Sub-Prime Loan Company is thinking of opening a new office, and the key data are shown below. The company owns the building that would be used, and it could sell it for $100,000 after taxes if it decides not to open the new office. The equipment for the project would be depreciated by the straight-line method over the project's 3-year life, after which it would be worth nothing and thus it would have a zero salvage value. No change in net operating working capital would be required, and revenues and other operating costs would be constant over the project's 3-year life. What is the project's NPV? (Hint: Cash flows are constant in Years 1-3.) Do not round the intermediate calculations and round the final answer to the nearest whole number.

The Sumitomo Chemical Corporation is considering replacing a 5-year-old machine that originally cost $50,000 and can be sold for $60,000. This machine is totally depreciated. The replacement machine would cost $125,000 and have a 5-year expected life over which it would be depreciated down using the straight-line method and have no salvage value at the end of five years. The new machine would produce savings before depreciation and taxes of $45,000 per year. Assuming a 34 percent marginal tax rate and a required return of 10%, calculate The internal rate of return and the net present value. Please show work in Excel.

Green Company can purchase a new machine for $100,000. The new machine will have a five-year life with no salvage value. The machine should reduce labor costs by $22,000 per year. Green Company would have to scrap its existing machine, receiving no cash. The existing machine has a book value of $15,000. Should Green purchase the new machine?       Yes, as the decreased labor costs are greater than the cost of the new machine.   No, as the decreased labor costs are less than the cost of the new machine plus the book value of the existing machine.   No, as the decreased labor costs are less than the cost of the new machine.   Yes, as the decreased labor costs are greater than the cost of the new machine plus the book value of the existing machine.

Denny Corporation is considering replacing a technologically obsolete machine with a new state-of-the-art numerically controlled machine. The new machine would cost $290,000 and have a tenericals controll nortunately, the new machine would have no salvage value. The new machine would cost $48,000 per year to operate and maintain but would save $89,000 per year in labor and other costs. The old machine can be sold now for scrap for $29,000. The simple rate of return on the new machine is closest to (Ignore income taxes.):

note: can you help me answer the question for a, b and c?Muthusamy Curry Mills (MCM) is considering the purchase of a new milling equipment to replace an existing one that has a book value of $3,000 and can be sold for $1,500. The old machine is being depreciated on a straight-line basis and its estimated salvage value 3 years from now is zero. The new machine will reduce costs (before taxes) by $7,000 per year.  It has a 3-year life; with an installed cost of $14,000; and it can be sold for an expected $2,000 at the end of the third year. The new machine would be depreciated over its 3-year life using the MACRS method. The applicable depreciation rates are as follows: Year 1:  33% Year 2:  45% Year 3:  15% Year 4:    7% Assume a 40% tax rate and a cost of capital of 16%. a. The initial investment associated with the replacement of the old milling equipment by the new one is? b. The incremental operating cash flows associated with the proposed replacement in Year 1 is? c. The…

Thomson Media is considering some replacing its equipment. The new equipment will reduce the operating costs by $40,000 every year. It requires initial costs of $80,000 and installation fees of $30,000. The new equipment has a 4-year tax life and would be fully depreciated by the straight-line method, but it would have a salvage value of $25,000 at the end of Year 4, when the project would be closed down. Also, some new working capital of $20,000 would be required, but it would be recovered at the end of the project's life. The old equipment has salvage value of $50,000 today and $18,000 in 4 years. Its book value is $36,000 and gets depreciated by $9,000 every year. The tax rate is 30%, and WACC is 9%. What is the project's NPV?

Jones Car Wash is considering a new project whose data are shown below. The equipment that would be used has a 3-year tax life, would be depreciated by the straight line method over the project's 3 year life, and would have zero salvage value. No new working capital would be required. Revenues and other operating costs are expected to be constant over the project's 3-year life. If the number of cars washed declined by 50% from the expected level, by how much would the project's NPV change? (Hint: Cash flows are constant in Years 1-3.) WACC 10% Net equipment cost (depreciable Annual depreciation Number of cars washed Average price per car Operating costs excl. depr'n Tax rate (A) -$74,781 (B) -$78,385 -$82,578 (D) -$85,713 E -$56,576 basis) $20,000 35% $60,000 2,800 $25 $25,000

Tyrell Corp. is considering replacing a machine.  The old one is currently being depreciated at $70,000 per year (straight-line), and is scheduled to end in five years with no remaining book value.  If you don’t replace it, you will be lucky to get it removed for the amount you could salvage it for, so you don’t expect any profit in five years. If you replace the old machine now, you believe you can salvage it for $375,000 and buy a new machine for $850,000, plus $25,000 shipping fee and another $25,000 for installation.  The new machine will not change the revenue or NOWC, but it will reduce the operating costs of the company by $145,000 per year. The new machine will be depreciated using the three-year MACRS schedule (the table is provided on the Moodle for your convenience). The useful life of this machine is five years, and it is expected that the machine can be sold at $20,000 at the end of the five years. Assume a tax rate of 25% and the cost of capital for the company is 8%.…
