Wooltech Industries is considering the purchase of two knitting machines. The Super X Knitter costs $25,000 and is expected to generate annual profits of $6.000 for five years. The Knitting Bee will cost $65.000 and will also generate annual profits of $10,000 but has an expected life of ten years. The salvage value of both machines at the end of their expected lifetimes is estimated at $6,000 each. If both machines meet Wooltech's needs, which machine should they purchase if their required annual compounded rate of return is 10%? What is the economic advantage, in current dollars, of the preferred machine? Multiple Choice Super X has $229.18 advantage O Super X has $2.582.93 advantage O Super X has $2.153.98 advantage Krtting Bee has $319.1 advantage Knitting Bee has $3286 advantage

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?
Caduceus Company is considering the purchase of a new piece of factory equipment that will cost $565,000 and will generate $135,000 per year for 5 years. Calculate the IRR for this piece of equipment. For further instructions on internal rate of return In Excel, see Appendix C.
The Ham and Egg Restaurant is considering an investment in a new oven that has a cost of $60,000, with annual net cash flows of $9,950 for 8 years. The required rate of return is 6%. Compute the net present value of this investment to determine whether or not you would recommend that Ham and Egg invest in this oven.
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, $72000 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?
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?
Manzer Enterprises is considering two independent investments: A new automated materials handling system that costs 900,000 and will produce net cash inflows of 300,000 at the end of each year for the next four years. A computer-aided manufacturing system that costs 775,000 and will produce labor savings of 400,000 and 500,000 at the end of the first year and second year, respectively. Manzer has a cost of capital of 8 percent. Required: 1. Calculate the IRR for the first investment and determine if it is acceptable or not. 2. Calculate the IRR of the second investment and comment on its acceptability. Use 12 percent as the first guess. 3. What if the cash flows for the first investment are 250,000 instead of 300,000?
