Friedman Company is considering installing a new IT system. The cost of the new system is estimated to be 2,250,000, but it would produce after-tax savings of 450,000 per year in labor costs. The estimated life of the new system is 10 years, with no salvage value expected. Intrigued by the possibility of saving 450,000 per year and having a more reliable information system, the president of Friedman has asked for an analysis of the projects economic viability. All capital projects are required to earn at least the firms cost of capital, which is 12 percent. Required: 1. Calculate the projects internal rate of return. Should the company acquire the new IT system? 2. Suppose that savings are less than claimed. Calculate the minimum annual cash savings that must be realized for the project to earn a rate equal to the firms cost of capital. Comment on the safety margin that exists, if any. 3. Suppose that the life of the IT system is overestimated by two years. Repeat Requirements 1 and 2 under this assumption. Comment on the usefulness of this information.
Roberts Company is considering an investment in equipment that is capable of producing more efficiently than the current technology. The outlay required is 2,293,200. The equipment is expected to last five years and will have no salvage value. The expected cash flows associated with the project are as follows: Required: 1. Compute the projects payback period. 2. Compute the projects accounting rate of return. 3. Compute the projects net present value, assuming a required rate of return of 10 percent. 4. Compute the projects internal rate of return.
Fox Co. is considering an investment that will have the following sales, variable costs, and fixed operating costs: Unit sales Sales price Variable cost per unit Fixed operating costs This project will require an investment of $15,000 in new equipment. Under the new tax law, the equipment is eligible for 100% bonus deprecation at t = 0, so it will be fully depreciated at the time of purchase. The equipment will have no salvage value at the end of the project's four-year life. Fox pays a constant tax rate of 25%, and it has a weighted average cost of capital (WACC) of 11%. Determine what the project's net present value (NPV) would be under the new tax law.

A new piece of equipment has a first cost of $300,000 with no salvage value. It will generate annual revenues of $80,000, annual expenses of $40,000, and has a recovery period of 10 years. a) Using Straight-Line Depreciation, an effective tax rate of 20%, and a MARR of 10%, construct a complete income statement. b) What is the NPV of this project?
Foley Systems is considering a new project whose data are shown below. Under the new tax law, the equipment for the project is eligible for 100% bonus depreciation, so it will be fully depreciated at t = 0. After the project's 3-year life, the equipment would have zero salvage value. The project would require additional net operating working capital (NOWC) that would be recovered at the end of the project's life. Revenues and operating costs are expected to be constant over the project's life. What is the project's NPV? (Hint: Cash flows from operations are constant in Years 1 to 3.) Do not round the intermediate calculations and round the final answer to the nearest whole number.
