Filkins Fabric Company is considering the replacement of its old, fully depreciated knitting machine. Two new models are available: Machine 190-3, which has a cost of $190,000, a 3-year expected life, and after-tax cash flows (labor savings and depreciation) of $87,000 per year; and Machine 360-6, which has a cost of $360,000, a 6-year life, and after-tax cash flows of $98,300 per year. Knitting machine prices are not expected to rise because inflation will be offset by cheaper components (microprocessors) used in the machines. Assume that Filkins’ cost of capital is 14%. Should the firm replace its old knitting machine? If so, which new machine should it use? By how much would the value of the company increase if it accepted the better machine? What is the equivalent annual annuity for each machine?

TransITRI is a transportation company with a recent need of a new construction equipment at a first cost of $78,000 (Equation (1)), zero salvage value, and a cash flow before taxes (CFBT) per year t that follows Equation (2). CFBT = $30,000 – 3,000t (for t = 1, 2, … T) (1) CFBT = - $78,000 (for t =0) (2) Calculate the PW if the economic life of similar machinery is 7 years, while the MARR is 16%
Alpha Company has an opportunity to manufacture and sell a new product for a 3-year period. The company's discount rate is 12%. After careful study, Alpha estimated the following costs and revenues for the new product: Cost of equipment needed £200,000 Working capital needed 50,000 Repair of the equipment in first year $5000. Salvage value of the equipment in 3 years 15000. Annual revenues and costs: Sales revenue 500,000 Variable expenses 250,000 Fixed out-of-pocket operating costs 50,000 When the project concludes in 3r years the working capital will be released for investment elsewhere within the company. What is the NPV of the project?
Due to equipment power failure of Ceramics Plant, a disbursement a day would be$3,500. To avoid future power failures, it is recommended to purchase a standby machinefor $30,000 which is estimated to have a useful life of 14 years, $7,000 salvage value atthe end of this time. Previous records illustrate normal power failure of 4 days each year.Annual maintenance and operation would cost $3,200 for 4 days. Minimum required rateof return is 17%. Will you recommend purchasing the standby machine?
An automobile manufacturer plans to spend $1 billion to improve the quality of a new model. The manufacturer expects the quality-improvement program to eliminate the need for recall and reduce the costs forother warranty repairs. The firm’s experience had been, on average, 1.5 recalls for each new model at acost of $300 per vehicle per recall. The average cost per recall, if one is needed, is expected to increase by10% for the new model. Costs for other warranty repairs are expected to decrease from $200 to $80 per unitsold. Sales of the new model were expected to be 500,000 units without the quality-improvement program.The company believes that the well-publicized quality-improvement program will increase total sales to650,000 units. If there is a profit of $5,000 per unit on any incremental sales attributable to the qualityimprovement program, is the $1 billion expenditure justified?
An automobile-manufacturing company isconsidering purchasing an industrial robot to do spotwelding, which is currently done by skilled labor.The initial cost of the robot is $210,000, and theannual labor savings are projected to be $150,000.If purchased, the robot will be depreciated underMACRS as a five-year recovery property. The robotwill be used for seven years, at the end of which time,the firm expects to sell it for $60,000. The company’s marginal tax rate is 35% over the project period.Determine the net after-tax cash flows for each periodover the project life. Assume MARR = 15%
A company manager is considering purchasing a truck for transport and distribution of the company’s goods. The truck has an estimated service life of 18 years and its initial purchasing value is $ 60000. The annual earnings from the transport and the distribution of the goods are expected to change within the service life of the truck. That’s, at the end of the 1st, 7th and 14th years, each annual revenue will be $ 12000 and at the end of the other years, each annual revenue has again equal value but their values are different from $ 12000. Compute the unknown annual revenues to reach equilibrium on the cash flow series over the service life of the truck. (Assume annual interest rate of 8%).
