Chapter 10, Problem 33QP
Calculating Required Savings [LO2] A proposed cost-saving device has an installed cost of $645,000. The device will be used in a five-year project but is classified as three-year MACRS property for tax purposes. The required initial net working capital investment is $55,000, the marginal tax rate is 35 percent, and the project discount rate is 9 percent. The device has an estimated Year 5 salvage value of $75,000. What level of pretax cost savings do we require for this project to be profitable?

- ces We are evaluating a project that costs $2,160,000, has a 8-year life, and has no salvage value. Assume that depreciation is straight-line to zero over the life of the project. Sales are projected at 90,900 units per year. Price per unit is $38.91, variable cost per unit is $24.00, and fixed costs are $863,000 per year. The tax rate is 21 percent and we require a return of 11 percent on this project. Suppose the projections given for price, quantity, variable costs, and fixed costs are all accurate to within ±10 percent. Calculate the best-case and worst-case NPV figures. Note: A negative answer should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.

Problem 12.08 (New Project Analysis) A-Z dofice еВook You must evaluate the purchase of a proposed spectrometer for the R&D department. The base price is $80,000, and it would cost another $12,000 to modify the equipment for special use by the firm. The equipment falls into the MACRS 3-year class and would be sold after 3 years for $28,000. The applicable depreciation rates are 33%, 45%, 15%, and 7%. The equipment would require an $9,000 increase in net operating working capital (spare parts inventory).

Imagine that there are two approaches to solving a particular environmental problem. The first approach involves an initial investment of $400M and ongoing costs of $2M each year over a 10-year lifetime. The second approach involves an initial investment of $300M and ongoing costs of $15M each year over a 10-year lifetime. Neither project has any residual value or remediation costs at the end of 10 years. A. Assuming that the projects are otherwise similar with regard to reliability, sustainability and robustness, how do the present value of the costs of each project compare?
