New-Project Analysis The Campbell Company is considering adding a robotic paint sprayer to its production line. The sprayer’s base price is $1,080,000, and it would cost another $22,500 to install it. The machine falls into the MACRS 3-year class, and it would be sold after 3 years for $605,000. The MACRS rates for the first 3 years are 0.3333, 0.4445, and 0.1481. The machine would require an increase in net working capital (inventory) of $15,500. The sprayer would not change revenues, but it is expected to save the firm $380,000 per year in before-tax operating costs, mainly labor. Campbell’s marginal tax rate is 35%. What is the Year-0 cash flow? What are the net operating cash flows in Years 1, 2, and 3? What is the additional Year-3 cash flow (i.e., the after-tax salvage and the return of working capital)? If the project’s cost of capital is 12%, should the machine be purchased?
Filkins Fabric Company is considering the replacement of its old, fully depreciated knitting machine. Two new models are available: Machine 190-3, which has a cost of $190,000, a 3-year expected life, and after-tax cash flows (labor savings and depreciation) of $87,000 per year; and Machine 360-6, which has a cost of $360,000, a 6-year life, and after-tax cash flows of $98,300 per year. Knitting machine prices are not expected to rise because inflation will be offset by cheaper components (microprocessors) used in the machines. Assume that Filkins’ cost of capital is 14%. Should the firm replace its old knitting machine? If so, which new machine should it use? By how much would the value of the company increase if it accepted the better machine? What is the equivalent annual annuity for each machine?
Net present value method for a service company Coast-to-Coast Inc. is considering the purchase of an additional delivery vehicle for 70,000 on January 1, 20Y1. The truck is expected to have a five-year life with an expected residual value of 15,000 at the end of five years. The expected additional revenues from the added delivery capacity are anticipated to be 65,000 per year for each of the next five years. A driver will cost 40,000 in 20Y1, with an expected annual salary increase of 2,000 for each year thereafter. The annual operating costs for the truck are estimated to be 6,000 per year. a. Determine the expected annual net cash flows from the delivery truck investment for 20Y120Y5. b. Compute the net present value of the investment, assuming that the minimum desired rate of return is 12%. Use the present value table appearing in Exhibit 2 of this chapter. c. Is the additional truck a good investment based on your analysis? Explain.
REPLACEMENT ANALYSIS St. Johns River Shipyards is considering the replacement of an 8-year-old riveting machine with a new one that will increase earnings from 24,000 to 46,000 per year. The new machine will cost 80,000, and it will have an estimated life of 8 years and no salvage value. The new riveting machine is eligible for 100% bonus depreciation at the time of purchase. The applicable corporate tax rate is 25%, and the firms WACC is 10%. The old machine has been fully depreciated and has no salvage value. Should the old riveting machine be replaced by the new one? Explain your answer.
Average rate of returncost savings Maui Fabricators Inc. is considering an investment in equipment that will replace direct labor. The equipment has a cost of 125,000 with a 15,000 residual value and an eight-year life. The equipment will replace one employee who has an average wage of 28,000 per year. In addition, the equipment will have operating and energy costs of 5,150 per year. Determine the average rate of return on the equipment, giving effect to straight-line depreciation on the investment.
Gardner Denver Company is considering the purchase of a new piece of factory equipment that will cost $420,000 and will generate $95,000 per year for 5 years. Calculate the IRR for this piece of equipment. For further Instructions on internal rate of return in Excel, see Appendix C.
Factor Company is planning to add a new product to its line. To manufacture this product, the company needs to buy a new machine at a $491,000 cost with an expected four-year life and a $20,000 salvage value. Additional annual information for this new product line follows. (PV of $1, FV of $1, PVA of $1, and FVA of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.)

Previous attempt to ask only received partial correct answers: New-Project Analysis The Campbell Company is considering adding a robotic paint sprayer to its production line. The sprayer's base price is $1,030,000, and it would cost another $18,500 to install it. The machine falls into the MACRS 3-year class, and it would be sold after 3 years for $537,000.

Question The production department of Y Company is planning to purchase a new machine to improve product quality. The company’s management accountant is currently evaluating two options- Buy the machine OR Rent it. Following information is available: The company has to pay £3,200 to set up the machine. Insurance cost £450 per annum. If it is bought, the new machine is depreciated on reducing balance basis at the rate of 25%. After various calculations, the company has to pay £4,200 maintenance cost every year and estimated repair cost would be £300 per year. The firm will have to sell old machines, which had cost £65,000 six years ago. Apart from the above information, the £500 of delivery cost is incurred for this purchase option. If it is rented, £ 4,650 per year to pay as rent. There is no cost for repair and maintenance. However, the firm is required to pay the administration charge of £650 with this rent option. For rent option, the delivery cost remains at 20% of the £ 500…
Alpha Company has an opportunity to manufacture and sell a new product for a 3-year period. The company's discount rate is 12%. After careful study, Alpha estimated the following costs and revenues for the new product: Cost of equipment needed £200,000 Working capital needed 50,000 Repair of the equipment in first year $5000. Salvage value of the equipment in 3 years 15000. Annual revenues and costs: Sales revenue 500,000 Variable expenses 250,000 Fixed out-of-pocket operating costs 50,000 When the project concludes in 3r years the working capital will be released for investment elsewhere within the company. What is the NPV of the project?
A company with a MARR of 15% must install one of two production machines, X or Y. Machine X has an initial cost of $40,000 with an annual operating and maintenance (O&M) cost of $30,000 and a salvage value of $5,000 after its 5-year life. It will generate an annual benefit of $150,000. Machine Y’s benefits and costs differ from machine X’s. Hint: NPW = PW (benefits) − PW (costs) Group of answer choices NPW = [$150,000(P/A, 15%, 5)] + [$40,000 + $30,000(P/A, 15%, 5) + $5,000(P/F, 15%, 5)] NPW = [$150,000(P/A, 15%, 5)] − [$40,000 + $30,000(P/A, 15%, 5) − $5,000(P/F, 15%, 5)] NPW = [$150,000(P/A, 15%, 5)] − [$40,000 + $30,000(P/A, 15%, 5) + $5,000(P/F, 15%, 5)] NPW = [$150,000(P/A, 15%, 5)] − [$40,000 − $30,000(P/A, 15%, 5) + $5,000(P/F, 15%, 5)]
