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. Calculate the NPV of this project
Consider a machine that costs $40,000 and has a six-year useful life. At the end of the six years, it can be sold for $5,000 after all tax adjustments have been factored in.

When determining the present worth of the after-tax cash flows of an investment purchased using borrowed funds, which of the following are required? I. Principal and interest component for each loan payment II. Tax rate applied to the taxable income generated by the investment III. Depreciation deductions for the investment IV. Before-tax and loan cash flows for the investment V. MARR. a. I, III, IV, and V only b. II, III, IV, and V only c. IV and V only d. All items (I, II, III, IV, and V).

- 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.
