4a4) New equipment costs $645,000 and is expected to last for four years with no salvage value. During this time, the company will use a 30% CCA rate. The new equipment will save $155,000 annually before taxes. If the company's required rate of return is 12%, determine the PVCCATS of the purchase. Assume the half-year rule applies and a tax rate of 33%.
46. Palau, Inc. requires all its capital investments to generate an internal rate of return of 14 percent. The company is considering an investment costing P80,000 that is expected to generate equal annual cash inflows for 5 years.

E7.7 (LO 3, 4), AP Shruti Shrills is considering an expansion of one of its existing buildings to add more manufacturing space for its kid-friendly noisemakers. Several possible scenarios exist for future cash flows, as follows. 1. Construction costs of $500,000; steady sales and costs each year, netting to an annual operating cash inflow of $70,000; the expansion would have no salvage value at the end of its 10-year useful life (the building would be repurposed for a different product).2. Construction costs of $500,000; rising and then falling net cash flows each year for 10 years, as follows: $50,000 for the first 2 and last 2 years, $175,000 for years 3–5, and $100,000 for years 6–8.3. Construction costs of $700,000; no cash flows in year 1, $75,000 in years 2 and 3, $150,000 in year 4, $100,000 in years 5–8, and $50,000 in the last 2 years.Required 1.

M7 Q4 P1 The R. Morin Construction Company needs to borrow $100,000 to help finance the cost of a new $150,000 hydraulic crane used in the firm's commercial construction business. The crane will pay for itself in one year, and the firm is considering the following alternatives for financing its purchase: Alternative A. The firm's bank has agreed to lend the $100,000 at a rate of 14 percent. Interest would be discounted, and a 15 percent compensating balance would be required. However, the compensating-balance requirement is not binding on the firm because it normally maintains a minimum demand deposit (checking account) balance of $25,000 in the bank. Alternative B. The equipment dealer has agreed to finance the equipment with a 1-year loan. The $100,000 loan requires payment of principal and interest totaling $116,300. a. Which alternative should Morin select? b. If the bank's compensating-balance requirement had necessitated idle demand…
512 Skiba Company is thinking about two different modifications to its current manufacturing process. The after-tax cash flows associated with the two investments follow: Year Project I Project II 0 $(100,000) $(100,000) 1 — 63,857 2 134,560 63,857 Skiba's cost of capital is 10%. Required: 1. Compute the NPV and the IRR for each investment. Round present value calculations and your final NPV answers to the nearest dollar. Round IRR answers to the nearest whole percent. NPV IRR Project I $fill in the blank 1 fill in the blank 2 % Project II $fill in the blank 3 fill in the blank 4 % 2. Conceptual Connection: Explain why the project with the larger NPV is the correct choice for Skiba. NPV is an absolute profitability measure and reveals how much the value of the firm will change for each project. IRR gives a measure of relative profitability . Thus, since NPV reveals the total wealth change attributable to each project, it is preferred…
V14 Steadman Company is considering an investment in a new machine for an independent five-year project. The machine’s cost is $837,500 with no salvage value at the end of five years. Net cash inflows from the project are expected to be $252,500 annually. Steadman would depreciate the machine using the MACRS schedule, and the machine qualifies as a 5-year asset. Steadman uses a discount rate of 8%, and its tax rate is 30%. Required: 1. Determine the after-tax net income and after-tax cash flows from the investment. Refer to Exhibit 12.4 for the 5-year MACRS deprecation schedule. 2. Determine the NPV of the project. 3. Determine the IRR of the project. 4. Determine the payback period of the project, assuming that cash flows occur evenly in each year. 5. Determine the book (accounting) rate of return using both (a) the initial investment as the denominator and (b) the average book value of the investment as the denominator.
H5. St. Johns River Shipyards is considering the replacement of an 8-year-old riveting machine with a new one that will increase earnings before depreciation from $24,000 to $44,000 per year. The new machine will cost $82,500, and it will have an estimated life of 8 years and no salvage value. The new riveting machine is eligible for 100% bonus depreciation at the time of purchase. The applicable corporate tax rate is 25%, and the firm's WACC is 12%. The old machine has been fully depreciated and has no salvage value. What is the NPV of the project? Negative value, if any, should be indicated by a minus sign. Round your answer to the nearest cent.
