To secure the contract, the firm must spend $50,000 to retool its plant. This retooling will have no salvage value at the end of the 8 years. Comparable investment alternatives are available to the firm that earn 10 percent compounded annually. The depreciation tax benefit from the retooling is reflected in the net cash flows in the table.

Kansas Corporation is reviewing an investment proposal that has an initial cost of $54,000. An estimate of the investment's end-of-
year book value, the yearly after-tax net cash inflows, and the yearly net income are presented in the schedule below. Yearly after-tax
net cash inflows include savings from the depreciation tax shield. The investment's salvage value at the end of each year is equal to
book value, and there will be no salvage value at the end of the investment's life.

- The Rodriguez Company is considering an average-risk investment in a mineral water spring project that has an initial after-tax cost of 170,000. The project will produce 1,000 cases of mineral water per year indefinitely, starting at Year 1. The Year-1 sales price will be 138 per case, and the Year-1 cost per case will be 105. The firm is taxed at a rate of 25%. Both prices and costs are expected to rise after Year 1 at a rate of 6% per year due to inflation. The firm uses only equity, and it has a cost of capital of 15%. Assume that cash flows consist only of after-tax profits because the spring has an indefinite life and will not be depreciated. a. What is the present value of future cash flows? (Hint: The project is a growing perpetuity, so you must use the constant growth formula to find its NPV.) What is the NPV? b. Suppose that the company had forgotten to include future inflation. What would they have incorrectly calculated as the projects NPV?arrow_forwardThe Sip & Dip Donut company is considering the acquisition of a new automatic donut dropper for $600,000. The machine will have a six-year life and will produce before tax cash savings of $200,000 each year. The asset is to be depreciated using the straight-line method with no salvage value. The company's tax rate is 40 percent. What is the after-tax net cash inflow on the investment?arrow_forwardACDC Company is considering the installation of a new machine that costs $150,000. The machine is expected to lead to net income of $44,000 per year for the next 5 years. Using straight-line depreciation, $0 salvage value, and an effective income tax rate of 28%, determine the after-tax rate of return for this investment. If the company’s after-tax MARR rate is 12%, would this be a good investment or not?arrow_forward
- Builders Supply, Inc.is considering adding a new product line that is expected to increase annual sales by $367,000 and expenses by $256,000. The project will require $165,000 in fixed assets that will be depreciated using the straight-line method to a zero book value over the 8-year life of the project. The company has a marginal tax rate of 34 percent. What is the depreciation tax shield?arrow_forwardTechno Lab, a taxpaying entity, estimates that it can save $30,000 a year in cash operating costs for the next 10 years if it buys a special-purpose eye-testing machine at a cost of $135,000. No terminal disposal value is expected. Techno Labs' required rate of return is 10%. Assume all cash flows occur at year-end except for initial investment amounts. Techno Labs uses straight-line depreciation. The income tax rate is 34% for all transactions that affect income taxes. . Requirement 1. Calculate the following for the special-purpose eye-testing machine: Net present value (NPR) (Round interim calculations and your final answers to the nearest whole dollar. Use a minus sign or parentheses for a negative net present value.) 1. Calculate the following for the special-purpose eye-testing machine: a. Net present value b. Payback period c.

This equipment will be depreciated by the straight-line over four years down to a value of zero. The machinery also has an operating life of four years. At the end of that life, you estimate it will have a salvage value of $120,000. Any gain or loss on the resell will be taxed at the firm's marginal tax rate. During the four-year life, the project should generate annual cash flows of $225,000 per year. The firm has a marginal tax rate of 22%, and it requires a return of 8.50% on projects of such risk.

- A company is now at the end of the final year of a project. The equipment originally cost $28,000, of which 75% has been depreciated. The firm can sell the used equipment today for $6,000, and its tax rate is 40%. What is the equipment’s after-tax salvage value for use in a capital budgeting analysis? Note that if the equipment's final market value is less than its book value, the firm will receive a tax credit as a result of the sale. $5,632 $6,848 $6,400 $5,824 $7,232arrow_forwardYour firm is considering investing in a new capital project that requires an initial investment of $8,000,000.
