Q.The Kuhl Brothers ask you whether they should buy the new machine. To help in your analysis, calculate the following:
1. Annual recurring after-tax cash operating savings from using the new machine (variable and fixed)

You have narrowed down your choices for a new car to two
opuons. One is relatively cheap with a short economic life and the other
is more expensive but will last longer until you feel it will need to be
replaced. Given the two cash flows below for the two car choices, use
a Present Worth Analysis to determine the better choice, economically,
and by how much. Use an i % annual interest.

- 4. I need help with multiple choice finance home work question All else equal, a project's NPV increases when: The discount rate increases. Each cash inflow is delayed by one year. All cash inflows occur during the last year of a project's life instead of periodically throughout the life of the project. The initial cost of a project increases. The discount rate decreases.arrow_forwardQuestion 1 Health for All (“H4A”) is launching a new innovative hand sanitizer. However, due to intense research and development required to meet regulatory requirements, H4A wants to ensure they charge the correct price to recover all these costs. Through their research they identified that if they charge $60 per bottle of sanitizer, 250 000 bottles will be demanded per year. They expect that the demand for sanitizers will fall in the next three years therefore they have estimated this product to have a life of 3 years. Given the current Covid-19 pandemic, many other businesses are also selling hand sanitizers. Therefore the market that H4A wants to enter has a very high elastic demand. It has thus been observed that if H4A increases its price by $2, the demand will fall by 2 000 bottles while a reduction in price by the same amount will increase demand by 2 000 bottles as well. The production of the sanitizers will incur the following costs per year at differing levels of production.…arrow_forwardQUESTION 1 Agro Tech Corporation is considering investing in a new IT system for selling to its clients.

You have two choices: the Kia Rio, which will cost $16,500 to purchase and which will have OCF of −$1,700 annually throughout the vehicle’s expected life of three years as a delivery vehicle; and the Toyota Prius, which will cost $24,000 to purchase and which will have OCF of −$900 annually throughout that vehicle’s expected 4-year life. Both cars will be worthless at the end of their life. If you intend to replace whichever type of car you choose with the same thing when its life runs out, again and again out into the foreseeable future.

- Q. 3. You have an opportunity to install solar panels on your home. The upfront cost of installing the system is $30,000 and the system is expected to save you $140 per month in electricity costs. The expected lifetime of the system is 25 years. a) Write down the formula for the internal rate of return on this project. b) Use Excel to graph the internal rate of return at different discount rates, ranging from 0% to 10%. Attach your graph. c) Over the last 20 years the rate of return on the U.S. stock market has been an average of 7% (using the annual rate of growth in the Wilshire 5000 index). Given that you could invest your $30,000 in the stock market, does the investment in solar panels make sense from an economic perspective? Why or why not? d) How high would the monthly electricity savings need to be to justify this investment if the internal rate of return needed to be at least 7%.arrow_forwardQ4 Cuci Kereta Sdn Bhd is evaluating two alternatives: the purchase of an automatic washing system or a semi-automatic washing system.
