Problem 9-16 Project Evaluation (LO2) Blooper Industries must replace its magnoosium purification system. Quick & Dirty Systems sells a relatively cheap purification system for $20 million. The system will last 4 years. Do-It-Right sells a sturdier but more expensive system for $21 million, it will last for 6 years. Both systems entail $2 million in operating costs; both will be depreciated straight-line to a final value of zero over their useful lives; neither will have any salvage value at the end of its life. The firm's tax rate is 30%, and the discount rate is 13%. a. What is the equivalent annual cost of investing in the cheap system? Note: Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a positive value. Enter your answer in millions rounded to 2 decimal places. b. What is the equivalent annual cost of investing in the more expensive system?

Exercise 5 Dog Up! Franks is looking at a new sausage system with an installed cost of $445,000. 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 $53,000. The sausage system will save the firm $139,000 per year in pretax operating costs, and the system requires an initial investment in net working capital of $25,000. If the tax rate is 23 percent and the discount rate is 11 percent, what is the NPV of this project? Answer
10.3 You have been asked to evaluate the proposed acquisition of a new clinical laboratory test system. The system’s price is $50,000, and it will cost another $10,000 for transportation and installation. The system is expected to be sold after three years because the laboratory is being moved at that time. The best estimate of the system’s salvage value after three years is $20,000. The system will have no impact on volume or reimbursement (and hence revenues), but it is expected to save $20,000 per year in operating costs. The not-for-profit business’s corporate cost of capital is 10 percent, and the standard risk adjustment is 4 percentage points. What is the project’s net investment outlay at time 0? What are the project’s operating cash flows in years 1, 2, and 3? What is the terminal cash flow at the end of year 3? If the project has average risk, is it expected to be profitable? What if the project is judged to have lower-than-average risk? Higher-than average risk?
Question 9, P1-4 (book/static) Part 1 of 5 Marginal cost-benefit analysis and the goal of the firm Wendy Winter needs to determine whether the current warehouse system should be upgraded to a new system. The new system would require an initial cash outlay of $250,000. The current system could be sold for $55,000. The monetary benefit of the new system over the next five years is $325,000, while the monetary benefit of the current system over the same period is $125,000. Furthermore, it is expected that the firm's stock price will increase if the new system is implemented because it will make the firm more cost efficient and cost effective in the long run. a. Identify and describe the analysis Wendy should use to make the decision. b. Calculate the marginal benefit of the proposed new warehouse system. c. Calculate the marginal cost of the proposed new warehouse system. d. What should Wendy's recommendation to the firm be regarding the new warehouse system? Explain your recommendation.…
Exercise 14-6 (Algo) Simple Rate of Return Method [LO14-6] The management of Ballard MicroBrew is considering the purchase of an automated bottling machine for $57,000. The machine would replace an old piece of equipment that costs $15,000 per year to operate. The new machine would cost $7,000 per year to operate. The old machine currently in use is fully depreciated and could be sold now for a salvage value of $24,000. The new machine would have a useful life of 10 years with no salvage value. Required: 1. What is the annual depreciation expense associated with the new bottling machine? 2. What is the annual incremental net operating income provided by the new bottling machine? 3. What is the amount of the initial investment associated with this project that should be used for calculating the simple rate of return? 4. What is the simple rate of return on the new bottling machine? (Round your answer to 1 decimal place i.e. 0.123 should be considered as 12.3%.)
8. Analysis of a replacement project Aa Aa At times firms will need to decide if they want to continue to use their current equipment or replace the equipment with newer equipment. The company will need to do replacement analysis to determine which option is the best financial decision for the company. Johnson Co. is considering replacing an existing piece of equipment. The project involves the following: The new equipment will have a cost of $1,800,000, and it will be depreciated on a straight-line basis over a period of six years (years 1-6). • The old machine is also being depreciated on a straight-line basis. It has a book value of $200,000 (at year 0) and four more years of depreciation left ($50,000 per year). The new equipment will have a salvage value of $0 at the end of the project's life (year 6). The old machine has a current salvage value (at year 0) of $300,000. Replacing the old machine will require an investment in net working capital (NWC) of $60,000 that will be…
#34 Caspian Sea Drinks is considering the purchase of a new water filtration system produced by Rube Goldberg Machines. This new equipment, the RGM-7000, will allow Caspian Sea Drinks to expand production. It will cost $15.00 million fully installed and will be fully depreciated over a 15 year life, then removed for no cost. The RGM-7000 will result in additional revenues of $2.96 million per year and increased operating costs of $689,148.00 per year. Caspian Sea Drinks' marginal tax rate is 28.00%.
