- Q1: Fatima Fertilizer is thinking of replacing its existing machinery and two options are available. The German model is available but only on lease basis. The lease payments of this model are expected to be Rs. 80,000/- per year for 5 years and due at the beginning of each year. The model is expected to result in a before tax saving of Rs. 29,000/- per year due to electricity savings. The alternate model, which is more energy efficient will cost Rs. 365,000/- and will result in a before tax saving of Rs. 32,000/- per year. The purchased machine is depreciated at straight line method, and If purchased, the machine will be financed through HBL at 10%. The tax bracket for Fatima Fertilizer is 34%. The salvage value of both the machines will be 0 after five years. Should Fatima Fertilizer lease the German model or purchase the energy efficient machinery?arrow_forwardA firm is considering whether to buy specialized equipment that would cost $200,000 and have annual costs of $15,000. After 5 years of operation, the equipment would have no salvage value. The same equipment can be leased for $50,000 per year (annual costs included in the lease), payable at the beginning of each year. If the firm uses an interest rate of 5% per year, the annual cost advantage of leasing over purchasing is nearest what value?

Please present answer to nearest half a month.arrow_forwardWhat is the simple payback on this improvement? (Ignore Discount Rate) A silicon wafer manufacturing process has a potential improvement but the total cost of the system improvement over the expected remaining service life of 5 years is unknown. The initial cost of the improvement is $7,000 and the annual maintenance cost of the improvement is $650 with a discount rate of 8%. 1. What is the total cost of the machine improvement at the present time? 2. The process improvement is expected to generate a cost savings of about $3000 per year. What is the total cost savings of the improvement at the present time?arrow_forwardConsider the rental rate of capital for an appliance rental company such as Rent-A-Center. Suppose Rent-A-Center buys televisions at the market price (P) of $3,500 each and rents them out to customers. The company faces an interest rate (r) of 15% per year, and televisions depreciate at 15% per year. Fill in the following table with the interest cost per year and the loss due to wear and tear for each television per year. Borrowing cost per year Depreciation cost G Cost (Dollars per television) Assume that firms renting televisions earn zero profit. Using the information in the previous table, the rental rate of capital, in this case, is per year per television. s to Suppose the depreciation rate decreases due to improvements in the materials used to make televisions. This should cause the equilibrium rental rate Show Transcribed Text The last question option is either "Increase" or "Decrease".arrow_forward
- REQUIRED Study the information given below and calculate the following: Payback period (in years, months and days) Net Present Value Internal Rate of Return (expressed to two decimal places). (Note: Your answer must include the interpolation.) information Eva Limited is considering the purchase of a machine. The company desires a minimum required rate of return of 12%. The machine will cost R2 200 000 plus installation costs of R200 000 and is expected to have a useful life of six years. It is anticipated that the machine will have a salvage value of R100 000. The machine is expected to increase revenues by R800 000 per year but will require the employment of two new machine operators at R100 000 per year for each operator, and it will also require maintenance and repairs averaging R50 000 per year. Depreciation is estimated to be R400 000 per year.arrow_forward1. Prepare a differential anaysis comparing present machine (Alt. 1) to new machine (Alt. 2). Analysis should indicate total differential income over the six-year period if the new machine is purchased. 2. Which Alternative would you propose? What other factors should be considered? 3. What if you could invest the funds required to purchase the new equipment (cost less proceeds from sale of old machine) at 4% per year. Does this change your viewpoint? What does this indicate of the limitations of this method for evaluating an investment proposal?arrow_forward2. The controller has asked you to consider three separate options that your firm has for getting a new software/computer system. The first option is to lease the system. The annual payment will be $15 million for the first year and it will grow at 5% a year. The lease contract is 5 years long. In this case, the lease expenses are operating and therefore would be tax-deductible. The second option is to buy the system for $38 million and depreciate it over 4 years, which is the expected life of the project. A third choice is to buy the system for $38 million and take it as an immediate expense. The system has an expected life of 4 years. If the tax rate is 40% and the cost of capital is 10%, estimate the equivalent annual costs of each option.arrow_forward
