- Gina Ripley, president of Dearing Company, is considering the purchase of a computer-aided manufacturing system. The annual net cash benefits and savings associated with the system are described as follows: The system will cost 9,000,000 and last 10 years. The companys cost of capital is 12 percent. Required: 1. Calculate the payback period for the system. Assume that the company has a policy of only accepting projects with a payback of five years or less. Would the system be acquired? 2. Calculate the NPV and IRR for the project. Should the system be purchasedeven if it does not meet the payback criterion? 3. The project manager reviewed the projected cash flows and pointed out that two items had been missed. First, the system would have a salvage value, net of any tax effects, of 1,000,000 at the end of 10 years. Second, the increased quality and delivery performance would allow the company to increase its market share by 20 percent. This would produce an additional annual net benefit of 300,000. Recalculate the payback period, NPV, and IRR given this new information. (For the IRR computation, initially ignore salvage value.) Does the decision change? Suppose that the salvage value is only half what is projected. Does this make a difference in the outcome? Does salvage value have any real bearing on the companys decision?An auto repair company needs a new machine that will check for defective sensors. The machine has an Initial investment of $224,000. Incremental revenues, including cost savings, are $120,000, and Incremental expenses, including depreciation, are $50,000. There is no salvage value.

- San Lucas Corporation is considering investment in robotic machinery based upon the following estimates: a. Determine the net present value of the equipment, assuming a desired rate of return of 10% and annual net cash flows of 700,000. Use the present value tables appearing in Exhibits 2 and 5 of this chapter. b. Determine the net present value of the equipment, assuming a desired rate of return of 10% and annual net cash flows of 500,000, 700,000, and 900,000. Use the present value tables (Exhibits 2 and 5) provided in the chapter in determining your answer. c. Determine the minimum annual net cash flow necessary to generate a positive net present value, assuming a desired rate of return of 10%. Round to the nearest dollar. d. Interpret the results of parts (a), (b), and (c).Covington Pharmacies has decided to automate its insurance claims process. Two networked computer systems are being considered. The systems have an expected life of two years. The net cash flows associated with the systems are as follows. The cash benefits represent the savings created by switching from a manual to an automated system. The companys cost of capital is 10 percent. Required: 1. Compute the NPV and the IRR for each investment. 2. Show that the project with the larger NPV is the correct choice for the company.Dauten is offered a replacement machine which has a cost of 8,000, an estimated useful life of 6 years, and an estimated salvage value of 800. The replacement machine is eligible for 100% bonus depreciation at the time of purchase- The replacement machine would permit an output expansion, so sales would rise by 1,000 per year; even so, the new machines much greater efficiency would cause operating expenses to decline by 1,500 per year The new machine would require that inventories be increased by 2,000, but accounts payable would simultaneously increase by 500. Dautens marginal federal-plus-state tax rate is 25%, and its WACC is 11%. Should it replace the old machine?
