Turner plc is considering whether to buy a machine costing K100,000 through a three-year loan with interest at 14% per year. The machine would have zero scrap value at the end of it's three -year life. Alternatively, the machine could be leased for K320,000 per year, payable in arrears. Corporate tax is payable at 30 percent and capital allowances are available over the life of the machine on a 25% reducing balance basis. Calculate whether the company should lease or buy the machine.

New equipment costs $847,000 and is expected to last for five years with the salvage value of 10% of the equipment cost. During this time the company will use a 20% CCA rate. The new equipment will save $280,000 annually before taxes. If the company's required rate of return is 5.35%, determine the PVCCATS of the purchase. Assume a tax rate of 35%. Please show all the calculations by which you came up with the final answer.
It is estimated that insulation of steam pipes in a factory will reduce the fuel bill by as much as 20%. The cost of the insulation is P120,000, and the annual cost of taxes and insurance is 5% of the initial cost. Without the insulation, the annual fuel bill is P190,000. If the insulation is worthless after 6 years, and a minimum return is 12% , would it be worthwhile to invest in the insulation? What is the payback period of the investment?
900 Islands Co. is interested in purchasing a machine that would improve its operational efficiency. The cost is $200,000 with an estimated residual value of $20,000and a useful life of eight years. Cash inflows are expected to increase by $40,000 a year. The company's minimum rate of return is 10 percent. The present value of $1 for eight years at 10 percent is 0.467, and the present value of an annuity of $1 at 10 percent and eight years is 5.335. The net present value of the project is?
We are evaluating a project that costs RM604,000, has an 8-year life, and has no salvage value. Assume that depreciation is straight-line to zero over the life of the project. Sales are projected at 55,000 units per year. Price per unit is RM36, variable cost per unit is RM17, and fixed costs are RM685,000 per year. The tax rate is 21 percent and we require a return of 15 percent on this project. (i) Calculate the base-case cash flow and NPV., (ii) Assume the sales figure increases to 56,000 units per year, calculate the sensitivity of NPV to changes in the sales figure?
The initial cost of one customized machine is $675,000 with an annual operating cost of $14,800, and a life of 4 years. The machine will be worthless and replaced at the end of its life. What is the equivalent annual cost of this machine if the required rate of return is 14.5 percent and we ignore taxes? USING EXCEL FORMULAS

Project A has an internal rate of return of 10%. Project B costs £100 this year and will generate a cash flow of £105 next year. The two projects are not mutually exclusive. 1. The company should only undertake project A 2. If the appropriate discount rate is below 10%, the company should invest in both projects 3. If the appropriate discount rate is above 5% the company should invest in both projects 4. If the appropriate discount rate is above 5%, the company should not undertake project B
You want to buy a new plant with a price of Rs. 400,000. The borrowing cost is 10% interest rate to be paid at the end of each year. If it is purchased, the maintenance fee is Rs.10,000 per year paid at the end of each year. The depreciation falls in the MACRS 5-year class, rates are 30%, 20%, 10%, and 09%. The tax is 40%. Alternatively, the plant can be taken on lease for Rs. 85,000 upon delivery with 4 more annual rentals of Rs. 85,000 to be made at the end. This alternative includes maintenance requirement. After 04 years the asset’s salvage value is expected to be Rs. 20, 000. Required: What do you suggest should the plant be leased or purchased? Why?
Terminal Ltd purchased a machine at R80 000 two years ago. This machine can be replaced with a new machine at a cost of R100 000. The new machine can be sold for R30 000 after completion of a 5-year project. The old machine can be sold for R15 000 today. The SARS capital allowance on both machines is calculated at 20% per year. Net working capital will decrease with R1 500 at the end of the project life. Assume a tax rate of 28%. What is the net cash flow of the project in year 5? R20 100 R21 600 R30 000 R28 500 R8 400
100,000 TL is priced by a machine dealer. The purchaser of the machine estimates that the useful life of the machine will be 12 years. At the end of 12 years, the machine is expected to be sold for 90,000 TL. The machine will result in annual costs of 6,000 TL during its 12-year useful life, as well as save 15,000 TL annually. Since the phys rate is expected to be 9%, how much should the buyer give to the machine whose price is determined as 100.000 TL by the seller?
