Average rate of returncost savings Maui Fabricators Inc. is considering an investment in equipment that will replace direct labor. The equipment has a cost of 125,000 with a 15,000 residual value and an eight-year life. The equipment will replace one employee who has an average wage of 28,000 per year. In addition, the equipment will have operating and energy costs of 5,150 per year. Determine the average rate of return on the equipment, giving effect to straight-line depreciation on the investment.
Average rate of returnnew product Hana Inc. is considering an investment in new equipment that will be used to manufacture a smart-phone. The phone is expected to generate additional annual sales of 10,000 units at 300 per unit. The equipment has a cost of 4,500,000, residual value of 500,000, and a 10-year life. The equipment can only be used to manufacture the phone. The cost to manufacture the phone follows: Determine the average rate of return on the equipment.
New-Project Analysis The Campbell Company is considering adding a robotic paint sprayer to its production line. The sprayer’s base price is $1,080,000, and it would cost another $22,500 to install it. The machine falls into the MACRS 3-year class, and it would be sold after 3 years for $605,000. The MACRS rates for the first 3 years are 0.3333, 0.4445, and 0.1481. The machine would require an increase in net working capital (inventory) of $15,500. The sprayer would not change revenues, but it is expected to save the firm $380,000 per year in before-tax operating costs, mainly labor. Campbell’s marginal tax rate is 35%. What is the Year-0 cash flow? What are the net operating cash flows in Years 1, 2, and 3? What is the additional Year-3 cash flow (i.e., the after-tax salvage and the return of working capital)? If the project’s cost of capital is 12%, should the machine be purchased?
A company is spending 70,000 per year for inspecting, 60,000 per year for purchasing, and 56,000 per year for reworking products. What is a good estimate of non-value-added costs? a. 126,000 b. 70,000 c. 56,000 d. 130,000
Net present value method for a service company Coast-to-Coast Inc. is considering the purchase of an additional delivery vehicle for 70,000 on January 1, 20Y1. The truck is expected to have a five-year life with an expected residual value of 15,000 at the end of five years. The expected additional revenues from the added delivery capacity are anticipated to be 65,000 per year for each of the next five years. A driver will cost 40,000 in 20Y1, with an expected annual salary increase of 2,000 for each year thereafter. The annual operating costs for the truck are estimated to be 6,000 per year. a. Determine the expected annual net cash flows from the delivery truck investment for 20Y120Y5. b. Compute the net present value of the investment, assuming that the minimum desired rate of return is 12%. Use the present value table appearing in Exhibit 2 of this chapter. c. Is the additional truck a good investment based on your analysis? Explain.
Suppose Francine Dunkelberg’s Sweets is considering investing in warehouse-management software that costs $550,000, has $75,000 residual value, and should lead to cost savings of $130,000 per year for its five-year life. In calculating the ARR, which of the following figures should be used as the equation’s denominator (average amount invested in the asset)? $275,000 $237,500 $625,000 $312,500
