Problem 9-8 Calculating Project OCF [LO 2] Shue Music Company is considering the sale of a new sound board used in recording studios. The new board would sell for $23, 800, and the company expects to sell 1,550 per year. The company currently sells 1,900 units of its existing model per year. If the new model is introduced, sales of the existing model will fall to 1,570 units per year. The old board retails for $22,200. Variable costs are 56 percent of sales, depreciation on the equipment to produce the new board will be $1,575,000 per year, and fixed costs are $3,025,000 per year. If the tax rate is 25 percent, what is the annual OCF for the project? Note: Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to the nearest whole number, e.g., 32.

6.7 Project Evaluation Your firm is contemplating the purchase of a new $575,000 com-puter based order entry system. The system will be depreciated straight-line to zero over its 5-year life. It will be worth $60,000 at the end of that time. You will save $176,000 before taxes per year in order processing costs, and you will be able to reduce working capital by $80,000 (this is a one-time reduction). If the tax rate is 23 percent, what is the IRR for this project?
Hw.74. An office supply company has purchased a light duty delivery truck for $25,000. It is anticipated that the truck will increase the company’s revenue by $10,000 annually, whereas the associated operating expenses are expected to be $3,000 per year. The truck’s market value is expected to decrease at the end of the study period, equivalent to 15% of its original purchase cost. If the company plans to keep the truck for only 5 years, determine the IRR and ERR given that MARR = є = 15%
Problem 9-9 Calculating Project OCF [LO 2] Esfandairi Enterprises is considering a new three-year expansion project that requires an initial fixed asset investment of $2,950,000.

The projected additional sales revenue in year 1 is $82,000, with associated expenses of $28,500. The additional sales revenue and expenses from the advertising program are projected to increase by 10 percent each year. Allegience’s tax rate is 30 percent. (Hint: The $177,085 advertising cost is an expense.)Required:1. Compute the payback period for the advertising program.2. Calculate the advertising program’s net present value, assuming an after-tax hurdle rate of 10 percent. (Round your intermediate calculations and final answer to the nearest whole dollar.)
CH5 #10 A company is considering two alternative marketing strategies for a new product. Introducing the product will require an outlay of $15,000.

Chapter 4 Exercise Pg.170 Question 2Perform a financial analysis for a project using the format provided in Figure 4-5. Assume the projected costs and benefits for this project are spread over four years as follows: Estimated costs are $200,000 in year 1 and $30,000 each year in years 2, 3, and 4. Estimated benefits are $0 in year 1 and $100,000 each year in years 2, 3, and 4. Use a 9 percent discount rate and round the discount factors to two decimal places.

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%.)
