You are the president of AMT Enterprises. You have the opportunity to expand your product line to include a new semi-conductor wafer fabrication line. In order to produce the new wafer, you must invest in a new production process. In addition to doing nothing, two mutually exclusive processes are currently available to produce the wafer. Should you produce this new wafer? In other words, which, if either, of the alternative processes should be chosen? Note: IRR for Alternative I = 15.7 %, and IRR for Alternative II = 15.6%. Assume that the capital investment for each alternative occurs at year 0 and that the annual revenues and expenses first occur at the end of year one. Use the incremental IRR method to justify your decision. Your company’s MARR is 15%.
All parts are under one question and therefore can be answered in full per your policy.
4. Analysis of a replacement project
At times firms will need to decide if they want to continue to use their current equipment or replace the equipment with newer equipment. The company will need to do replacement analysis to determine which option is the best financial decision for the company.
Price Co. is considering replacing an existing piece of equipment. The project involves the following:
•
The new equipment will have a cost of $600,000, and it is eligible for 100% bonus depreciation so it will be fully depreciated at t = 0.
•
The old machine was purchased before the new tax law, so it is being depreciated on a straight-line basis. It has a book value of $200,000 (at year 0) and four more years of depreciation left ($50,000 per year).
•
The new equipment will have a salvage value of $0 at the end of the project's life (year 6). The old machine has a current salvage value (at…

An investment is required to start the production of the component for which two mutually exclusive projects A and B representing different production processes are available. The alternative option is to buy in from another company representing project C. The details of projects A and B are given in Table 3: (i) Using the information from table 3 and Discount Cash Flow criteria, calculate Pay Back Period (PBP), Account Rate of Return (ARR), Net Present Value (NPV) and Internal Rate Return (IRR) for project A & Project B if the industry plans to sale the unit cost of RO 350.

- THE DECISION TO LEASE OR BUY AT WARF COMPUTERS Warf Computers has decided to proceed with the manufacture and distribution of the virtual keyboard (VK) the company has developed. To undertake this venture, the company needs to obtain equipment for the production of the microphone for the keyboard. Because of the required sensitivity of the microphone and its small size, the company needs specialized equipment for production. Nick Warf, the company president, has found a vendor for the equipment. Clapton Acoustical Equipment has offered to sell Warf Computers the necessary equipment at a price of $6.1 million. Because of the rapid development of new technology, the equipment falls in the three-year MACRS depreciation class. At the end of four years, the market value of the equipment is expected to be $780,000. Alternatively, the company can lease the equipment from Hendrix Leasing. The lease contract calls for four annual payments of $1.48 million, due at the beginning of the year.…arrow_forwardConsider three mutually exclusive projects: Project A, Project B and Project C.

- Adidas is evaluating a proposal for a new product. If they launch the product, they will use an existing facility in the production process, which they previously acquired for $4 million. They currently lease it to a third party, and they expect to continue to do so if they don't use it for the new product. They rent it out for $102,000 and they expect that to remain flat for the foreseeable future. The project requires immediate investment in CAPX of $1.3 million, which will be depreciated on a straight-line basis over the next 10 years for tax purposes. The project will end after eight years, at which time they expect to salvage some of the initital CAPX and sell it for $469,000. The project requires immediate working capital investments equal to 10% of predicted first-year sales. After that, working capital will remain at 10% of the following year's expected sales. They expect sales to be $4.6 million in the first year and to stay constant for eight years.
