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.

Barbara Thompson is considering the purchase of a piece of business rental property containing stores and offices at a cost of $350,000. 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. Then it will be depreciated on the basis of the 39-year real-property class (MACRS), assuming that the property would be placed in service on January 1. Barbara's marginal tax rate is 30%, and her MARR is 10%. What would be the minimum annual total of rental receipts that would make the investment break even?
Your company is contemplating the purchase of a large stamping machine. The machine will cost $180,000. With additional transportation and installation costs of $5,000 and $10,000, respectively, the cost basis for depreciation purposes is $195,000. Its MV at the end of five years is estimated as $40,000. The IRS has assured you that this machine will fall under a three-year MACRS class life category. The justifications for this machine include $40,000 savings per year in labor and $30,000 savings per year in reduced materials. The before-tax MARR is 20% per year, and the effective income tax rate is 40%. Use this information to solve, The taxable income for year three is most nearly (a) $5,010 (b) $16,450 (c) $28,880 (d) $41,120 (e) $70,000.

- 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.
