You must evaluate a proposal to buy a new milling machine. The purchase price of the milling machine, including shipping and installation costs, is $162,000, and the equipment will be fully depreciated at the time of purchase. The machine would be sold after 3 years for $111,000. The machine would require a $9,000 increase in net operating working capital (increased Inventory less increased accounts payable). There would be no effect on revenues, but pretax labor costs would decline by $42,000 per year. The marginal tax rate is 25%, and the WACC is 11%. Also, the firm spent $4,500 lest year investigating the feasibility of using the machine. a. How should the $4,500 spent last year be handled? 1. Last year's expenditure should be treated as a terminal cash flow and dealt with at the end of the project's life. Hence, it should not be included in the initial investment outlay. II. Last year's expenditure is considered an opportunity cost and does not represent an incremental cash flow. Hence, it should not be included in the analysis. III. Last year's expenditure is considered a sunk cost and does not represent an incremental cash flow. Hence, it should not be included in the analysis. IV. The cost of research is an incremental cash flow and should be included in the analysis. V. Only the tax effect of the research expenses should be included in the analysis. b. What is the initial investment outlay for the machine for capital budgeting purposes after the 100% bonus depreciation is considered, that is, what is the Year O project cash flow? Enter your answer as a positive value. Round your answer to the nearest dollar. $ c. What are the project's annual cash flots during Years 1, 2, and 37 Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to the nearest dollar Year 1: $ Year 2: $ Year 3: $

Isle Royale Solutions is considering a project that would have a eight-year life and would require a $2,904,000 investment in equipment. At the end of eight years, the project would terminate and the equipment would have no salvage value.

The company requires a minimum pretax return of 16% on all investment projects. (Ignore income taxes.) Click here to view Exhibit 148-1 and Exhibit 14B-2, to determine the appropriate discount factor(s) using the tables provided Required: Determine the not present value of the project.

You must evaluate the purchase of a proposed spectrometer for the R&D department. The purchase price of the spectrometer including modifications is $100,000, and the equipment will be fully depreciated at the time of purchase. The equipment would be sold after 3 years for $28,000. The equipment would require a $12,000 increase in net operating working capital (spare parts inventory). The project would have no effect on revenues, but it should save the firm $22,000 per year in before-tax labor costs. The firm's marginal federal-plus-state tax rate is 25%. What is the initial investment outlay for the spectrometer after bonus depreciation is considered, that is, what is the Year 0 project cash flow? Enter your answer as a positive value. Round your answer to the nearest dollar. What are the project's annual cash flows in Years 1, 2, and 3? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to the nearest dollar.
