Problem 17-14 (Static)The project manager of a task force planning the construction of a domed stadium had hoped to be able to complete constructionprior to the start of the next college football season. After reviewing construction time estimates, it now appears that a certain amountof crashing will be needed to ensure project completion before the season opener. Given the following time and cost estimates,determine a minimum-cost crashing schedule that will shave five weeks off the project length. Note: No activity can be crashed morethan two weeks.ActivityDXNPEndImmediate PredecessorWeek 1сIBG11H, JX, M, N, PClick here for the Excel Data FileCrash schedule: (1 week each)Week 21Wook 3Normal Time (weeks).1214Week 4F1017181215.3Week 5E and PCRASHING COSTSFirst Week$15,00010,0005,00020,00016,00012,00024,00030,00025,00010,00040,00020,000Second Week$20,00010,0005,00021,00018,00015,0001,00025,00010,00020,000

Problem 9-14 Project Evaluation [LO 2] Dog Up! Franks is looking at a new sausage system with an installed cost of $735,000. This cost will be depreciated straight-line to zero over the project’s 7-year life, at the end of which the sausage system can be scrapped for $101,000. The sausage system will save the firm $215,000 per year in pretax operating costs, and the system requires an initial investment in net working capital of $67,000. If the tax rate is 21 percent and the discount rate is 8 percent, what is the NPV of this project?
Problem 11-06New-Project Analysis The Campbell Company is considering adding a robotic paint sprayer to its production line. The sprayer's base price is $1,140,000, and it would cost another $23,500 to install it. The machine falls into the MACRS 3-year class (the applicable MACRS depreciation rates are 33.33%, 44.45%, 14.81%, and 7.41%), and it would be sold after 3 years for $547,000. The machine would require an increase in net working capital (inventory) of $15,500. The sprayer would not change revenues, but it is expected to save the firm $381,000 per year in before-tax operating costs, mainly labor. Campbell's marginal tax rate is 30%.

Problem 11-12New-Project Analysis Madison Manufacturing is considering a new machine that costs $350,000 and would reduce pre-tax manufacturing costs by $110,000 annually. Madison would use the 3-year MACRS method to depreciate the machine, and management thinks the machine would have a value of $33,000 at the end of its 5-year operating life. The applicable depreciation rates are 33.33%, 44.45%, 14.81%, and 7.41%. Working capital would increase by $35,000 initially, but it would be recovered at the end of the project's 5-year life. Madison's marginal tax rate is 40%, and a 9% cost of capital is appropriate for the project. Calculate the project's NPV. Round your answer to the nearest dollar.$Calculate the project's IRR.
