- 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?Cori's Meats is looking at a new sausage system with an installed cost of $495,000. This cost will be depreciated straight-line to zero over the project’s five-year life, at the end of which the sausage system can be scrapped for $73,000. The sausage system will save the firm $175,000 per year in pretax operating costs, and the system requires an initial investment in net working capital of $32,000. If the tax rate is 23 percent and the discount rate is 10 percent, what is the NPV of this project?A California utility firm is considering building a 50-megawatt geothermalplant that generates electricity from naturally occurring underground heal. The binary geothermal system will cost $85 million to build and $6 million (including any income-tax effect) to operate per year. (Unlike a conventional fossil fuel plant, this system will require virtually no fuel costs.) The geothermal plant is to last 25 years. At the end of that time, the expected salvage value will be about the same as the cost to remove the plant. The plant will be in operation for 70% (the plant-utilization factor) of the year (or 70% of 8,760 hours per year). If the firm's MARR is 14% per year, determine the cost of generating electricity per kilowatt-hour.

Barbara estimates that annual receipts from rentals will be $55,000 and that annual disbursements. other than income taxes, will be about $18,000. The property is expected to appreciate at the annual rate of 5%. Barbara expects to retain the property for 20 years once it is acquired. Then it will be depreciated on the basis of the 39-year real-property class (MACRS), assuming that the property would be placed in service on January 1. Barbara's marginal tax rate is 30%, and her MARR is 10%. What would be the minimum annual total of rental receipts that would make the investment break even?Omar Shipping Company bought a tugboat for $75,000 (year 0) and expected to use it for five years after which it will be sold for $12,000. Suppose the company estimates the following revenues and expenses from the tugboat investment for the first operating year: If the company pays taxes at the rate of 30% on its taxable income, what is the net income during the first year?

Its salvage value after 10 years is P20,000. AS a percentage of initial cost, what is the straight-line depreciation rate of the equipment? A. 8% B. 6% C. 9% D. 5%SGS Golf Academy is evaluating different golf practice equipment. The "Dimple-Max" equipment costs $149,000, has a 4-year life, and costs $9,300 per year to operate. The relevant discount rate is 14 percent. Assume that the straight-line depreciation method is used and that the equipment is fully depreciated to zero. Furthermore, assume the equipment has a salvage value of $21,500 at the end of the project’s life. The relevant tax rate is 22 percent. All cash flows occur at the end of the year. What is the EAC of this equipment? Note: Your answer should be a negative value and indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.
- Certain new machinery used in manufacturing of motor vehicles, when placed in service, is estimated to cost $275,000. It is expected to reduce net annual operating expenses by $56,000 per year for 10 years and to have a $41,000 MV at the end of the 10th year. Assume that the firm is in the federal taxable income bracket of $335,000 to $10,000,000 and that the state income tax rate is 7.5%. State income taxes are deductible from federal taxable income.
