Wonka Candy Inc. would like to buy a new machine that would automatically dip chocolates. The dipping operation is currently done largely by hand. The machine the company is considering costs $100,000. The manufacturer estimates that the machine would be usable for 12 years, but, at the end of the sixth year, would require the replacement of several key parts that would cost $10,000, including installation. After 12 years, the machine could be sold for about $7,500. The company estimates that the cost to operate the machine will be only $10,000 per year. The present method of dipping chocolates costs $31,000 per year. In addition to reducing costs, the new machine will increase production by 6,000 boxes of chocolates per year. The company realizes a contribution margin of $1.50 per box. A 20% rate of return is required on all investments. Required: 1. What are the net annual cash inflows that will be provided by the new dipping machine? 2. Compute the new machine's net present value. Use the incremental cost approach, and round all dollar amounts to the nearest whole dollar.

9. Solve the following three independent scenarios: A grocery store is considering the purchase of a new refrigeration unit with an initial investment of $412,000, and the store expects a return of $100,000 in year one, $72,000 in years two and three, $65,000 in years four and five, and $38,000 in year six and beyond, what is the payback period? Payback period = ? years. Round your Payback Period (PB) answer to two decimal places (i.e. 12.34). 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. What is the accounting rate of return (ARR)? Accounting Rate of Return (ARR) = ? . Round your ARR answer, in percentage format, to two decimal places (i.e. 12.34%).

Round your answer to 2 d.p. 2. Peach Co. spends $610,000 for a new catnip sorting machine with a residual value of $0. Peach Co. expects net cash inflows of $130,000 per year for the next 12 years. Assuming a 5% discount rate, what is the machine's NPV? Round your answer to the nearest whole dollar.
5. Super-duper Inc. has recently completed test marketing of a new vanilla frozen dessert. The test marketing cost $40,000. Based on the test market results, the company feels that an immediate $100,000 investment in equipment would yield a $15,000 after-tax net cash flow each year forever, the first cash flow received one year from today. The appropriate discount rate for the dessert project is 12%. Alternatively, the company could sell the test market results to Gell-O Inc. for $50,000, yielding a profit of $50,000 - $40,000 = $10,000 on the test market expense. Of course, selling the test market results to Gell-O contractually prohibits Super-duper from producing the dessert itself. What should Super-duper do? Support your decision.
Q2. Show all calculations. Due to the ongoing COVID 19 pandemic, Clear Ltd has decided to expand its sanitation product line to include the production of disposable sterile wipes. The cost of the equipment is $1,575,000 and it will cost $425,000 to install the equipment. The company believes there will be a steady demand for sterile wipes in the coming years and so it expects this project will generate after-tax cash flows of $350,000 per year forever, with the first cash flow starting at the end of the first year. The company tax rate is 30%. Clear Ltd is currently operating at its target debt to equity ratio of 0.25. the company wishes to raise the funds for the new project by a new issue of 5-year bonds with a yield to maturity of6.25% pa (the flotation costs of the new debt would be 2.5% of the amount raised) and a new issue of ordinary shares (the flotation costs of the new share issue would be 10% of the amount raised).

11. Queen's Fabrication Shop is purchasing a new rivet machine to replace an existing one.The new machine costs RM8,000 and will require an additional cost of RM1,000 formodification. It will be depreciated using simplified straight-line depreciation over fiveyears. The new machine operates much faster than the old machine and with betterquality. Consequently, sales are expected to increase by RM2,100 per year for the nextfive years. While it is faster, it is fully automated and ill result in increased electricitycosts for the firm by RM700 per year. It will, however, save about RM850 per year in laborcOsts.
