Jason Rogers works full-time for UPS and runs a lawn-mowing service part-time after work during the warm months of April through October. Jason has two men working with him, each of whom is paid $6.00 per lawn mowing. Jason has 25 residential customers who contract with him for once-weekly lawn mowing during the months of May through September, and twice-per-month mowings during April and October. On average, Jason charges $42 per lawn mowed. Recently, LStar Property Management Services asked Jason to mow the lawn at each of its 29 rental houses every two weeks during the months of May through September. LStar has offered to pay $29 per lawn mowing, and would forego the lawn edging that normally takes Jason’s team about half of its regular mowing time. If Jason accepts the job, he can assign a one-man team to mow the rental house yards, and will have to buy an additional power lawn mower for about $370…

Check My Work
You must evaluate the purchase of a proposed spectrometer for the R&D department. The purchase price of the spectrometer including modifications is
$140,000, and the equipment will be fully depreciated at the time of purchase. The equipment would be sold after 3 years for $32,000. The equipment would
require an $8,000 increase in net operating working capital (spare parts inventory). The project would have no effect on revenues, but it should save the firm
$43,000 per year in before-tax labor costs. The firm's marginal federal-plus-state tax rate is 25%.
a. What is the initial investment outlay for the spectrometer after bonus depreciation is considered, that is, what is the Year 0 project cash flow? Enter your
answer as a positive value.…
