The Scampini Supplies Company recently purchased a new delivery truck. The new truck cost $22,500, and it is expected to generate net after-tax operating cash flows, including depreciation, of $6,250 per year. The truck has a 5-year expected life. The expected salvage values after tax adjustments for the truck are given here. The company’s cost of capital is 10%. Should the firm operate the truck until the end of its 5-year physical life? If not, then what is its optimal economic life? Would the introduction of salvage values, in addition to operating cash flows, ever reduce the expected NPV and/or IRR of a project?
Postman Company is considering two independent projects. One project involves a new product line, and the other involves the acquisition of forklifts for the Materials Handling Department. The projected annual operating revenues and expenses are as follows: Required: Compute the after-tax cash flows of each project. The tax rate is 40 percent and includes federal and state assessments.
Utica Machinery Company purchases an asset for 1,200,000. After the machine has been used for 25,000 hours, the company expects to sell the asset for 150,000. What is the depreciation rate per hour based on activity?
Wendys boss wants to use straight-line depreciation for the new expansion project because he said it will give higher net income in earlier years and give him a larger bonus. The project will last 4 years and requires 1,700,000 of equipment. The company could use either straight line or the 3-year MACRS accelerated method. Under straight-line depreciation, the cost of the equipment would be depreciated evenly over its 4-year life. (Ignore the half-year convention for the straight-line method.) The applicable MACRS depreciation rates are 33.33%, 44.45%, 14.81%, and 7.41%, as discussed in Appendix 11A. The project cost of capital is 10%, and its tax rate is 25%. a. What would the depreciation expense be each year under each method? b. Which depreciation method would produce the higher NPV, and how much higher would it be? c. Why might Wendys boss prefer straight-line depreciation?

The Singer Division of Patio Enterprises currently earns $2.34 million and has divisional assets of $19.5 million. The division manager is considering the acquisition of a new asset that will add to profit. The investment has a cost of $3,375,000 and will have a yearly cash flow of $840,000. The asset will be depreciated using the straight-line method over a six-year life and is expected to have no salvage value. Divisional performance is measured using ROI with beginning-of-year net book values in the denominator. The company’s cost of capital is 9 percent. Ignore taxes. The division manager learns that he has the option to lease the asset on a year-to-year lease for $740,000 per year. All depreciation and other tax benefits would accrue to the lessor. Required: a. What is the division's residual income before considering the project? b. What is the division's residual income if the asset is purchased? c. What is the division's residual income if the asset is leased?
The Ste. Marie Division of Pacific Media Corporation just started operations. It purchased depreciable assets costing $54 million and having a four-year expected life, after which the assets can be salvaged for $10.8 million. In addition, the division has $54 million in assets that are not depreciable. After four years, the division will have $54 million available from these nondepreciable assets. This means that the division has invested $108 million in assets with a salvage value of $64.8 million. Annual depreciation is $10.8 million. Annual operating cash flows are $29 million. Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis, recognizing the salvage values noted. Ignore taxes. Assume that the division uses beginning-of-year asset values in the denominator for computing ROI. Required: a. & b. Compute ROI, using net book value and gross book value.
