Research & Development. Edwards Corporation purchases a building for $2,000,000 which is to be used to create prototype for a new type hydrogen bomb. Once the prototype is completed, the building will have to be burned down because of high radiation levels. During the period of bomb construction, the salaries of Edwards Corporation's scientists are billable to the Philippine government on a cost-plus-profit basis. The total billed this period was $100,000. How much is the R& D expense for the period?

Golden Flights, Inc. is considering buying some specialized machinery which would enable the company to obtain a six-year government contract for the design and engineering of a futuristic plane. The machinery costs $900,000 and must be destroyed for security reasons at the end of the six-year contract period. The estimated annual operating results of the project are as follows: Revenues from sales under the contract = $850,000Expenses (including annual depreciation of $150,000) = $650,000 All revenue from the contract and all expenses (except depreciation) will be received or paid in cash in the same period as recognized for accounting purposes. Compute the net present value of the investment in this machinery, discounted at an annual rate of 12%.
e. Unrelated to the new product, Cory is analyzing two mutually exclusive machines thatwill upgrade its manufacturing plant. These machines are considered average-riskprojects, so management will evaluate them at the firm’s 10% WACC. Machine Xhas a life of 4 years, while Machine Y has a life of 2 years. The cost of each machineis $60,000; however, Machine X provides after-tax cash flows of $25,000 per year for4 years and Machine Y provides after-tax cash flows of $42,000 per year for 2 years. Themanufacturing plant is very successful, so the machines will be repurchased at the endof each machine’s useful life. In other words, the machines are “repeatable” projects.1. Using the replacement chain method, what is the NPV of the better machine?2. Using the EAA method, what is the EAA of the better machine?
ACME Corporation distributes agricultural equipment. The board of directors is considering a proposal to establish a facility to manufacture an electronically controlled "intelligent" crop sprayer invented by a professor at a local university. This crop-sprayer project would require an investment of $10 million in assets and would produce an annual after-tax net benefit of $1.8 million over a service life of eight years. All costs and benefits are included in these figures. When the project terminates, the net proceeds from the sale of the assets would be $1 million (as shown). Compute the rate of return of this project.
Blaylock Company wants to buy a numerically controlled (NC) machine to be used in producing specially machined parts for manufacturers of trenching machines. The outlay required is $598,122. The NC equipment will last five years with no expected salvage value.

Nguyen, Inc., is considering the purchase of a new computer system (ICX) for $130,000. The system will require an additional $30,000 for installation. If the new computer is purchased, it will replace an old system that has been fully depreciated. The new system will be depreciated under the MACRS rules applicable to 7-year class assets. If the ICX is purchased, the old system will be sold for $20,000. The ICX system, which has a useful life of 10 years, is expected to increase revenues by $32,000 per year over its useful life. Operating costs are expected to decrease by $2,000 per year over the life of the system. The firm is taxed at a 40 percent marginal rate.a. What net investment is required to acquire the ICX system and replace the old system?b. Compute the annual net cash flows associated with the purchase of the ICX system.

Giangelo Corporation would like to venture in manufacturing a specialized tool that is required by a semi-conductor company. In order to accomplish this, it is considering two options that both require raising large amount of funds. First option (Project X) is the construction of a factory building and acquisition of machineries for an estimated cost of P30 million. The other alternative (Project Y) is the acquisition of an existing company that manufactures the same tool at a price of P50 million. In order to fund the project, the Company will have to apply for a loan from a bank and issue shares of stocks. The management contemplated a more leveraged approach by availing the 70% of the financial requirements through loan borrowing and the rest from the issuance of shares. The interest on bank loan is at 11% per annum while the issuance of shares will require return to stockholders at 8% per annum. The applicable income tax rate is 25%. Both of the projects will have estimated life of…
Coyote Co. is building a waste landfill in the desert between Arizona and California. Coyote estimates that this landfill will be in operation for five years, will cost $250 million to build, and will generate $800 million in revenues during its useful life. Federal law requires that Coyote decommission and decontaminate the site at the end of its useful life. A team of engineers has studied the decontamination procedure and has estimated that Coyote will have to spend $15 million on the decommissioning process when the landfill is shut down in five years. Coyote’s credit-adjusted rate of interest is 10%. Use tables (PV of 1, PVAD of 1, and PVOA of 1) (Use the appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.) Required: 1-a. Prepare the entry required for the recognition of any ARO asset and liability. 1-b. Prepare an amortization table.
