Hancock Company is trying to make a decision as to whether it should purchase of a new piece of equipment. The invoice price of the equipment is $140,000 with an estimate of $4,000 in freight charges and installation costs are expected to be $6,000. The Company expects that the salvage value of the new equipment will be zero after a useful life of 5 years.
If the new machine is not purchased, the Company’s existing equipment could be retained and used for an additional 5 years. At that time, the salvage value of the existing equipment would be zero. If the new machine is purchased now, the existing machine would have to be scrapped.
The following is data regarding annual sales and expenses with and without the new machine:
Without the new machine, Hancock can sell 12,000 units of product annually at a per unit selling price of $100. If the new machine is purchased, the number of units produced and sold would increase by 10%, and the selling price would remain the same.…

During the first year of operations, expects its total revenues to increase by $50,000 above the level that
would have prevailed without the exercise facility. These incremental revenues are expected to grow to
$65,000 in year 2, $75,000 in year 3, decline to $60,000 in year 4, and decline again to $40,000 during the

Century Roofing is thinking of opening a new warehouse, and the key data are shown below. The company owns the building that would be used, and it could sell it for $100,000 after taxes if it decides not to open the new warehouse. The equipment for the project would be depreciated by the straight-line method over the project's 3-year life, after which it would be worth nothing and thus it would have a zero salvage value. No new working capital would be required, and revenues and other operating costs would be constant over the project's 3-year life. What is the project's NPV?

- Copco Inc., a mining outfit in Southeastern Arizona, is considering abandoning one of its older plants. The plant currently has a book value of $10 million, and has a 5 year depreciable economic life remaining. Coco plans to continue depreciating the plant and the associated assets using straight-line depreciation. The firm has two options concerning the continued operation of the plant: (1) abandon the plant today and sell it for $15 million, or (2) continue operating the plant for the next 5 years at which time management estimates the plant will be worth S1 million. If the firm decides to operate the plant, cash revenues are estimated to be $7,000,000 per year while operating expenses are predicted to be $3,000,000 per annum. Copco is in the 40 percent tax bracket with an attendant Cost of Capital of 12 percent. given the above information, determine whether the plant should be abandoned today or continue to be operated for the next five years.
