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?
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?
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.
In an unrelated analysis, you have the opportunity to choose between the following two mutually exclusive projects, Project T (which lasts for 2 years) and Project F (which lasts for 4 years): The projects provide a necessary service, so whichever one is selected is expected to be repeated into the foreseeable future. Both projects have a 10% cost of capital. (1) What is each projects initial NPV without replication? (2) What is each projects equivalent annual annuity? (3) Apply the replacement chain approach to determine the projects extended NPVs. Which project should be chosen? (4) Assume that the cost to replicate Project T in 2 years will increase to 105,000 due to inflation. How should the analysis be handled now, and which project should be chosen?
Each of the following scenarios is independent. All cash flows are after-tax cash flows. Required: 1. Patz Corporation is considering the purchase of a computer-aided manufacturing system. The cash benefits will be 800,000 per year. The system costs 4,000,000 and will last eight years. Compute the NPV assuming a discount rate of 10 percent. Should the company buy the new system? 2. Sterling Wetzel has just invested 270,000 in a restaurant specializing in German food. He expects to receive 43,470 per year for the next eight years. His cost of capital is 5.5 percent. Compute the internal rate of return. Did Sterling make a good decision?
New-Project Analysis The Campbell Company is considering adding a robotic paint sprayer to its production line. The sprayer’s base price is $1,080,000, and it would cost another $22,500 to install it. The machine falls into the MACRS 3-year class, and it would be sold after 3 years for $605,000. The MACRS rates for the first 3 years are 0.3333, 0.4445, and 0.1481. The machine would require an increase in net working capital (inventory) of $15,500. The sprayer would not change revenues, but it is expected to save the firm $380,000 per year in before-tax operating costs, mainly labor. Campbell’s marginal tax rate is 35%. What is the Year-0 cash flow? What are the net operating cash flows in Years 1, 2, and 3? What is the additional Year-3 cash flow (i.e., the after-tax salvage and the return of working capital)? If the project’s cost of capital is 12%, should the machine be purchased?

Determine the NPV for the following: An information system will cost $95,000 to implement over aone-year period and will produce no savings during that year. When the system goes online, the companywill save $30,000 during the first year of operation. For the next four years, the savings will be$20,000 per year. Assuming a 12% discount rate, what is the NPV of the system?
A business uses delivery trucks and is considering purchasing model A or model Model A costs $55,000, costs $3500 a year to maintain and lasts 5 years then is junked while model B costs $35,000, costs $1300 a year and lasts only 3 yearsCalculate the equivalent annual annuity for each model and identify the best choice all else being equal? Use a cost of capital of 5% per year.
Your company is environmentally conscious and is considering two heatingoptions for a new buildings. What you know about each option is below, and your companywill use an annual interest rate (MARR) of 7% for this decision.1. Gas heating option: the initial equipment and installment of the natural gas systemwould cost OMR 83,000 right now. The maintenance costs of the equipment areexpected to be OMR 730 per year, starting next year, for each of the next 20 years.The energy cost is expected to be OMR 1840 starting next year and is expected to raiseby 7% per year for each of the next 20 years due to the price of the natural gas.2. Geothermal heating option: because of green energy incentives provided by thegovernment, the geothermal equipment and installation are expected to cost onlyOMR 72,000 right now, which is cheaper than the gas lines. There would be no energycost with geothermal, but because this is relatively newer technology themaintenance is expected to be OMR 3680 per year,…
