You purchased a small company for $50,000 (in year zero). Unfortunately, things did not go well and your company lost $2,500 each year for the first three years. To alleviate the situation, during the third year, you decided to invest an additional $12,000 in the company. This smart decision resulted in a profit of $11,000 each year from the fourth year through the 16th year. At the end of 16 years the company can be sold for $40,000. Calculate the internal rate of return (IRR) as well as the NPV if MARR = 12%. Neglect depreciation or taxes in this problem

Alfredo Company purchased a new 3-D printer for $900,000. Although this printer is expected to last for ten years, Alfredo knows the technology will become old quickly, and so they plan to replace this printer in three years. At that point, Alfredo believes it will be able to sell the printer for $15,000. Calculate yearly depreciation using the double-declining-balance method.

Benton is a rental car company that is trying to determine whether to add 25 cars to its fleet. The company fully depreciates all its rental cars over six years using the straight-line method. The new cars are expected to generate $195,000 per year in earnings before taxes and depreciation for six years. The company is entirely financed by equity and has a 23 percent tax rate. The required return on the company’s unlevered equity is 13 percent and the new fleet will not change the risk of the company. The risk-free rate is 6 percent. a. What is the maximum price that the company should be willing to pay for the new fleet of cars if it remains an all-equity company? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) b. Suppose the company can purchase the fleet of cars for $675,000. Additionally, assume the company can issue $470,000 of six-year debt to finance the project at the risk-free rate of 6 percent. All principal will…

2 years ago, you purchased product for factory The product was purchased for $3, 000 The product was expected to depreciate at a rate of 10%, using the declining balance method Today, you sold the pump for $7, 400, after which the asset pool was closed Given that 50% of capital gains are taxable, and that the corporate income tax rate is 45%, what are your after-tax proceeds from the sale of the pump Assume no capital losses are available, and that the half year rule does not apply and round your total to the nearest whole dollar.
Two years ago Agro Inc., purchased an ACE generator that cost $300,000. Agro had to pay an additional $10,000 for delivery and installation, and the investment in the generator required the firm to increase its net working capital position by $20,000. The generator, which is being depreciated over a period of 4 years using straight-line depreciation, has a current market value of $71,150. The firm’s marginal tax rate is 40 percent. If the firm liquidates the asset for its current market value, compute the after-tax proceeds from the sale of the asset. Round your answer to the nearest dollar. $
Creative Solutions purchased a patent from Russell Lazarus, an inventor. At the time of the purchase, the patent had two years remaining. The president of Creative Solutions decided to have the accountant amortize the cost of the patent, $200,000, over 10 years rather than two years. His reasoning was that the $200,000 has already been spent and stockholders might ask a lot of questions about a $100,000 expense showing up on the income statement but probably wouldn’t pay much attention to a $20,000 expense. What is Creative Solutions’ ethical responsibility to the company’s stockholders? According to GAAP, how should the amortization of patents be treated? Write a short paragraph explaining similarities and differences between plant assets and intangible assets. In groups of two or three, determine an appropriate method of depreciation, depletion, or amortization of the following assets for financial reporting purposes: (a) a car used as a taxi, (b) a parcel of land that will…
Ms. T. Potts, the treasurer of Ideal China, has a problem. The company has just ordered a new kiln for $450,000. Of this sum, $55,000 is described by the supplier as an installation cost. Ms. Potts does not know whether the company will need to treat this cost as a tax-deductible current expense or as a capital investment. In the latter case, the company could depreciate the $55,000 straight-line over five years. How will the tax authority’s decision affect the after-tax cost of the kiln? The tax rate is 25%, and the opportunity cost of capital is 5%. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to the nearest whole dollar amount.)
Hayden Inc. has a number of copiers that were bought four years ago for $30,000. Currently maintenance costs $3,000 a year, but the maintenance agreement expires at the end of two years, and thereafter, the annual maintenance charge will rise to $9,000. The machines have a current resale value of $9,000, but at the end of year 2, their value will have fallen to $4,500. By the end of year 6, the machines will be valueless and would be scrapped.Hayden is considering replacing the copiers with new machines that would do essentially the same job. These machines cost $25,000, and the company can take out an eight-year maintenance contract for $1,800 a year. The machines would have no value by the end of the eight years and would be scrapped.Both machines are depreciated using seven-year straight-line depreciation, and the tax rate is 40%. Assume for simplicity that the inflation rate is zero. The real cost of capital is 7%.a. Calculate the equivalent annual cost, if the copiers are: (i)…
