Market Top Investors, Incorporated, is considering the purchase of a $345, 000 computer with an economic life of five years. The computer will be fully depreciated over five years using the straight - line method, at which time it will be worth $78, 000. The computer will replace two office employees whose combined annual salaries are $89, 000. The machine will also immediately lower the firm's required net working capital by $78, 000. This amount of net working capital will need to be replaced once the machine is sold. The corporate tax rate is 23 percent. The appropriate discount rate is 11 percent. Calculate the NPV of this project

Barbara estimates that annual receipts from rentals will be $55,000 and that annual disbursements. other than income taxes, will be about $18,000. The property is expected to appreciate at the annual rate of 5%. Barbara expects to retain the property for 20 years once it is acquired.

- Replacement versus expansion cash flows- Tesla Systems has estimated the cash flows over the five-year lives of a project that will install new equipment to replace old equipment. If the firm makes this investment, it will sell the old equipment and receive after-tax proceeds of $1,551,000. If the firm decides not to undertake this project, the old equipment will remain in service and generate the cash flows listed in years 1 through 5, and it will have no value after five years.
