Ivanhoe Corporation is considering purchasing a new delivery truck. The truck has many advantages over the company's current truck(not the least of which is that it runs). The new truck would cost $57,186. Because of the increased capacity, reduced maintenancecosts, and increased fuel economy, the new truck is expected to generate cost savings of $8,100. At the end of eight years, thecompany will sell the truck for an estimated $27,500. Traditionally, the company has used a general rule that it should not accept aproposal unless it has a payback period that is less than 50% of the asset's estimated useful life. Gary Smith, a new manager, hassuggested that the company should not rely only on the payback approach but should also use the net present value method whenevaluating new projects. The company's cost of capital is 8%.Calculate net present value and cash payback period
Den-Tex Company is evaluating a proposal to replace its HID (high intensity discharge) lighting with LED (light emitting diode) lighting throughout its warehouse. LED lighting consumes less power and lasts longer than HID lighting for similar performance. The following information was developed: a. Determine the investment cost for replacing the 700 fixtures. b. Determine the annual utility cost savings from employing the new energy solution. c. Should the proposal be accepted? Evaluate the proposal using net present value, assuming a 15-year life and 8% minimum rate of return. (Present value factors are available in Appendix A.)
Give typing answer with explanation and conclusion Your company is contemplating replacing their current fleet of delivery vehicles with Nissan NV vans. You will be replacing 5 fully-depreciated vans, which you think you can sell for $3,700 a piece and which you could probably use for another 2 years if you chose not to replace them. The NV vans will cost $36,000 each in the configuration you want them, and can be depreciated using MACRS over a 5-year life, but you are unable to make use of either bonus depreciation or Section 179 expensing. Expected yearly before-tax cash savings due to acquiring the new vans amounts to about $4,400 each. If your cost of capital is 12 percent and your firm faces a 21 percent tax rate, what will the cash flows for this project be? (Round your answers to the nearest dollar amount.)
