The Scampini Supplies Company recently purchased a new delivery truck. The new truck cost $22,500, and it is expected to generate net after-tax operating cash flows, including depreciation, of $6,250 per year. The truck has a 5-year expected life. The expected salvage values after tax adjustments for the truck are given here. The company’s cost of capital is 10%. Should the firm operate the truck until the end of its 5-year physical life? If not, then what is its optimal economic life? Would the introduction of salvage values, in addition to operating cash flows, ever reduce the expected NPV and/or IRR of a project?
Depreciation Jensen Inc., a graphic arts studio, is considering the purchase of computer equipment and software for a total cost of $18,000. Jensen can pay for the equipment and software over three years at the rate of $6,000 per year. The equipment is expected to last 10 to 20 years, but because of changing technology, Jensen believes it may need to replace the system in as soon as three to five years. A three-year lease of similar equipment and software is available for $6,000 per year. Jensens accountant has asked you to recommend whether the company should purchase or lease the equipment and software and to suggest the length of time over which to depreciate the software and equipment if the company makes the purchase. Required Ignoring the effect of taxes, would you recommend the purchase or the lease? Why or why not? Referring to the definition of depreciation, what appropriate useful life should be used for the equipment and software?
Dauten is offered a replacement machine which has a cost of 8,000, an estimated useful life of 6 years, and an estimated salvage value of 800. The replacement machine is eligible for 100% bonus depreciation at the time of purchase- The replacement machine would permit an output expansion, so sales would rise by 1,000 per year; even so, the new machines much greater efficiency would cause operating expenses to decline by 1,500 per year The new machine would require that inventories be increased by 2,000, but accounts payable would simultaneously increase by 500. Dautens marginal federal-plus-state tax rate is 25%, and its WACC is 11%. Should it replace the old machine?
Alfredo Company purchased a new 3-D printer for $900,000. Although this printer is expected to last for ten years, Alfredo knows the technology will become old quickly, and so they plan to replace this printer in three years. At that point, Alfredo believes it will be able to sell the printer for $15,000. Calculate yearly depreciation using the double-declining-balance method.
Ralph's Bow Works (RBW) is planning to add a new line of bow ties that will require the acquisition of a new knitting and tying machine. The machine will cost $1.8 million. It is classified as a 7-year MACRS asset and will be depreciated as such. Interest costs associated with financing the equipment purchase are estimated to be $30,000 per year. The expected salvage value of the machine at the end of 15 years is $60,000. The decision to add the new line of bow ties will require additional net working capital of $45,000 immediately, $15,000 at the end of year 1, and $15,000 at the end of year 2. RBW expects to sell $280,000 worth of the bow ties during each of the 15 years of product life. RBW expects the sales of its other ties to decline by $15,000 (in year 1) as a result of adding this new line of ties. The lost sales level will remain constant at $15,000 over the 15-year life of the proposed project. The cost of producing and selling the ties is estimated to be $40,000 per year.…

Tucker Enterprise Inc. is considering a project that requires a numerically controlled (NC) machine for $28,000 (year 0) and plans to use it for five years, after which time it will be scrapped. The allowed depreciation deduction during the first year is $4,000 because the equipment falls into the seven-year MACRS property category. (The first-year depreciation rate is 14.29%.) The cost of the goods produced by this NC machine should include a charge for the depreciation of the machine. Suppose the company estimates the following revenues and expenses, including the depreciation for the first operating year:• Gross income = $50,000• Cost of goods sold = $20,000• Depreciation on the NC machine= $4,000• Operating expenses = $6,000Without the project, the company's taxable income from regular business operations amounts to $20 million, which places the company in the highest tax bracket of 35%. Compute the net income from the project during the first year.
Tech Engineering Company is considering the purchase of a new machine. The new machine, which falls into the MACRS 5-year class, has an estimated life of 5 years, and it costs $40,000 to purchase the machine. Tech plans to sell the machine at the end of the fifth year for $12,000. Initial decrease in accounts payable = $3,000, which must be restored at the end of the project's life. The applicable depreciation rates are 0.20, 0.32, 0.19, 0.12, 0.11, and 0.06. The new machine is expected to generate before-tax cash savings of $13,000 per year. The company's tax rate is 30%.

Nguyen Inc. is considering the purchase of a new computer system (ICX) for $110,000. The system will require an additional $20,000 for installation. If the new computer is purchased it will replace an old system that has been fully depreciated. The new system will be depreciated over a period of 8 years using straight-line depreciation. If the ICX is purchased, the old system will be sold for $10,000. The ICX system, which has a useful life of 8 years, is expected to increase revenues by $34,000 per year over its useful life. Operating costs are expected to decrease by $3,000 per year over the life of the system. The firm is taxed at a 40 percent marginal rate. Round your answers to the nearest dollar. What net investment is required to acquire the ICX system and replace the old system? $ Compute the annual net cash flows associated with the purchase of the ICX system. $
Commercial Hydronics is considering replacing one of its larger control devices. A new unit sells for $29,000 (delivered). An additional $3,000 will be needed to install the device. The new device has an estimated 20-‐year service life. The estimated salvage value at the end of 20 years will be $2,000. The new control device will be depreciated as a 7-‐year MACRS asset. The existing control device (original cost = $15,000) has been in use for 12 years, and it has been fully depreciated (that is, its book value equals zero). Its scrap value is estimated to be $1,000. The existing device could be used indefinitely, assuming the firm is willing to pay for its very high maintenance costs. The firm’s marginal tax rate is 40 percent. The newcontrol device requires lower maintenance costs and frees up personnel who normally would have to monitor the system. Estimated annual cash savings from the new device will be $9,000. The firm’scost of capital is 12 percent. Evaluate the relative merits…
