Metal Recycling and Salvage receives the opportunity to salvage scrap metal and other materials from an old industrial site. The current owners of the site will sign over the site to Enviro at no cost. Enviro intends to extract scrap metal at the site for 24 months and then will clean up the site, return the land to useable condition, and sell it to a developer. Projected costs associated with the project follow:

Alfred Home Construction is considering the purchase of five dumpsters and the transport truck to store and transfer construction
debris from building sites. The entire rig is estimated to have an initial cost of $145,000, a life of 8 years, a $13500 salvage value, an
operating cost of $40 per day, and an annual maintenance cost of $11000. Alternatively, Alfred can obtain the same services from the
city as needed at each construction site for an initial delivery cost of $125 per dumpster per site and a daily charge of $26 per day per
dumpster. An estimated 26 construction sites will need debris storage throughout the average year. If the minimum attractive fate of
return is 10% per year, how many days per year must the equipment be required to justify its purchase?

Alfred Home Construction is considering the purchase of five dumpsters and the transport truck to store and transfer construction debris from building sites. The entire rig is estimated to have an initial cost of $125,000, a life of 8 years, a $5000 salvage value, an operating cost of $40 per day, and an annual maintenance cost of $2000. Alternatively, Alfred can obtain the same services from the city as needed at each construction site for an initial delivery cost of $125 per dumpster per site and a daily charge of $20 per day per dumpster. An estimated 45 construction sites will need debris storage throughout the average year. If the minimum attractive rate of return is 12% per year, how many days per year must the equipment be required to justify its purchase?

- Austins cell phone manufacturer wants to upgrade their product mix to encompass an exciting new feature on their cell phone. This would require a new high-tech machine. You are excited about his new project and are recommending the purchase to your board of directors. Here is the information you have compiled in order to complete this recommendation: According to the information, the project will last 10 years and require an initial investment of $800,000, depreciated with straight-line over the life of the project until the final value is zero. The firms tax rate is 30% and the required rate of return is 12%. You believe that the variable cost and sales volume may be as much as 10% higher or lower than the initial estimate. Your boss understands the risks but asks you to explain the alternatives in a brief memo to the board, Write a memo to the Board of Directors objectively weighing out the pros and cons of this project and make your recommendation(s).arrow_forwardAn auto-part manufacturing company is considering the purchase of an industrial robot to do spot welding, which is currently done by skilled labor. The initial cost of the robot is $250,000, and the annual labor savings are projected to be $125,000. If purchased, the robot will be depreciated under MACRS as a seven-year recovery property. This robot will be used for five years after which the firm expects to sell it for $50,000. The company's marginal tax rate is 35% over the project period.(a) Determine the net after-tax cash flows for each period over the project life.(b) Is this a good investment at MARR of 15%?arrow_forwardRework the below problem using the opportunity-cost approach. Adams Corporation is considering the purchase of equipment employing advanced technology to lower production costs in a product line. At the end of the third year, management will close down the line and liquidate the remaining assets. The project will require an investment of $500,000 in plant upgrade and equipment and an additional $30,000 in working capital, which will be recovered in full at the end of year 3.Over its three-year useful life, the new equipment will reduce labor and rawmaterials usage sufficiently to cut operating costs from $9,000,000 to $8,850,000. It is estimated that the new equipment can be sold for $150,000 at the end of year 3. If the new equipment were purchased, the old machine would be sold to another company for $170,000 rather than be traded in for the new equipment. If the old equipment is kept for three more years, the salvage value would be reduced to $70,000.Adams management uses 10% to…arrow_forward

This project requires an initial investment of $12.2 million that will be depreciated straight-line to zero over the project's life. An initial investment in net working capital of $545,000 is required to support spare parts inventory; this cost is fully recoverable whenever the project ends. The company believes it can generate $10.1 million in pretax revenues with $3.5 million in total pretax operating costs. The tax rate is 22 percent and the discount rate is 10 percent.

The machine being used for the operation has a current book value of $80,000, with an annual depreciation expense of $8,000. It has a resale value today of $40,000, is in good working order, and will last, physically, for at least 10 more years. The proposed machine will perform the operation so much more efficiently that Baltic engineers estimate that labor, material, and other direct costs of the operation will be reduced $60,000 a year if it is installed. The proposed machine costs $240,000 delivered and installed, and its economic life is estimated at 10 years, with zero salvage value. The company expects to earn 14 percent on its investment after taxes (14 percent is the firm's cost of capital). The tax rate is 22 percent, and the firm uses straight-line depreciation. Any gain or loss on the sale of the machine at retirement is subject to tax at 40 percent. Would it be better…arrow_forward
