Electronic Measurement and Control Company (EMCC) has developed a laser speed detector that emits infrared light invisible to humans and radar detectors alike. For full-scale commercial marketing, EMCC needs to invest $5 million in new manufacturing facilities. The system is priced at $3,000 per unit. The company expects to sell 5,000 units annually over the next five years. The new manufacturing facilities will be depreciated according to a seven-year MACRS property class. The expected salvage value of the manufacturing facilities at the end of five years is $1.6 million. The manufacturing cost for the detector is $1,200 per unit excluding depreciation expenses. The operating and maintenance costs are expected to run to $1.2 million per year. EMCC has a combined federal and state income-tax rate of 35%, and undertaking this project will not change this current marginal tax rate.(a) Determine the incremental taxable income, income taxes, and net income that would result from…
Assume that United Technologies is evaluating a proposal to change the company's manual design system to a computer-aided design (CAD) system. The proposed system is expected to save 10,000 design hours per year; an operating cost savings of $50 per hour. The annual cash expenditures of operating the CAD system are estimated to be $250,000. The CAD system requires an initial investment of $500,000. The estimated life of this system is five years with no salvage value. The tax rate is 40 percent. United Technologies has a cost of capital of 20 percent.Assume that management intends to use double-declining balance depreciation with a switch to straight-line depreciation (applied to any undepreciated balance) starting in Year 4.Determine the project's net present value
AAA Trucking, Inc. has hired you as a consultant to evaluate the proposed acquisition of a new electric autonomous driving truck for a pilot project. The truck's base price is $600,000. Due to the technical complexity of the vehicle, the company will have to pay $1,000 to train a "driver" before the truck can be put into operation. Assume the truck falls into the MACRS 5-year class. If purchased for this pilot project, the company expects to use the truck for two years and then sell it at the end of the second year. The expected market value of the truck at the end of the second year is $310,000. Use of the truck will require an increase in inventory of $4,000 and accounts payable are expected to increase by $3,000. The truck is expected to increase the firm's revenue by $145,000 per year and it is expected to increase operating expenses by $75,000 per year. Last month a consultant was paid $2,000 to do a similar analysis and recommended that the truck be purchased, the firm has hired…

- Mallette Manufacturing, Inc., produces washing machines, dryers, and dishwashers. Because of increasing competition, Mallette is considering investing in an automated manufacturing system. Since competition is most keen for dishwashers, the production process for this line has been selected for initial evaluation. The automated system for the dishwasher line would replace an existing system (purchased one year ago for 6 million). Although the existing system will be fully depreciated in nine years, it is expected to last another 10 years. The automated system would also have a useful life of 10 years. The existing system is capable of producing 100,000 dishwashers per year. Sales and production data using the existing system are provided by the Accounting Department: All cash expenses with the exception of depreciation, which is 6 per unit. The existing equipment is being depreciated using straight-line with no salvage value considered. The automated system will cost 34 million to purchase, plus an estimated 20 million in software and implementation. (Assume that all investment outlays occur at the beginning of the first year.) If the automated equipment is purchased, the old equipment can be sold for 3 million. The automated system will require fewer parts for production and will produce with less waste. Because of this, the direct material cost per unit will be reduced by 25 percent. Automation will also require fewer support activities, and as a consequence, volume-related overhead will be reduced by 4 per unit and direct fixed overhead (other than depreciation) by 17 per unit. Direct labor is reduced by 60 percent. Assume, for simplicity, that the new investment will be depreciated on a pure straight-line basis for tax purposes with no salvage value. Ignore the half-life convention. The firms cost of capital is 12 percent, but management chooses to use 20 percent as the required rate of return for evaluation of investments. The combined federal and state tax rate is 40 percent. Required: 1. Compute the net present value for the old system and the automated system. Which system would the company choose? 2. Repeat the net present value analysis of Requirement 1, using 12 percent as the discount rate. 3. Upon seeing the projected sales for the old system, the marketing manager commented: Sales of 100,000 units per year cannot be maintained in the current competitive environment for more than one year unless we buy the automated system. The automated system will allow us to compete on the basis of quality and lead time. If we keep the old system, our sales will drop by 10,000 units per year. Repeat the net present value analysis, using this new information and a 12 percent discount rate. 4. An industrial engineer for Mallette noticed that salvage value for the automated equipment had not been included in the analysis. He estimated that the equipment could be sold for 4 million at the end of 10 years. He also estimated that the equipment of the old system would have no salvage value at the end of 10 years. Repeat the net present value analysis using this information, the information in Requirement 3, and a 12 percent discount rate. 5. Given the outcomes of the previous four requirements, comment on the importance of providing accurate inputs for assessing investments in automated manufacturing systems.arrow_forwardThe Ocean City water park is considering the purchase of a new log flume ride. The cost to purchase the equipment is $8,000,000, and it will cost an additional $475,000 to have it installed. The equipment has an expected life of 6 years, and it will be depreciated using a MACRS 7-year class life. Management expects to run about 150 rides per day, with each ride averaging 35 riders. The season will last for 120 days per year. In the first year, the ticket price per rider is expected to be $5.25, and it will be increased by 4% per year. The variable cost per rider will be $1.65, and total fixed costs will be $525,000 per year. After six years, the ride will be dismantled at a cost of $245,000 and the parts will be sold for $600,000. The cost of capital is 8.5%, and its marginal tax rate is 25%. a. Calculate the initial outlay, annual after-tax cash flow for each year, and the terminal cash flow.arrow_forwardThe Ocean City water park is considering the purchase of a new log flume ride.

The new equipment has the same capacity as the current equipment but will provide operating efficiencies in labor and power usage. The savings in operating costs are estimated at $150,000 annually.The new equipment will cost $300,000 and will be purchased at the beginning of the year when the project is started. The equipment dealer is certain that the equipment will be operational during the second quarter of the year it is installed. Therefore, 60 percent of the estimated annual savings can be obtained in the first year. The company will incur a one-time expense of $30,000 to transfer production activities from the old equipment to the new equipment. No loss of sales will occur, however, because the processing facility is large enough to install the new equipment without interfering with the operations of the…arrow_forward
