A company considers introducing a new newspaper. Its direct competitor charges $0.25 at retail. The fixed cost charges to be $350,000 per month. The variable cost is $0.08 per copy, but advertising revenues of $0.05 per paper will be generated. To print the morning paper, the publisher has to purchase a new printing press, which will cost $620,000. The press machine will be depreciated according to a seven-year MACRS class. The press machine will be used for 10 years, at which time its salvage value would be about $100,000. Assume 365 issues per year, a 27% tax rate, and a 13% MARR. How many copies per day must be sold to break even at a retail selling price of $0.20 per paper?

I need help in figuring out the step by step procedure, performing the operations and calculations manually, using formulas.
One year ago, your company purchased a machine used in manufacturing for $110,000. The current machine is expected to produce EBITDA of $20,000 per year. The current machine is being depreciated on a straight-line basis over a useful life of 11 years, after which it will have no salvage value, so depreciation expense for the current machine is $10,000 per year. The market value today of the current machine is $50,000.
You have learned that a new machine is available that offers many advantages; you can purchase it for $150,000 today. It will be depreciated on a straight-line basis over 10 years, after which it has no salvage value.
You expect that the new machine will produce EBITDA (earning before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization) of $40,000 per year for the next 10 years.
All other expenses of the two machines are identical.Your company’s tax…

- Blue Inc. is considering producing a short-lived fad item, which it estimates will have a project life of three years. The only fixed assets it will need to purchase is some machinery which costs $120,000, plus $10,000 to modify it for this project's use. The machinery will be depreciated using the MACRS 5-year property class schedule, and Blue estimates that the machinery could be sold at the end of the third year for $70,000. In addition to expenditures on fixed assets, this project would cause the firm's cash needs to increase by $15,000 and additional raw materials inventory will go up by $5,000, both at Time 0. It also estimates that by the end of Year 1, accounts receivable will rise by $6,000. The new product's sales revenues are expected to be $90,000 each year.
