Give typing answer with explanation and conclusion
Your company is contemplating replacing their current fleet of delivery vehicles with Nissan NV vans. You will be replacing 5 fully-depreciated vans, which you think you can sell for $3,700 a piece and which you could probably use for another 2 years if you chose not to replace them. The NV vans will cost $36,000 each in the configuration you want them, and can be depreciated using MACRS over a 5-year life, but you are unable to make use of either bonus depreciation or Section 179 expensing. Expected yearly before-tax cash savings due to acquiring the new vans amounts to about $4,400 each. If your cost of capital is 12 percent and your firm faces a 21 percent tax rate, what will the cash flows for this project be? (Round your answers to the nearest dollar amount.)

Your answer is partially correct.
Vaughn Inc. owns and operates a number of hardware stores in the New England region. Recently, the company has decided to locate
another store in a rapidly growing area of Maryland. The company is trying to decide whether to purchase or lease the building and
related facilities.
Purchase: The company can purchase the site, construct the building, and purchase all store fixtures. The cost would be $1,865,700.
An immediate down payment of $415,500 is required, and the remaining $1,450,200 would be paid off over 5 years at $369,000 per
year (including interest payments made at end of year). The property is expected to have a useful life of 12 years, and then it will be
sold for $508,900. As the owner of the property, the company will have the following out-of-pocket expenses each period.
Property taxes (to be paid at the end of each year)
Insurance (to be paid at the beginning of each year)

Customers returning the subwoofers receive a new replacement. The warrant)' returns are then rebuilt and resold (as seconds). Tent sales are often used to sell the rebuilt speakers. As part of the rebuilding process, the speakers are demagnetized so that metal pieces and shavings can be removed. A demagnetizing (demag) machine is used to achieve this objective. A product design change has made the most recent Model 150 speakers too tall for the demag machine. They no longer fit in the demag machine. Stillwater Designs is currently considering two alternatives. First, a new demag machine can be bought that has a different design, eliminating the fit problem. The cost of this machine is 600,000, and it will last 5 years. Second, Stillwater can keep the current machine and sell the 150 speakers for scrap, using the old demag machine for the Model 100 and 120 speakers only. A rebuilt speaker sells for 295 and costs 274.65 to rebuild (for materials, labor, and overhead cash outlays). The 274.65 outlay includes the annual operating cash effects of the new demag machine. If not rebuilt, the Model 150 speakers can be sold for 4 each as scrap. There are 10,000 Model 150 warranty returns per year. Assume that the required rate of return is 10%. Required: 1.

He has narrowed his choices to two: Brand A and Brand B. Both brands have the same processing speed, hard disk capacity, RAM, graphics card memory, and basic software support package. Both come from companies with good reputations. The selling price for each is identical. After some review, Keith discovers that the cost of operating and maintaining Brand A over a three-year period is estimated to be 200. For Brand B, the operating and maintenance cost is 600. The sales agent for Brand A emphasized the lower operating and maintenance cost. She claimed that it was lower than any other PC brand. The sales agent for Brand B, however, emphasized the service reputation of the product. She provided Keith with a copy of an article appearing in a PC magazine that rated service performance of various PC brands. Brand B was rated number one. Based on all the information, Keith decided to buy Brand B. Required: 1. What is the total product purchased by Keith? 2. Is the Brand A company pursuing a cost leadership or differentiation strategy? The Brand B company? Explain. 3. When asked why he purchased Brand B, Keith replied, I think Brand B offered more value than Brand A. What are the possible sources of this greater value?
