Presto Pizza is considering replacing one of its pizza ovens with a new model that would increase capacity and reduce operating costs compared to the old ovens. The new oven costs $50,000 today (at t
= 0) and can be sold in 5 years for $10,000 (at t
= 5). The old oven can be sold today for $5,000 and has a zero ($0) residual salvage in 5 years. Independent Consultants estimate that Presto Pizza’s annual sales less operating expenses (
not including
taxes, depreciation, or adjustments for net working capital) will increase from currently $50,000/year to $75,000/year (at t
= 1 to t
= 5). They also estimate that net working capital will increase by $10,000 today (at t
= 0) to meet increased sales and will be recaptured completely at the end of year 5 (at t
= 5). The pizza oven belongs to asset class 43 with a CCA rate of 30%. Assume that Presto Pizza has a required rate of return of 10% and a corporate tax rate of 40%. 1

a)
The NPV of the project would not change.
b)
The NPV would increase because of higher CCA tax shields.
c)
The NPV would decline because of greater annual CCA deductions.
d)
The NPV would decline because of lower CCA tax shields.
e)
The NPV would increase because the initial investment would be lower. 7
Questions
Suppose the new pizza oven will be installed in a vacant storage room that is owned by Presto Pizza but currently not used by Presto Pizza. The storage room could be rented out to the neighboring coffee shop Dark Roast for five years for a total pre-tax lease payment of $25,000 due in one year (at t
= 1). How much would the NPV of the project change based on this new information?
a)
-$15,000
b)
-$22,727

DeYoung Entertainment Enterprises is considering replacing the latex molding machine it uses to fabricate rubber chickens with a newer, more efficient model. The current machine has a book value of $600,000 and is being depreciated by $120,000 per year over its remaining useful life of 5 years. The
current machine would be worn out and worthless in 5 years, but DeYoung can sell it now to a Halloween mask manufacturer for $180,000. If DeYoung doesn't replace the current machine, it will have no salvage value at the end of its useful life.
The new machine has a purchase price of $825,000, an estimated useful life and MACRS class life of 5 years, and an estimated salvage value of $105,000. The applicable depreciation rates are 20.00%, 32.00%, 19.20%, 11.52%, 11.52%, and 5.76%. Being highly efficient, it is expected to economize on
electric power usage, labor, and repair costs, and, most importantly, to reduce the number of defective chickens. In total, an annual savings of $185,000 will…

Difend Cleaners has been considering the purchase of an industrial dry-cleaning machine. The existing machine is operable for three more years and will have a zero disposal price. If the machine is disposed now, it may be sold for $170,000. The new machine will cost $360,000 and an additional cash investment in working capital of $170,000 will be required. The new machine will reduce the average amount of time required to wash clothing and will decrease labor costs. The investment is expected to net $130,000 in additional cash inflows during the first year of acquisition and $290,000 each additional year of use. The new machine has a three-year life, and zero disposal value. These cash flows will generally occur throughout the year and are recognized at the end of each year. Income taxes are not considered in this problem. The working capital investment will not be recovered at the end of the asset's life.

Dell is considering replacing one of its material handling systems. It has an annual O&M cost of $48,000, a remaining operational life of 8 years, and an estimated salvage value of $6,000 at that time. A new system can be purchased for $175,000. It will be worth $50,000 in 8 years, and it will have annual O&M costs of only $17,000 per year due to new technology. If the new system is purchased, the old system will be traded in for $55,000, even though the old system can be sold for only $45,000 on the open market. Leasing a new system will cost $31,000 per year, payable at the beginning of the year, plus operating costs of $15,000 per year payable at the end of the year. If the new system is leased, the existing material handling system will be sold for its market value of $45,000. Use a planning horizon of 8 years, an annual worth analysis, and MARR of 15% to decide which material handling system to recommend: (i) keep existing, (ii) trade in existing and purchase new, or (iii)…

A small company that manufactures vibration isolation platforms is trying to decide whether it should immediately upgrade the current assemblysystem D, which is rather labor-intensive, with the more highly automated system C one year from now. Some components of the current system canbe sold now for $9000, but they will be worthless hereafter. The operating cost of the existing system is $192,000 per year. System C will cost $320,000 with a $50,000 salvage value after four years. Its operating cost will be $68,000 per year. If you are told to do a replacement analysis using an interest rate of 10% per year, which system do you recommend?

The old machine is being depreciated by $90,000 per year for each year of its remaining life. If DeYoung doesn't replace the old machine, it will have no salvage value at the end of its useful life. The new machine has a purchase price of $775,000, an estimated useful life and MACRS class life of 5 years, and an estimated salvage value of $105,000. The applicable depreciation rates are 20.00%, 32.00%, 19.20%, 11.52%, 11.52%, and 5.76%. Being highly efficient, it is expected to economize on electric power usage, labor, and repair costs, and, most importantly, to reduce the number of defective chickens.

- Ivanhoe 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 $57,186. Because of the increased capacity, reduced maintenancecosts, and increased fuel economy, the new truck is expected to generate cost savings of $8,100. At the end of eight years, thecompany will sell the truck for an estimated $27,500. Traditionally, the company has used a general rule that it should not accept aproposal unless it has a payback period that is less than 50% of the asset's estimated useful life.

Some components of the current system canbe sold now for $9000, but they will be worthless hereafter. The operating cost of the existing system is $192,000 per year. System C will cost $320,000 with a $50,000 salvage value after four years. Its operating cost will be $68,000 per year.
