Block Corporation is considering a project that would require an investment of $279,000 and would last for 8 years. The incremental annual revenues and expenses generated by the project during those 8 years would be as follows: Sales Variable expenses Contribution margin Fixed expenses: Salaries Rents Depreciation Total fixed expenses 224,000 22,000 202,000 25,000 38,000 33,000 96,000 106,000 Net operating income • Note - when calculating annual revenue, we don't consider costs that change based on the number of items produced.

A firm has the opportunity to invest in a project having an initial outlay of $20,000. Net cash inflows (before depreciation and taxes) are expected to be $5,000 per year for five years. The firm uses the straight-line depreciation method with a zero salvage value and has a (marginal) income tax rate of 40 percent. The firms cost of capital is 12 percent. Compute the IRR and the NPV. Should the firm accept or reject the project?

A process plant making 5000kg /day of a product selling for $1.75 per kg has annual directproduction costs of $2 million at 100 percent capacity and other fixed costs of $700,000. What isthe fixed charge per kg at the break-even point? If the selling price of the product is increased by10 percent, what is the dollar increase in net profit at full capacity if the income tax rate is 35percent of gross earnings?
Hajia Timber Ltd (GTL) produces and exports lumber and planks. It owns a plant whichhas value of GHC 1,800,000 as at 1 January 2010. The government of Ghana,passes alegislation that restricts the exportation of lumber. Consequently GTL has to reduceproduction by 40%. Cash flow forecast for the next five years included in the budgetsubmitted for management approval in January 2010 shows the following:Year Cash flows (GHC)2010 552,0002011 506,0002012 376,0002013 250,0002014 560,000The cashflow forecast for 2014 includes expected proceeds from disposal of the plant. Thecash flow projections also ignore the effects general upwards movement in prices.It is estimated that if the plant is sold in January 2010, it would realize the net proceeds ofGHC 1,320,000. The costs of capital for GBL is 15% (ignoring inflationary effect)RequiredCalculate the recoverable amount of the plant and impairment loss (if any).
Please use a financial calculator to solve. Be sure to list your steps. You are evaluating two different silicon wafer milling machines. The Techron I costs $237,000, has a three-year life, and has pretax operating costs of $62, 000 per year. The Techron II costs $ 415,000, has a five - year life, and has pretax operating costs of $ 35,000 per year. For both milling machines, use straight - line depreciation to zero over the project's life and assume a salvage value of $39, 000. If your tax rate is 21 percent and your discount rate is 8 percent, compute the EAC for both machines. (Your answer should be a negative value and indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Consider a project to supply Detroit with 27,000 tons of machine screws annually for automobile production. You will need an initial $4,600,000 investment in threading equipment to get the project started; the project will last for 5 years. The accounting department estimates that annual fixed costs will be $1,100,000 and that variable costs should be $205 per ton; accounting will depreciate the initial fixed asset investment straight-line to zero over the 5-year project life. It also estimates a salvage value of $475,000 after dismantling costs. The marketing department estimates that the automakers will let the contract at a selling price of $308 per ton. The engineering department estimates you will need an initial net working capital investment of $440,000. You require a return of 12 percent and face a tax rate of 23 percent on this project. a. Suppose you’re confident about your own projections, but you’re a little unsure about Detroit’s actual machine screw…
How do you calculate the PVIFA for the equation: EAC = NPV / Annutiy factor How would you use the financial calculator to solve for EAC and PVIFA? You are evaluating two different silicon wafer milling machines. The Techron I costs $270,000, has a three-year life, and has pre-tax operating costs of $69,000 per year. The Techron II costs $475,000, has a five-year life, and has pre-tax operating costs of $36,000 per year. Both milling machines are in Class 8 (CCA rate of 20 percent per year). Assume a salvage value of $45,000. If your tax rate is 35 percent and your discount rate is 10 percent, compute the EAC for both machines. Which do you prefer? Why?

A project capitalized for ₱40,000 invested in depreciable assets will earn a uniform, annual income of ₱23451 in 10 years. The cost for operation and maintenance total ₱9,000 a year, and annual taxes and insurance will cost 4% of the investment. The company expects its capital to earn 12% before income taxes. Determine the rate of return of the project.
A project with a life of 11 has an initial fixed asset investment of $42,000, an initial NWC investment of $4,000, and an annual OCF of -$64,000. The fixed asset is fully depreciated over the life of the project and has no salvage value.If the required return is 19 percent, what is the project's equivalent annual cost, or EAC?
