Dog Up! Franks is looking at a new sausage system with an installed cost of $520,000.
This cost will be depreciated straight-line to zero over the project's five-year life, at the
end of which the sausage system can be scrapped for $83,000. The sausage system will
save the firm $154,000 per year in pretax operating costs, and the system requires an
initial investment in net working capital of $32,500. If the tax rate is 23 percent and the
discount rate is 11 percent, what is the NPV of this project? (Do not round intermediate
calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
NPV
DBS Builders Pte Ltd purchased an asphalt paver eight years ago for $280,000. The estimated
operation and maintenance (O&M) costs for the next three years are $56,000, $68,000, and
$82,000, respectively. The asphalt paver can be sold for $65,000 now, for $57,000 next year, for
$45,000 two years from now, and for $28,000 three years from now.
4.
The latest asphalt paver in the market costs $290,000 and has an estimated service life of five
years. The salvage value is estimated to be $50,000 after five years. The expected annual O&M
costs will be $6,000 for the first year and increase by $3,800 per year thereafter.
If a before-tax minimum attractive rate of return (MARR) of 12% is estimated, what replacement
decision should DBS Builders make?
A machine costs $600,000 and is expected to yield an after-tax net income of $23,000 each year.
Management predicts this machine has a 9-year service life and a $120,000 salvage value, and it uses
straight-line depreciation. Compute this machine's accounting rate of return.

- One year ago, your company purchased a machine used in manufacturing for $120,000. You have learned that a new machine is available that offers many advantages and that you can purchase it for $160,000 today. The CCA rate applicable to both machines is 40%; neither machine will have any long-term salvage value. You expect that the new machine will produce earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) of $40,000 per year for the next ten years. The current machine is expected to produce EBITDA of $23,000 per year. All other expenses of the two machines are identical. The market value today of the current machine is $50,000.
