The Claussens are considering the purchase of a hardware store. The Claussens anticipate that the store will generate cash flows of $86,000 per year for 20 years. At the end of 20 years, they intend to sell the store for an estimated $560,000. The Claussens will finance the investment with a variable rate mortgage. Interest rates will increase twice during the 20-year life of the mortgage. Accordingly, the Claussens' desired rate of return on this investment varies as follows: Years 1-5 8% 10% Years 6-10 Years 11-20 12%

REPLACEMENT CHAIN The Lesseig Company has an opportunity to invest in one of two mutually exclusive machines that will produce a product the company will need for the next 8 years. Machine A costs 8.9 million but will provide after-tax inflows of 4.5 million per year for 4 years. If Machine A were replaced, its cost would be 9.8 million due to inflation and its cash inflows would increase to 4.7 million due to production efficiencies. Machine B costs 13.9 million and will provide after-tax inflows of 4.3 million per year for 8 years. If the WACC is 9%, which machine should be acquired? Explain.
MULTIPLE CHOICE A loan of P200,000 intended to finance a capital investment project, which was expected to bring in a return of 10%, was obtained by ABC Company from a bank which charges an interest of 12%.

E7.7 (LO 3, 4), AP Shruti Shrills is considering an expansion of one of its existing buildings to add more manufacturing space for its kid-friendly noisemakers. Several possible scenarios exist for future cash flows, as follows. 1. Construction costs of $500,000; steady sales and costs each year, netting to an annual operating cash inflow of $70,000; the expansion would have no salvage value at the end of its 10-year useful life (the building would be repurposed for a different product).2. Construction costs of $500,000; rising and then falling net cash flows each year for 10 years, as follows: $50,000 for the first 2 and last 2 years, $175,000 for years 3–5, and $100,000 for years 6–8.3. Construction costs of $700,000; no cash flows in year 1, $75,000 in years 2 and 3, $150,000 in year 4, $100,000 in years 5–8, and $50,000 in the last 2 years.Required 1. Calculate the simple payback period for all three scenarios.2. Assume that Shruti will only accept investments with a payback period…
H5 Printing World thinks it may need a new colour printing press. The press will cost $470,000 but will substantially reduce annual operating costs by $232,000 a year, before tax. The press has a 35% CCA rate and will be in its own asset pool. The first CCA deduction is made in year 0. The press will operate for 4 years and then be worthless. The cost of equity for Printing World is 11%, the cost of debt is 8%, and the company’s target debt-equity ratio is 1.00. The company’s tax rate is 35%. a. What is the NPV of buying the press? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest dollar.) b. The equipment manufacturer is offering to lease the press for $115,000 a year, for 4 years, payable in advance. Should Printing World accept the offer?
M7 Q4 P1 The R. Morin Construction Company needs to borrow $100,000 to help finance the cost of a new $150,000 hydraulic crane used in the firm's commercial construction business. The crane will pay for itself in one year, and the firm is considering the following alternatives for financing its purchase: Alternative A. The firm's bank has agreed to lend the $100,000 at a rate of 14 percent. Interest would be discounted, and a 15 percent compensating balance would be required. However, the compensating-balance requirement is not binding on the firm because it normally maintains a minimum demand deposit (checking account) balance of $25,000 in the bank. Alternative B. The equipment dealer has agreed to finance the equipment with a 1-year loan. The $100,000 loan requires payment of principal and interest totaling $116,300. a. Which alternative should Morin select? b. If the bank's compensating-balance requirement had necessitated idle demand…
10) Neighborhood Savings Bank is considering leasing $100,000 worth of computer equipment. A 4 year lease would require payments in advance of $22,000 per year. The bank does not currently pay income taxes and does not expect to have to pay income taxes in the foreseeable future. If the bank purchased the computer equipment, it would depreciate the equipment on a straight-line basis down to an estimated salvage value of $20,000 at the end of the 4th year. The bank's cost of secured debt is 14%, and its cost of capital is 20%. Calculate the net advantage to leasing. Years: 4 Loan amount: $100,000 Cost of Debt 14.00% Cost of Capital 20.00% Lease Payment $22,000 Salvage Value $20,000…
