The average car depreciates in value about 15% per year. Suppose you buy a silver Cherolet Cruze LTZ worth $26,000 (and made no down payment).
What is the value of the car if you bought it 4 years ago?
Kappa Holdings is looking at a new system with an installed cost of $740,000. This cost
will be depreciated straight-line to zero over the project's 7-year life, at the end of which
the system can be salvaged for $102,000. The system will save the firm $217,000 per
year in pretax operating costs, and the system requires an initial investment in net
working capital of $69,000, which will be returned at the end of the project.
If the tax rate is 22 percent and the discount rate is 9 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
You are evaluating two different silicon wafer milling machines. The Techron I costs
$270,000, has a 3-year life, and has pretax operating costs of $73,000 per year. The
Techron II costs $470,000, has a 5-year life, and has pretax operating costs of $46,000
per year. For both milling machines, use straight-line depreciation to zero over the
project's life and assume a salvage value of $50,000. If your tax rate is 24 percent and
your discount rate is 10 percent, compute the EAC for both machines. (A negative
answer should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations
and round your answers to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
