Free cash flows of the project for next five years can be calculated by adding depreciation values and subtracting changes in working capital from net income. In 2010, there will be a cash outflow of $2.2 million as capital expenditure. In 2011, there will be an additional one time cash outflow of $300,000 as an advertising expense. Using net free cash flow values for next five years and discount rate for discounting, NPV for the project comes out to be $2907, 100. The rate of return at which net present value becomes zero i.e.

Keep using the old machine incurs higher cost(higher EAA) than replacing it with the new one. Therefore assuming sales are equal for both cases, when sales is smaller than 328338.07 and greater than 434036.67, Fonderia di Torino S.p.A should definitely replace the old machine with the new automated machine.

In April of 1979, a U.S. court finds the Beatle 's former manager _________ guilty of tax evasion and he is sentenced to serve two months of a two-year sentence in prison.

a) In the first set of calculations, the staff used a discount rate of 20%, a five-year time horizon, and ignored taxes and terminal value. What is the relative attractiveness of these three alternatives?

2) For year 1 the new system depreciated by 20 percent. Multiply that by the net initial investment and you get the total amount depreciated after 1 year, equal to $60,588. With a 36 percent tax rate you get the depreciated tax savings of $21,812.

Discuss filing requirement? - Filing requirements are specified by law for each type of taxpayer. In addition, all corporation must file a tax return annually regardless of their taxable income. Therefore, estates and trusts are required to file annual income tax returns if their gross income exceeds $600. In the filing requirements for individual taxpayers are a little more complex as they depend on the taxpayer’s filing status, age and gross income. The gross income thresholds are calculated as the sum of the standard deduction, additional deduction for taxpayers age 65 or older and personal exemptions that should be applied to each respective filing status. In addition, the amounts are indexed each year for inflation. Thus, when a taxpayer is due a refund which happened to occur only when

Price of the CNC machine is $80,000. The additional assumption we need to add to assumption already given is that:

Salta Company installs a manufacturing machine in its factory at the beginning of the year at a cost of $87,000. The machine’s useful life is estimated to be 5 years, or 400,000 units of product, with a $7,000 salvage value. During its second year, the machine produces 84,500 units of product. Determine the machines’ second year depreciation under the units of production method:

Webmasters.com has developed a powerful new server that would be used for corporations’ Internet activities. It would cost $10 million at Year 0 to buy the equipment necessary to manufacture the server. The project would require net working capital at the beginning of each year in an amount equal to 10% of the year's projected sales; for example, NWC0 = 10%(Sales1). The servers would sell for $24,000 per unit, and Webmasters believes that variable costs would amount to $17,500 per unit. After Year 1, the sales price and variable costs will increase at the inflation rate of 3%. The company’s

uses budgeted fleet hours to allocate variable manufacturing overhead. The following information pertains to the company 's manufacturing overhead data:

Natalie estimates that all of her baking equipment will have a useful life of 5 years or 60 months and no salvage value. (Assume Natalie decides to record a full month’s worth of depreciation, regardless of when the equipment was obtained by the business.)

Estimated machinery life: 3 years (after which there will be zero value for the equipment and no further cost savings)

According to the company's accounting system, what is the net operating income earned by product C11B?

ML had developed a policy of selling manual machines and renting automatic machines. Manual machines did not cost much, did not require service, and could be modified to attach different fasteners inexpensively. Automatic machines were rented on an annual basis because they would have been more expensive to sell and it provided annual income to ML. However, about 700 of the rented machines were returned each year. During the time that machines were in inventory, ML would modify the machines to attach different fasteners. This was expensive with an average cost per modification of $2000. If all 700 machines were modified during a given year this would have cost $1.4 million per year. It was also industry practice to provide preventative maintenance and
