Ahorita Company manufactures wireless transponders for satellite applications. Ahorita has recently acquired Zelltech Company, which is primarily known for its software communications development but also manufactures a specialty transponder under the trade name “Z-Tech” that competes with one of Ahorita’s products. Ahorita will now discontinue Z-Tech and projects that its own product line will see a market share increase. Nonetheless, Ahorita’s management will maintain the rights to the Z-Tech trade name as a defensive intangible asset to prevent its use by competitors, despite the fact that its high-est and best use would be to sell the trade name. Ahorita estimates that the trade name has an internal value of $1.5 million, but if sold would yield $2 million.

THE DECISION TO LEASE OR BUY AT WARF COMPUTERS
Warf Computers has decided to proceed with the manufacture and distribution of the virtual keyboard (VK) the company has developed. To undertake this venture, the company needs to obtain equipment for the production of the microphone for the keyboard. Because of the required sensitivity of the microphone and its small size, the company needs specialized equipment for production.
Nick Warf, the company president, has found a vendor for the equipment. Clapton Acoustical Equipment has offered to sell Warf Computers the necessary equipment at a price of $6.1 million. Because of the rapid development of new technology, the equipment falls in the three-year MACRS depreciation class. At the end of four years, the market value of the equipment is expected to be $780,000.
Alternatively, the company can lease the equipment from Hendrix Leasing. The lease contract calls for four annual payments of $1.48 million, due at the beginning of the year.…

several pieces of new equipment would be required; their estimated cost is $3,750,000. EagleEye requires a minimum ROI
of 12% on any product line investment and estimates that if it enters this market with its digital binocular product at the
prevailing market price, It is confident of its ability to sell 15,000 units each year.
b. Calculate the target cost per unit for entry into the digital binocular market

- The Wood Pellet Corporation The Wood Pellet Corporation (WPC) is considering opportunities to modernize (automate) its plant and equipment. Rachelle Brown, the president of the firm, is enthusiastic about an automation strategy and sees it as essential if the firm is to stay competitive. As a first step in the economic analysis of automated equipment, a cash-flow net present value calculation was done for one of the more desirable pieces of equipment. The firm conventionally uses 0.20 to evaluate investment opportunities (debt currently costs 0.131 before tax). The statutory corporate tax rate is 0.46. Exhibit 1 shows the capital budgeting analysis for the $10,000,000 investment. The entire amount of investment is eligible for a 0.10 investment tax credit. The tax basis of the investment is $9,500,000 ($10,000,000 minus half of the $1,000,000 investment tax credit). The estimated life of the equipment is five years with zero salvage value at the end of that period of time. The firm…arrow_forwardHasbro is a leading firm in the toy, game, and amusement industry. Its promoted brands group includes products from Playskool, Tonka, Milton Bradley, Parker Brothers, Tiger, and Wizards of the Coast. Sales of toys and games are highly variable from year to year depending on whether the latest products meet consumer interests. Hasbro also faces increasing competition from electronic and online games. Hasbro develops and promotes its core brands and manufactures and distributes products created by others under license arrangements. Hasbro pays a royalty to the creator of such products. In recent years, Hasbro has attempted to reduce its reliance on license arrangements, placing more emphasis on its core brands. Hasbro also has embarked on a strategy of reducing fixed selling and administrative costs in an effort to offset the negative effects on earnings of highly variable sales. Exhibit 4.30 presents the balance sheets for Hasbro for the years ended December 31, Years 1 through 4. Exhibit 4.31 presents the income statements and Exhibit 4.32 presents the statements of cash flows for Years 2 through 4. Exhibit 4.30 Exhibit 4.31 Exhibit 4.32 REQUIRED a.

The cost of capital that applies to both investments is 11%. The life for both types of truck is estimated to be 6 years, during which time the net cash flows for the electric-powered truck will be $6,100 per year, and those for the gas-powered truck will be $5,300 per year.

In this case, the company will need to perform a replacement analysis to determine which alternative is the best financial decision for the company. Consider the case of LoRusso Company: The managers of LoRusso Company are considering replacing an existing piece of equipment, and have collected the following information: • The new piece of equipment will have a cost of $600,000, and it will be depreciated on a straight-line basis over a period of five years (years 1–5). • The old machine is also being depreciated on a straight-line basis. It has a book value of $200,000 (at year 0) and three more years of depreciation left ($50,000 per year). • The new equipment will have a salvage value of $0 at the end of the project's life (year 5).
