Casa Grande Farms is considering purchasing multiple tractors for a total purchase price of $540,000. These tractors are expected to generate EBITDA of $250,000 for each of the next three years. Casa Grande Farms
has a 21% tax rate and has a cost of capital of 10%.
Assuming that Casa Grande Farms depreciates these tractors using MACRS depreciation method for three-year property starting immediately, then the NPV of buying the tractors is closest to:
$20,785.
$81.715.
$560,785.
$54,965.
$513,235.
ACDC Company is considering the installation of a new machine that costs $150,000. The machine is expected to lead to net income of $44,000 per year for the next 5 years.

- 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_forwardFalkland, Inc., is considering the purchase of a patent that has a cost of $50,000 and an estimated revenue producing life of 4 years.

The operating costs will be $10,000 per year, and the useful life is expected to be 5 years with a $5,000 salvage value at that time. The present annual sales volume should increase by $16,000 as a result of acquiring the system. Assume the company's tax rate is 50%. Using a straight-line deprecation method, compute annual taxes and IRR for the investment. Rework the previous problem assuming (i) the system's taxable life is 8 years with a salvage value of $2,000, but that (ii) the company still salvages the system after 5 years for $5,000. Describe how this may affect cash flow in the forthcoming years.arrow_forward
