Chapter 10, Problem 33QP
Calculating Required Savings [LO2] A proposed cost-saving device has an installed cost of $645,000. The device will be used in a five-year project but is classified as three-year MACRS property for tax purposes. The required initial net working capital investment is $55,000, the marginal tax rate is 35 percent, and the project discount rate is 9 percent. The device has an estimated Year 5 salvage value of $75,000. What level of pretax cost savings do we require for this project to be profitable?

Project Evaluation [LO1] Dog Up! Franks is looking at a new sausage systemwith an installed cost of $460,000. This cost will be depreciated straight-line to zero over the project's five-year life, at the end of which the sausage system can be scrapped for $55,000. The sausage system will save the firm $155,000 per year in pretax operating costs, and the system requires an initial investment in net working capital of $29,000. If the tax rate is 21 percent and the discount rate is 10 percent, what is the NPV of this project?
2 Net Present Value (NPV) Example 1 (Ross et al., 2023, pp. 299-300): We want to establish a new fertilizer business. The project costs $30,000 to launch. The project can generate cash revenues of $20,000 per year. The project will incur cash costs (including taxes) of $14,000 per year. The project will be terminated in 8 years and the project's assets can be sold for $2,000 at that time. A 15% discount rate is appropriate for this project. a. Should we undertake this project? b. If there are 1,000 shares of stock outstanding, what will be the effect on the price per share from taking the project?
Question 5.
Swad Enterprises is considering a new three-year expansion project that requires an initial fixed asset investment of $2.32 million. The fixed asset will be depreciated straight-line to zero over its three-year tax life, after which time it will be worthless. The project is estimated to generate $1.735 million in annual sales, with costs of $650,000. If the tax rate is 21 percent, what is the OCF for this project?
Further, suppose the required return on the project is 12 percent. What is the project’s NPV?
