Builtrite is considering purchasing a new machine that would cost $60,000 and the machine would be depreciated (straight line) down to $0 over its five year life. At the end of five years it is believed that the machine could be sold for $15,000. The machine would increase EBDT by $42,000 annually. Builtrite’s marginal tax rate is 34%.
What is the TCF associated with the purchase of this machine?
$5,100
$7,500
$0
$9,900
Johnny Dear Inc. is examining the possibility of purchasing harvesting machinery for
$147,500 that is expected to be sold at the end of 10 years for $500. The machinery
will generate benefits of $24,550 per year and will have maintenance costs of $3,203
per year. Johnny Dear Inc. will use an interest rate of 7% and a straight-line
depreciation method. Due to the next tax code the company has a flat tax rate of 21%.
Calculate the project's after-tax benefit cost ratio.
Remember to use two decimal points
Spectacular Flooring (SF) is a wood flooring wholesale company. SF is considering building a new inventory warehouse for $500,000.

- The Rodriguez Company is considering an average-risk investment in a mineral water spring project that has an initial after-tax cost of 170,000. The project will produce 1,000 cases of mineral water per year indefinitely, starting at Year 1. The Year-1 sales price will be 138 per case, and the Year-1 cost per case will be 105. The firm is taxed at a rate of 25%. Both prices and costs are expected to rise after Year 1 at a rate of 6% per year due to inflation. The firm uses only equity, and it has a cost of capital of 15%. Assume that cash flows consist only of after-tax profits because the spring has an indefinite life and will not be depreciated. a. What is the present value of future cash flows? (Hint: The project is a growing perpetuity, so you must use the constant growth formula to find its NPV.) What is the NPV? b. Suppose that the company had forgotten to include future inflation. What would they have incorrectly calculated as the projects NPV?arrow_forwardElena's Café is investing in a new commercial refrigeration unit that will cost $40,000. They estimate that the unit will produce annual revenues of $12,000 for each of the next 6 years. The refrigeration unit will have negligible salvage value at the end of the next 6 years. Assuming a tax rate of 24%, a MACRS 5-year property class, 50% bonus depreciation, and an after-tax MARR of 8%, compute the present worth of the refrigeration unit and determine whether or not Elena's Café should invest in the refrigeration unit.arrow_forwardHaulCo is considering the purchase of a truck. Over its five year life, it will provide net revenues of $15,000 per year at an initial cost of $65,000 and a salvage value of $20,000.

- firm is considering purchasing a machine that costs $77,000. It will be used for six years, and the salvage value at that time is expected to be zero.
