In 2018, Starsearch Corporation began work on three research and development projects. One of the projects was completed and commercial production of the developed product began in December. The company’s fiscal year-end is December 31. All of the following 2016 expenditures were included in the R&D expense account:
| Salaries and wages for: | |
| Lab research | $ 300,000 |
| Design and construction of preproduction prototype | 160,000 |
| Quality control during commercial production | 20,000 |
| Materials and supplies consumed for: | |
| Lab research | 60,000 |
| Construction of preproduction prototype | 30,000 |
| Purchase of equipment | 600,000 |
| Patent filing and legal fees for completed project | 40,000 |
| Payments to others for research | 120,000 |
| Total | $1,330,000 |
$200,000 of equipment was purchased solely for use in one of the projects. After the project is completed, the equipment will be abandoned. The remaining $400,000 in equipment will be used on future R&D projects. The useful life of equipment is five years. Assume that all of the equipment was acquired at the beginning of the year.

A company is considering the purchase of a new production machine and is not sure whether the project fulfills its investment objective. The company requires that all investments must have a positive net present value (NPV). The machine costs $100,000 and will be depreciated for tax purposes on a straight-line basis over its useful life of five years. The machine has a $0 salvage value. The project will generate $30,000 of pretax operating cash inflow annually. The company has a 25% effective income tax rate and uses a 10% discount rate for investment projects. Which of the following represents the NPV of the project? Select one: a. $(14,707) b. $(33,661) c. $13,724 d. $4,246

- Problem 11-06New-Project Analysis The Campbell Company is considering adding a robotic paint sprayer to its production line. The sprayer's base price is $1,140,000, and it would cost another $23,500 to install it. The machine falls into the MACRS 3-year class (the applicable MACRS depreciation rates are 33.33%, 44.45%, 14.81%, and 7.41%), and it would be sold after 3 years for $547,000. 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 $381,000 per year in before-tax operating costs, mainly labor. Campbell's marginal tax rate is 30%.

The commercial products division annually purchases 10,600 units of part 23–6711, which the industrial division produces for use in manufacturing one of its own products. The commercial division is growing rapidly; it is expanding its production and now wants to increase its purchases of part 23–6711 to 15,600 units per year. The problem is that the industrial division is at full capacity. No new investment in the industrial division has been made for some years because top management sees little future growth in its products, so its capacity is unlikely to increase soon. The commercial division can buy part 23–6711 from Advanced Micro Incorporated or from Admiral Electric, a customer of the industrial division now purchasing 680 units of part 88–461.

- Exercise 14-6 (Algo) Simple Rate of Return Method [LO14-6] The management of Ballard MicroBrew is considering the purchase of an automated bottling machine for $57,000. The machine would replace an old piece of equipment that costs $15,000 per year to operate. The new machine would cost $7,000 per year to operate. The old machine currently in use is fully depreciated and could be sold now for a salvage value of $24,000. The new machine would have a useful life of 10 years with no salvage value. Required: 1. What is the annual depreciation expense associated with the new bottling machine? 2. What is the annual incremental net operating income provided by the new bottling machine? 3. What is the amount of the initial investment associated with this project that should be used for calculating the simple rate of return? 4.
