A delivery company is looking at converting their fleet of gasoline vans to electric vehicles. The all electric vans cost $75,000.00 today, minus an electric vehicle tax credit $7,500.00 and the reduced maintenance and fuel cost of $5,000. This brings today's MRC to $62,500.00 for each new electric van. The newer vans are expected to increase future MRP by $12,000.00 each year and have a productive life for five years. At the end of the fifth year, the firm expects to sell the used vans for a salvage value of $30,000.00. This firm is borrowing funds at 6% interest. The table indicates the possible investment for one electric vehicle.

It would save $5,400 per year over the present method of delivering pizzas. In addition, it would result in the sale of 1,800 more pizzas each year. The company realizes a contribution margin of $2 per pizza. Required: (Ignore income taxes.) 1. What would be the total annual cash inflows associated with the new truck for capital budgeting purposes? 2. Find the internal rate of return promised by the new truck to the nearest whole percent.A suburban taxi company is considering buying taxis with diesel engines instead of gasoline engines.

- Your company is deciding whether to purchase a durable delivery vehicle or a short-term vehicle. The durable vehicle costs $25 000 and should last five years. The short-term vehicle costs $10 000 and should last two years. If the cost of capital for the company is 15 per cent, then what is the equivalent annual cost for the best choice for the company? (Round to the nearest dollar.) $6151, short-term vehicle $5000, either vehicle $7458, long-term vehicle $5000, short-term vehicleYour company is contemplating replacing their current fleet of delivery vehicles with Nissan NV vans. You will be replacing 5 fully-depreciated vans, which you think you can sell for $4,100 apiece and which you could probably use for another 2 years if you chose not to replace them. The NV vans will cost $29,850 each in the configuration you want them, and can be depreciated using MACRS over a 5-year life. Expected yearly before-tax cash savings due to acquiring the new vans amounts to $4,800. If your cost of capital is 8 percent and your firm faces a 34 percent tax rate, what will the cash flows for this project be? (Round your answers to the nearest dollar amount.)Carla Vista Corporation is considering purchasing a new delivery truck. The truck has many advantages over the company’s current truck (not the least of which is that it runs). The new truck would cost $56,760. Because of the increased capacity, reduced maintenance costs, and increased fuel economy, the new truck is expected to generate cost savings of $8,600. At the end of 8 years, the company will sell the truck for an estimated $28,600. Traditionally the company has used a rule of thumb that a proposal should not be accepted unless it has a payback period that is less than 50% of the asset’s estimated useful life. Larry Newton, a new manager, has suggested that the company should not rely solely on the payback approach, but should also employ the net present value method when evaluating new projects. The company’s cost of capital is 8%.
- A company is trying to decide whether to buy a new delivery truck to replace their old one. The old truck originally cost $32,000. The new truck will cost $45,000. If they buy the new truck, they will sell the old truck to a used truck dealer for $4,000. Based on the information given, what is the immediate total incremental cost or benefit of buying the new truck? (Indicate a net benefit as a positive number and a net cost as a negative number.)Your company is considering the replacing an old machine with a more efficient model. The new machine costs $39,500, will last for 7 years and save $12,900 per year in expenses. The discount rate is 18% and the tax rate is 26%. The machine will be depreciated on a straight line basis to zero. The old machine is fully depreciated and can be sold today for $2,700. A) what is the amount of initial investment required? B) what is the after-tax gain on the sale of the old machine? The old machine is fully depreciated. C) what is the amount of operating cash flow (OCF) per year? D) what is the NPV of the project?3. The garden supply company is also considering taking out a loan and buying a small truck to save costs on deliveries. The truck costs $60,000 and is expected to earn end of year after tax net cash inflows of $10000, $15000, $20000 and $20000 for the next four years before it wears out sufficiently to be unreliable and must be sold for an estimated $10000 (after tax). a. Calculate the NPV of the truck if the interest rate on the loan is 5% pa. b. Calculate the NPV of the truck if the interest rate on the loan is 10% pa. c.

- This is the question that has the extra, extra five points that I added to total points. (Ignore income taxes in this problem.) Your Company has a truck that needs a new engine that would cost $35,000. This will extend the useful life of the truck by 5 years. As an alternative, Your Company could buy a brand new truck for $120,000. The new truck would also last 5 years. The annual operating expenses of the old truck are $8,500. The annual operating expenses of the new truck will only be $5,000. The old truck has a salvage value of $12,000 now and $3,500 in 5 years. The new truck is expected to have a $10,000 salvage value in 5 years. Your Company discount rate is 6%.
