You have been asked to evaluate the proposed acquisition of a new portable MRI. The system’s price is $70,000 and it will cost another $20,000 for transportation and installation the system is expected to be sold after three years because a new stationary machine will be acquired at that time the best estimate of the system salvage value after three years is $30,000 the system will have no impact on volume or reimbursement (and hence revenues) but it is expected to save $20,000 per year in operating costs the not for profit business corporate cost of capital is 10% and the standard risk adjustment is 4% points What is the project's net investment outlay at time 0?   What are the projects operating cash flows in years 1, 2, and 3?   What is the terminal cash flow at the end of year 3?   If the project has average risk, it is expected to be profitable?

The management of Kunkel Company is considering the purchase of a $21,000 machine that would reduce operating costs by $5,000 per year. At the end of the machine’s five-year useful life, it will have zero salvage value. The company’s required rate of return is 12%.   Click here to view Exhibit 12B-1 and Exhibit 12B-2, to determine the appropriate discount factor(s) using table.   Required: 1. Determine the net present value of the investment in the machine. 2. What is the difference between the total, undiscounted cash inflows and cash outflows over the entire life of the machine?

(Ignore income taxes in this problem.)  Your Company has a telephone system that is in poor condition. The system must be either overhauled or replaced with a new system. The following data have been gathered concerning these two alternatives:       Present System Proposed New System   Purchase cost when new $100,000 $110,000   Accumulated depreciation 90,000     Overhaul cost needed now 80,000     Working capital required   50,000   Annual cash operating costs 30,000 20,000   Salvage value now of old system   10,000   Salvage value in 8 years 2,000 15,000   Your Company uses a 12% discount rate and the total cost approach to capital budgeting analysis. Both alternatives are expected to have a useful life of eight years.  What is the net present value of the new system alternative?  Enter your answer without dollar signs.  If the NPV is negative enter with a minus sign in front.

Cullumber Clinic is considering investing in new heart-monitoring equipment. It has two options. Option A would have an initial lower cost but would require a significant expenditure for rebuilding after 4 years. Option B would require no rebuilding expenditure, but its maintenance costs would be higher. Since the Option B machine is of initial higher quality, it is expected to have a salvage value at the end of its useful life. The following estimates were made of the cash flows. The company's cost of capital is 5%. Initial cost Annual cash inflows Annual cash outflows Cost to rebuild (end of year 4) Salvage value Estimated useful life Click here to view the factor table. (a) Your answer is partially correct. Option A Option A $170,000 $70,200 $30,700 $49,000 Option B $ $0 7 years $ Compute the (1) net present value. (2) profitability index, and (3) internal rate of return for each option. (Hint: To solve for internal rate of return, experiment with alternative discount rates to…

! Required information Two options are available for setting up a wireless meter scanner and controller. A simple setup is good for 2 years and has an initial cost of $11,000, no salvage value, and an AOC of $27,000 per year. A more permanent system has a higher first cost of $73,000, but it has an estimated life of 6 years and a salvage value of $15,000. It costs only $17,000 per year to operate and maintain. NOTE: This is a multi-part question. Once an answer is submitted, you will be unable to return to this part. If the two options are compared using an incremental rate of return, what is the incremental cash flow in year 6? The incremental cash flow in year 6 is $

Metropolitan Water Utility is planning to upgrade its SCADA system for controlling well pumps, booster pumps, and disinfection equipment so that everything can be controlled from one site. The first phase will reduce labor and travel costs by an estimated $31,000 per year. The second phase will reduce costs by an estimated $20,000 per year. If phase I will occur in years 1 through 3 and phase II in years 4 through 8, what is (a) the present worth of the savings, and (b) the equivalent annual worth for years 1 through 8 of the savings? Use an interest rate of 8% per year. Solve using tabulated factors and a spreadsheet.

A conveyor system was purchased three years ago for $60,000 with an expected useful life of 10 years and no expected salvage value.  Due to a change in product configuration, the conveyor system must be upgraded at a cost of $20,000.  Maintenance on this system is approximately $4000 per year and the current system has a market value of $2000.  Alternatively, the current system can be replaced with new equipment costing $65,000, with operating costs of $1,000 per year and an expected salvage of $10,000 after 7 years.  Determine whether the company should keep or replace the defender now at an MARR of 15% per year.  The current system is the Defender and the new system is the Challenger.   What is the annual worth of the challenger?

BAK Corp. is considering purchasing one of two new diagnostic machines. Either machine would make it possible for the company to bid on jobs that it currently isn't equipped to do. Estimates regarding each machine are provided below. Original cost Estimated life Salvage value Estimated annual cash inflows Estimated annual cash outflows Click here to view the factor table. Net present value Profitability index Machine A $78,200 8 years Which machine should be purchased? Machine B Machine A CTCALDOOK and Media $19,800 $5,130 Machine A 0 should be purchased. Calculate the net present value and profitability index of each machine. Assume a 9% discount rate. (If the net present value is negative, use either a negative sign preceding the number eg -45 or parentheses eg (45). Round answer for present value to 0 decimal places, e.g. 125 and profitability index to 2 decimal places, e.g. 10.50. For calculation purposes, use 5 decimal places as displayed in the factor table provided.) Machine B…

A remotely located air sampling station can be powered by solar cells or by running an above ground electric line to the site and using conventional power. Solar cells will cost $17,200 to install and will have a useful life of 5 years with no salvage value. Annual costs for inspection, cleaning, and other maintenance issues are expected to be $2,000. A new power line will cost $25,500 to install, with power costs expected to be $1,000 per year. Since the air sampling project will end in 5 years, the salvage value of the line is considered to be zero. At an interest rate of 10% per year and using an AW analysis, what must be the first cost of the above ground line to make the two alternatives equally attractive economically? The first cost of the above ground line to make the two alternatives equally attractive economically is $-1

Wildhorse's Auto Care is considering the purchase of a new tow truck. The garage doesn't currently have a tow truck, and the $59,950 price tag for a new truck would represent a major expenditure. Wildhorse Austen, owner of the garage, has compiled the following estimates in trying to determine whether the tow truck should be purchased. Initial cost $59,950 Estimated useful life 8 years Net annual cash flows from towing $7,990 Overhaul costs (end of year 4) $5,970 Salvage value $12,000 Show Transcribed Text د Wildhorse's good friend, Rick Ryan, stopped by. He is trying to convince Wildhorse that the tow truck will have other benefits that Wildhorse hasn't even considered. First, he says, cars that need towing need to be fixed. Thus, when Wildhorse tows them to her facility, her repair revenues will increase. Second, he notes that the tow truck could have a plow mounted on it, thus saving Wildhorse the cost of plowing her parking lot. (Rick will give her a used plow blade for free if…
