The Rodriguez Company is considering an average-risk investment in a mineral water spring project that has an initial after-tax cost of 170,000. The project will produce 1,000 cases of mineral water per year indefinitely, starting at Year 1. The Year-1 sales price will be 138 per case, and the Year-1 cost per case will be 105. The firm is taxed at a rate of 25%. Both prices and costs are expected to rise after Year 1 at a rate of 6% per year due to inflation. The firm uses only equity, and it has a cost of capital of 15%. Assume that cash flows consist only of after-tax profits because the spring has an indefinite life and will not be depreciated. a. What is the present value of future cash flows? (Hint: The project is a growing perpetuity, so you must use the constant growth formula to find its NPV.) What is the NPV? b. Suppose that the company had forgotten to include future inflation. What would they have incorrectly calculated as the projects NPV?
Genesis Corporation want to purchase a piece of machinery for $150,000 that will cost $20,000 to have it delivered and installed. Based on past information, they believe they can sell the machinery for $25,000 in 5 years. The company’s marginal tax rate is 34%. If the applicable CCA rate is 20% and the required return on this project is 15%, what is the present value of the CCA tax shield?
A large and profitable company, in the 34% marginal tax bracket, is considering the purchase of a new piece of machinery that will yield benefits of $10,000 for Year 1, $15,000 for Year 2, $20,000 for Year 3, $20,000 for Year 4, and $20,000 for Year 5. The machinery is to be depreciated by using the modified accelerated cost recovery system (MACRS) with a 3-year recovery period. The MACRS percentages are 33.33, 44.45, 14.81, 8.41, respectively, for Years 1, 2, 3, and 4. The company believes the machinery can be sold at the end of 5 years of use for 25% of the original purchase price. If the company requires a 12% after-tax rate of return, what is the maximum purchase cost it can pay?
Taufel, Inc. is considering implementing a cost-cutting project. The pre-tax cost reduction is expected to be $18,000 for each of the three years of the project's life. The project has an initial cost of $40,000 and belongs in a 20% CCA class. The company has a tax rate of 32% and the discount rate for the project is 9%. The project can be sold to another company at the end of year 3 for $2,000. What is the NPV of the project? $750 $700 $675 $650 $625

Celtic Inc. is considering a 16-year project that will generate before tax cash flow of $18,000 peryear for 16 years. The project requires a machine that costs $96,000. The CCA rate is 20% andthe salvage value is $9,600. Celtic has cash of $66,000 and needs to borrow the balance at 6%interest rate to purchase the machine. Celtic is required to repay $10,000 at year 4 and theremaining balance at year 16. The corporate tax rate is 30%.If the weighted average cost of capital is 11% and the machine is the only asset in the assetclass, calculate the NPV of the project using the WACC approach.

Benton Corporation is planning to buy a machine that may add $6000 to the pre-tax earnings of the company if the economy is good (probability 65%), or only $4700 if the economy is bad (probability 35%). Benton will depreciate the machine on the straight-line basis for four years, even though it has a 15% chance that it may last for five years. The tax rate of Benton is 40%, and the proper discount rate is 12%. Find the maximum price that Benton should pay for this machine to make it a profitable investment.
Gluon Incorporated is considering the purchase of a new high pressure glueball. It can purchase the glueball for $40,000 and sell its old low-pressure glueball, which is fully depreciated, for $6,000. The new equipment has a 10-year useful life and will save $10,000 a year in expenses before tax. The opportunity cost of capital is 12%, and the firm's tax rate is 21%. What is the equivalent annual saving from the purchase if Gluon can depreciate 100% of the investment immediately. Note: Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.
The Golden Corporation is considering selling one of its old assembly machines. The machine, purchased for $30,000 3 years ago, had an expected life of 6 years and an expected salvage value of zero. Assume Evans uses simplified straight-line depreciation and could sell this machine for $8,000. Also assume Evans has a 34 percent marginal tax rate. What would be the taxes associated with this sale?
Gluon Inc. is considering the purchase of a new high pressure glueball. It can purchase the glueball for $120,000 and sell its old low-pressure glueball, which is fully depreciated, for $20,000.
