Consider the following after-tax cash flows: (a) Compute the project balances for Projects A and D, as a function of project year, at i = 10%.(b) Compute the future worth values for Projects A and D at i = 10% at theend of service life.(c) Suppose that Projects Band Care mutually exclusive. Assume also that the required service period is eight years and that the company is considering leasing comparable equipment that has an annual lease expense of $3,000 for the remaining years of the required service period. Which project is the better choice?
Suppose an asset has a purchase cost of $15,000, a life of five years, a salvage value of $3,000 at the end of five years, and a net annual before-tax revenue of $7,500. The firm's marginal tax rate is 35%. The asset will be depreciated by five-year MACRS.(a) Determine the cash flow after taxes, assuming that the purchase cost will be entirely financed by the equity funds.(b) Rework part (a), assuming that the entire investment would be financed by a bank loan at an interest rate of 9%.(c) Given a choice between paying the purchase cost up front from the firm's equity and using the financing method of part (b), show calculations to justify which is the better choice at an interest rate of 9%.
Given the initial investment in a factory processing equipment as Ghc500,037. Let the opportunity cost of capital for the industry be 10% p.a. Assuming that the equipment is capable of generating an after-tax returns of Ghc115,000 for the first 5 years and Ghc65000 for the 6th year and Ghc53400 for the 7th year. Find the Net Present Value (NPV) Determine the Internal Rate of Return Identify three ways in which the Net Present value is superior to the Internal Rate of return as investment criteria
A project requires an initial investment of $200,000 and expects to produce a cash flow before taxes of $120,000 per year for two years (i.e., cash flows will occur at t= 1 and t= 2). The corporate tax rate is 21 percent. The assets will depreciate using the MACRS 3-year schedule: (t = 1, 33%); (t = 2: 45% ); (t = 3: 15%); ( t = 4: 7%). The company's tax situation is such that it can use all applicable tax shields. The opportunity cost of capital is 12 percent. Assume that the asset can sell for book value at the end of the project. Calculate the NPV of the project (approximately). Multiple Choice $22,463 $19,315 $22,735 $5,721

CII, Incorporated, invests $700,000 in a project expected to earn a 9% annual rate of return. The earnings will be reinvested in the project each year until the entire investment is liquidated 11 years later. What will the cash proceeds be when the project is liquidated?
