Chapter 6, Problem 23PS
Equivalent annual cash flow Look at Problem 22 where you calculated the equivalent annual cost of producing reformulated gasoline in California. Capital investment was $400 million. Suppose this amount can be
- a. Calculate the after-tax equivalent annual cost.
- b. How much extra would retail gasoline customers have to pay to cover this equivalent annual cost? (Note: Extra income from higher retail prices would be taxed.)

A firm is considering taking a project that will produce $12 million of revenue per year. Cash expenses will be $5 million, and
depreciation expenses will be $1 million per year. If the firm takes that project, then it will reduce the cash revenues of an
existing project by $3 million. What is the free cash flow on the project, per year, if the firm uses a 40 percent marginal tax
rate?
O$2.8 million
O $2.4 million
0 $4.6 million
$3.4 million
Suppose you are considering an investment project that requires $800,000, has a six-year life, and has a salvage value of $100,000. Sales volume is projected to be 65,000 units per year. Price per unit is $63, variable cost per unit is $42, and fixed costs are $532,000 per year. The depreciation method is a five-year MACRS. The tax rate is 35% and you expect a 20% return on this investment.(a) Determine the break-even sales volume.(b) Calculate the cash flows of the base case over six years and its NPW.(c) lf the sales price per unit increases to $400, what is the required break-even volume?(d) Suppose the projections given for price, sales volume, variable costs, and fixed costs are all accurale to wi thin ± 15%. What would be the NPW figures of the best-case and worst-case scenarios?
You are evaluating a new product. You are projecting sales of $500,000 and cost of
goods sold of $300,000 from the new product in year 3. You will be depreciating a
$100,000 machine over 5 years using straight-line depreciation to a zero book value.
Your tax rate is 35%. Finally, you expect the net working capital will increase by
$10,000 in year 3. What is the free cash flow of the project for year 3?

- A cost-cutting project will decrease costs by $65,100 a year. The annual depreciation will be $15,000 and the tax rate is 40 percent. What is the operating cash flow for this projectarrow_forwardA new electronic process monitor costs $990,000. This cost could be depreciated at 30% per year (Class 10). The monitor would actually be worth $100,000 in five years. The new monitor would save $460,000 per year before taxes and operating costs. The new monitor requires us to increase net working capital by $47,200 when we buy it. Assume a tax rate of 40% and a 15% return. a. Suppose the monitor was assigned a 25% CCA rate. Calculate the new NPV. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round the final answer to 2 decimal places.
