Pisa Pizza Parlor is investigating the purchase of a new $45,000 delivery truck that would contain specially designed warming racks. Thenew truck would have a six-year useful life. It would save $5,400 per year over the present method of delivering pizzas. In addition, it would result in the sale of 1,800 more pizzas each year. The company realizes a contribution margin of $2 per pizza. Required: (Ignore income taxes.) 1. What would be the total annual cash inflows associated with the new truck for capital budgeting purposes? 2. Find the internal rate of return promised by the new truck to the nearest whole percent.
K Beryl's Iced Tea currently rents a bottling machine for $53,000 per year, including all maintenance expenses. It is considering purchasing a machine instead, and is comparing two options: a. Purchase the machine it is currently renting for $155,000. This machine will require $20,000 per year in ongoing maintenance expenses. b. Purchase a new, more advanced machine for $255,000. This machine will require $17,000 per year in ongoing maintenance expenses and will lower bottling costs by $12,000 per year. Also, $36,000 will be spent upfront training the new operators of the machine. Suppose the appropriate discount rate is 9% per year and the machine is purchased today. Maintenance and bottling costs are paid at the end of each year, as is the rental of the machine. Assume also that the machines will be depreciated via the straight-line method over seven years and that they have a 10-year life with a negligible salvage value. The corporate tax rate is 30%. Should Beryl's Iced Tea…
Wendell’s Donut Shoppe is investigating the purchase of a new $40,000 donut-making machine. The new machine would permit the company to reduce the amount of part-time help needed, at a cost savings of $5,200 per year. In addition, the new machine would allow the company to produce one new style of donut, resulting in the sale of 2,000 dozen more donuts each year. The company realizes a contribution margin of $2.40 per dozen donuts sold. The new machine would have a six-year useful life. Required: 4. In addition to the data given previously, assume that the machine will have a $10,515 salvage value at the end of six years. Under these conditions, what is the internal rate of return? (Hint: You may find it helpful to use the net present value approach; find the discount rate that will cause the net present value to be closest to zero.) (Round your final answer to the nearest whole percentage.)
Charlie Corporation is considering buying a new donut maker. This machine will replace an old donut maker that still has a useful life of 6 years. The new machine will cost $3,770 a year to operate, as opposed to the old machine, which costs $4,225 per year to operate. Also, because of increased capacity, an additional 21,700 donuts a year can be produced. The company makes a contribution margin of $0.10 per donut. The old machine can be sold for $8,700 and the new machine costs $31,700. The incremental annual net cash inflows provided by the new machine would be (Ignore income taxes.): Multiple Choice O O O O $455 $2,170 $6,530 $2,625
If you buy the new machine you will be able to sell the existing machine for $6,000. The new machine will cost $10,000 for delivery and installation, on top of the purchase price. Making your product more quickly is important because you currently cannot meet the demands of your orders. You are currently selling every widget you produce. The machine will cost $100,000 today and will require annual maintenance of $5,000 each year (except for the final year), starting at the end of the first year. You expect that your machine will last for 8 years before you need to purchase the next machine. At that time, you expect you will be able to sell the machine for $7,800. You can buy the machine now and have it delivered and installed by tomorrow. You expect that you will sell 2,000 more widgets in year 1 and that this number will increase by 20% each year for the next 4 years after that before leveling off at that level of sales for the remaining years you own the machine. You can obtain more…
Wendy ice cream factory is considering the purchase of a new machine. The machine would cost $400,000 and has an estimated useful life of 10 years with a residual value of 50,000. Management estimates that the new machine will provide net annual cash flow of $60 000. Management also believes that the new machine will save the company money because it is expected to be more reliable than other machine and will reduce downtime. Assume the discount rate is 10%, how much would the reduction in downtime have to be worth, in present value dollars, in order for this investment to be acceptable? (Use Present Value Tables to help calculate your answer) Select one: а. 13,049 O b. 40,000 с. 29,000 O d. 12,049
The Sweetwater Candy Company would like to buy a new machine for $220,000 that automatically "dips" chocolates. The manufacturer estimates the machine would be usable for five years but would require replacement of several key parts costing $10,300 at the end of the third year. After five years, the machine could be sold for $6,000. The company estimates the cost to operate the machine will be $8,300 per year. The present labor-intensive method of dipping chocolates costs $43,000 per year. In addition to reducing costs, the new machine will increase production by 5,000 boxes of chocolates per year. The company realizes a contribution margin of $1.50 per box. A 15% rate of return is required on all investments. Click here to view Exhibit 14B-1 and Exhibit 14B-2, to determine the appropriate discount factor(s) using tables. Required: 1. What are the annual net cash inflows provided by the new dipping machine? 2. Compute the new machine's net present value.
