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?

Emerson Electric is considering the purchase of equipment that will allow the company to manufacture a new line of wireless devices for homeappliance control. The first cost will be $80,000, and the life is estimated at 6 years with a salvage value of $10,000. Three different salespeople have provided estimates regarding the added revenue the equipment will generate. Salespersons 1, 2, and 3 have made estimates of $10,000, $16,000, and $18,000 per year, respectively. If the company’s MARR is 8% per year, use a PWbased relation to determine if these different estimates will change the decision to purchase the equipment.
AAA Trucking, Inc. has hired you as a consultant to evaluate the proposed acquisition of a new electric autonomous driving truck for a pilot project. The truck's base price is $600,000. Due to the technical complexity of the vehicle, the company will have to pay $1,000 to train a "driver" before the truck can be put into operation. Assume the truck falls into the MACRS 5-year class. If purchased for this pilot project, the company expects to use the truck for two years and then sell it at the end of the second year. The expected market value of the truck at the end of the second year is $310,000. Use of the truck will require an increase in inventory of $4,000 and accounts payable are expected to increase by $3,000. The truck is expected to increase the firm's revenue by $145,000 per year and it is expected to increase operating expenses by $75,000 per year. Last month a consultant was paid $2,000 to do a similar analysis and recommended that the truck be purchased, the firm has hired…
Alfred Home Construction is considering the purchase of five dumpsters and the transport truck to store and transfer construction debris from building sites. The entire rig is estimated to have an initial cost of $125,000, a life of 8 years, a $5000 salvage value, an operating cost of $40 per day, and an annual maintenance cost of $2000. Alternatively, Alfred can obtain the same services from the city as needed at each construction site for an initial delivery cost of $125 per dumpster per site and a daily charge of $20 per day per dumpster. An estimated 45 construction sites will need debris storage throughout the average year. If the minimum attractive rate of return is 12% per year, how many days per year must the equipment be required to justify its purchase?
In a bio-based material recycling company, the operation managers are considering a twin-screw extruder with a price of 12,000 OMR and another 2,000 OMR will be spent for shipping and installation of the extruder. The estimated net income generated from this machine is 3,500 OMR per year. The extruder will be used for 5 years, and then it will be sold for an estimated market value of 2,500 OMR. The extruder MARCS property class is 5 years. If the effective income tax rate (t) is 40% and the after-tax MARR is 10%. (a) What is the after-tax IRR for this project? (use trial and error procedure and GDS) (b) Should this extruder be purchased by the company?
Alfred Home Construction is considering the purchase of five dumpsters and the transport truck to store and transfer construction debris from building sites.

You have been asked by the president of your company to evaluate the proposed acquisition of a spectrometer for the firm’s R&D department. The equipment’s base price is $140,000, and it would cost another $30,000 to modify it for special use by your firm. The spectrometer, which falls into the MACRS 3-year class, would be sold after 3 years for an expected salvage value of $60,000. Use of the equipment would require an increase in spare parts inventory of $8,000. The spectrometer is expected to save the firm $80,000 per year in before-tax operating costs (i.e. effectively, there is an $80,000 cash inflow each year, excluding depreciation and tax effects). The firm’s marginal tax rate is 40%, and the cost of capital is 12%. Evaluate this decision using the NPV decision criteria. Should the firm buy the spectrometer? A) Yes, the project yields an NPV of $23,684.31B) Yes, the project yields an NPV of $25,390.45C) Yes, the project yields an NPV of $24,599.59D) No, the project yields an…
A contractor has purchased a wheel loader for $115,000 and plans to use it 2,000 hours per year. The cost of one set of tires is $25,000. At this usage rate, the contractor anticipates disposing of the loader after using it for 10 years and realizing an salvage value of $35,000. The flywheel horsepower rating of the loader's diesel engine is 105 horsepower. The loader operator will earn $34.00 per hour including fringe benefits, and diesel fuel costs $1.20 per gallon. The interest rate is 10%. How much is the hourly equipment repair cost if annual cost of repairs equals 70% of straight line depreciation? Please don't answer in handwritten..thanku
You are evaluating two different silicon wafer milling machines. The Techron I costs $300,000, has a 3-year life, and has pretax operating costs of $83,000 per year. The Techron II costs $520,000, has a 5-year life, and has pretax operating costs of $49,000 per year. For both milling machines, use straight-line depreciation to zero over the project’s life and assume a salvage value of $60,000. If your tax rate is 24 percent and your discount rate is 12 percent, compute the EAC for both machines. (A negative answer should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
You are evaluating two different silicon wafer milling machines. The Techron I costs $265,000, has a 3-year life, and has pretax operating costs of $41,000 per year. The Techron II costs $330,000, has a 5-year life, and has pretax operating costs of $52,000 per year. For both milling machines, use straight-line depreciation to zero over the project’s life and assume a salvage value of $25,000. If your tax rate is 21 percent and your discount rate is 9 percent, compute the EAC for both machines.
You are evaluating two different silicon wafer milling machines. The Techron I costs $195,000, has a three-year life, and has pretax operating costs of $32,000 per year. The Techron II costs $295,000, has a five-year life, and has pretax operating costs of $19,000 per year.
