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.

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
