A driver will cost $40,000 in 20Y1, with an expected annual salary increase of $2,000 for each year thereafter. The annual operating costs for the truck are estimated to be $6,000 per year.
- a. Determine the expected annual net
cash flows from the delivery truck investment for 20Y1–20Y5. - b. Compute the net present value of the investment, assuming that the minimum desired
rate of return is 12%. Use the present value table appearing in Exhibit 2 of this chapter. - c. Is the additional truck a good investment based on your analysis? Explain.

- Average rate of returncost savings Maui Fabricators Inc. is considering an investment in equipment that will replace direct labor. The equipment has a cost of 125,000 with a 15,000 residual value and an eight-year life. The equipment will replace one employee who has an average wage of 28,000 per year. In addition, the equipment will have operating and energy costs of 5,150 per year. Determine the average rate of return on the equipment, giving effect to straight-line depreciation on the investment.arrow_forwardNet Present Value Talmage Inc. has just completed development of a new printer. The new product is expected to produce annual revenues of 2,700,000. Producing the printer requires an investment in new equipment costing 2,880,000. The printer has a projected life cycle of 5 years. After 5 years, the equipment can be sold for 360,000. Working capital is also expected to increase by 360,000, which Talmage will recover by the end of the new products life cycle. Annual cash operating expenses are estimated at 1,620,000. The required rate of return is 8%. Required: Prepare a schedule of the projected annual cash flows. Calculate the NPV using only discount factors from Exhibit 12B.1 (p. 670). Calculate the NPV using discount factors from both Exhibits 12B.1 and 12B.2 (p. 671).arrow_forwardREPLACEMENT ANALYSIS St. Johns River Shipyards is considering the replacement of an 8-year-old riveting machine with a new one that will increase earnings from 24,000 to 46,000 per year. The new machine will cost 80,000, and it will have an estimated life of 8 years and no salvage value. The new riveting machine is eligible for 100% bonus depreciation at the time of purchase. The applicable corporate tax rate is 25%, and the firms WACC is 10%. The old machine has been fully depreciated and has no salvage value. Should the old riveting machine be replaced by the new one? Explain your answer.arrow_forward
- Depreciation Jensen Inc., a graphic arts studio, is considering the purchase of computer equipment and software for a total cost of $18,000. Jensen can pay for the equipment and software over three years at the rate of $6,000 per year. The equipment is expected to last 10 to 20 years, but because of changing technology, Jensen believes it may need to replace the system in as soon as three to five years. A three-year lease of similar equipment and software is available for $6,000 per year. Jensens accountant has asked you to recommend whether the company should purchase or lease the equipment and software and to suggest the length of time over which to depreciate the software and equipment if the company makes the purchase. Required Ignoring the effect of taxes, would you recommend the purchase or the lease? Why or why not? Referring to the definition of depreciation, what appropriate useful life should be used for the equipment and software?arrow_forwardCost of Capital, Net Present Value Leakam Companys product engineering department has developed a new product that has a 3-year life cycle. Production of the product requires development of a new process that requires a current 100,000 capital outlay. The 100,000 will be raised by issuing 60,000 of bonds and by selling new stock for 40,000. The 60,000 in bonds will have net (after-tax) interest payments of 3,000 at the end of each of the 3 years, with the principal being repaid at the end of Year 3. The stock issue carries with it an expectation of a 17.5% return, expressed in the form of dividends at the end of each year (with 7,000 in dividends expected for each of the next 3 years). The sources of capital for this investment represent the same proportion and costs that the company typically has. Finally, the project will produce after-tax cash inflows of 50,000 per year for the next 3 years. Required: 1. Compute the cost of capital for the project. (Hint: The cost of capital is a weighted average of the two sources of capital, where the weights are the proportion of capital from each source.) 2. CONCEPTUAL CONNECTION Compute the NPV for the project. Explain why it is not necessary to subtract the interest payments and the dividend payments and appreciation from the inflow of 50,000 in carrying out this computation.arrow_forwardDetermine cash flows Natural Foods Inc. is planning to invest in new manufacturing equipment to make a new garden tool.
