- A new high-efficiency digital-controlled flange-lipper can be purchased for $130,000, including installation costs. During its 5-year life, it will reduce cash operating expenses by $45,000 per year, although it will not affect sales. At the end of its useful life, the high-efficiency machine is estimated to be worthless. MACRS depreciation will be used, and the machine will be depreciated over its 3-year class life rather than its 5-year economic life, so the applicable depreciation rates are 33.33%, 44.45%, 14.81%, and 7.41%. The old machine can be sold today for $50,000. The firm's tax rate is 35%, and the appropriate cost of capital is 14%. If the new flange-lipper is purchased, what is the amount of the initial cash flow at Year 0? Round your answer to the nearest whole dollar.$ What are the incremental net cash flows that will occur at the end of Years 1 through 5? Do not round intermediate calculations.

This expansion will require the purchase of land at a cost of $150,000. A new building will cost $120,000 and will be depreciated on a straight-line basis over 10 years to a salvage value of $0. Actual land salvage at the end of 10 years is expected to be $200,000. The actual building salvage at the end of 10 years is expected to be $190,000. Equipment for the facility is expected to cost $260,000. Installation costs will be an additional $20,000 and shipping costs will be $13,000. This equipment will be depreciated as a 7-year MACRS asset. Actual estimated salvage at the end of 10 years is $0. The project will require net working capital of $75,000 initially (year 0), an additional $40,000 at the end of year 1, and an additional $40,000 at the end of year 2.

You have learned that a new machine is available that offers many advantages and you can purchase it for $150,000 today. It will be depreciated on a straight-line basis over 10 years and has no salvage value. You expect that the new machine will produce a gross margin (revenues minus operating expenses other than depreciation) of $40,000 per year for the next 10 years. The current machine is expected to produce a gross margin of $25,000 per year. The current machine is being depreciated on a straight-line basis over a useful life of 11 years, and has no salvage value, so depreciation expense for the current machine is $8,636 per year. The market value today of the current machine is $45,000. Your company's tax rate is 35%, and the opportunity cost of capital for this type of equipment is 11%.

- ou must evaluate a proposal to buy a new milling machine. The purchase price of the milling machine, including shipping and installation costs, is $157,000, and the equipment will be fully depreciated at the time of purchase. The machine would be sold after 3 years for $86,000. The machine would require an $8,000 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 $47,000 per year. The marginal tax rate is 25%, and the WACC is 9%. Also, the firm spent $4,500 last year investigating the feasibility of using the machine. 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 0 project cash flow?

The machine will cost $1.3 million. It is classified as a 7-year MACRS asset and will be depreciated as such. Interest costs associated with financing the equipment purchase are estimated to be $50,000 per year. The expected salvage value of the machine at the end of 10 years is $80,000. The decision to add the new line of bow ties will require additional net working capital of $55,000 immediately, $30,000 at the end of year 1, and $10,000 at the end of year 2. RBW expects to sell $370,000 worth of the bow ties during each of the 10 years of product life. RBW expects the sales of its other ties to decline by $23,000 (in year 1) as a result of adding this new line of ties. The lost sales level will remain constant at $23,000 over the 10-year life of the proposed project. The cost of producing and selling the ties is estimated to be $70,000 per year.…arrow_forwardA two-year project has an initial requirement of $500,000 for fixed assets and $100,000 for net working capital. The fixed assets will be depreciated using MACRS and the fixed asset falls into the three-year MACRS class. Depreciation rates for years 1 and 2 are 0.3333 and 0.4445. The estimated salvage value is $120,000. All of the net working capital will be recouped at the end of the 2 years. Management estimates that sales revenues less costs will be $700,000 per year for years 1 and 2. The discount rate is 9 percent and tax rate is 35 percent.
