The LMN Corporation is considering an
investment that will cost $80,000 and have a
useful life of 4 years. During the first 2 years,
the net incremental after-tax cash flows
are $25,000 per year and for the last two
years they are $20,000 per year. What is the
payback period for this investment?
our firm, Agrico Products, is considering a tractor that would have a cost of $37,000, would increase pretax operating cash flows before taking account of depreciation by $12,000 per year, and would be depreciated on a straight-line basis to zero over 5 years at the rate of $7,400 per year beginning the first year. (Thus, annual cash flows would be $12,000 before taxes plus the tax savings that result from $7,400 of depreciation.) The managers disagree about whether the tractor would last 5 years. The controller insists that she knows of tractors that have lasted only 4 years. The treasurer agrees with the controller, but he argues that most tractors do give 5 years of service. The service manager then states that some last for as long as 8 years.
Assume that if the tractor only lasts 4 years, then the firm would receive a tax credit in Year 4 because the tractor's salvage value at that time is less than its book value. Under this scenario, the firm would not take depreciation expense…
Alcon company is considering the purchase of a new assembly that will cost around
$400,000. The same investment will reduce the company's cost by $150,000 each year.
The tax rate is 35%. What would be the effect of the above transaction on the operating
cash flows for year 2?
a. Net operating cash would increase by $202,500
b. Net operating cash would increase by $205,200
c. Net operating cash would increase by $205,200
d. Net operating cash would decrease by $202,500

- The Berndt Corporation expects to have sales of 12 million. Costs other than depreciation are expected to be 75% of sales, and depreciation is expected to be 1.5 million. All sales revenues will be collected in cash, and costs other than depreciation must be paid for during the year. Berndts federal-plus-state tax rate is 40%. Berndt has no debt. a. Set up an income statement. What is Berndts expected net income? Its expected net cash flow? b. Suppose Congress changed the tax laws so that Berndts depreciation expenses doubled. No changes in operations occurred. What would happen to reported profit and to net cash flow? c. Now suppose that Congress changed the tax laws such that, instead of doubling Berndts depreciation, it was reduced by 50%. How would profit and net cash flow be affected? d. If this were your company, would you prefer Congress to cause your depreciation expense to be doubled or halved?

- A company is deciding whether to launch a new product or not. The research and development cost incurred by the company for this new product is RO.30,000. The research suggests that the revenue of the company will increase by RO.25,000 per year for next 5 years. However, the new product will have additional operating expenses of RO.9,000 per year as well. If the corporation tax rate is 12%, what will be the net relevant cash flows for the first year of operations, if the product is launched? a. RO.(8,000) Negative b. None of the option c. RO.14,080 d.

- The value of an investment comes from its cash flows. Let’s say you are intent on receiving $45,000 per year, starting at the end of year one and continuing over 10 years. A lump sum of $380,000 invested now (year 0) will allow you to receive your desired annual amount. What interest rate is required to make this happen?arrow_forwardA project requires an initial investment of $200,000 and expects to produce a cash flow before taxes of $120,000 per year for two years (i.e., cash flows will occur at t= 1 and t= 2). The corporate tax rate is 21 percent. The assets will depreciate using the MACRS 3-year schedule: (t = 1, 33%); (t = 2: 45% ); (t = 3: 15%); ( t = 4: 7%). The company's tax situation is such that it can use all applicable tax shields. The opportunity cost of capital is 12 percent. Assume that the asset can sell for book value at the end of the project. Calculate the NPV of the project (approximately).

(Annual cash flows will be $24,000 before taxes plus the tax savings that result from $14,400 of depreciation.) The board of directors is having a heated debate about whether the tractor actually will last five years. Specifically, Joan Lamm insists that she knows of some tractors have lasted only four years. Alan Grunewald agrees with Lamm, but he argues that most tractors do provide five years of service. Judy Maese says she has known some to last for as long as eight years.
