- A design firm is considering investing in a software suite that costs $200,000. It estimates that the software will allow it to better present its design ideas and generate an additional revenue of $70,000 per year for each of the next 4 years. At the end of those 4 years, the firm will need to upgrade its software and the software suite would have negligible salvage value. Due to changes in the economy, the design firm is reevaluating its MARR - it is not sure whether it should be 9%, 12%, or 14%. Calculate the present worth at each of these MARRS, and determine for which values of the MARR the investment will be economically justified. Click here to access the TVM Factor Table calculator. PW(9%): 2$ PW(12%): $ PW(14%): Justified when MARR is %. Carry all interim calculations to 5 decimal places and then round your final answers for the PWs to a whole number and for the IRR to 1 decimal place. The tolerance is ±20 for the PWs and ±0.2 for the IRR.You are the financial analyst for furniture manufacturer. The company is considering using a certain new raw material in its furniture. The company has estimated the information in the following table about the market for a chair with the new material. The company expects to sell the chair for six years.

It is inefficient compared to modern standards, though, and so the company is considering replacing it. The new milling machine, at a cost of $110,000 delivered and installed, would also last for 10 years and would produce after-tax cash flows (labor savings and depreciation tax savings) of $19,000 per year. It would have zero salvage value at the end of its life. The project cost of capital is 10%, and its marginal tax rate is 25%. Should Chen buy the new machine?
- Moon Corp. is considering a new product whose data are shown below. The equipment to be used would be depreciated by the straight-line method over its 3-year life and would have a zero-salvage value, and no change in net operating working capital would be required. Revenues and other operating costs are expected to be constant over the project's 3-year life. However, this project would compete with other Plastic products and would reduce their pre-tax annual cash flows. What is the project's NPV? IRR? Briefly discuss the results and why you would accept or reject the equipment. WACC 10.0% Pre-tax cash flow reduction for other products (cannibalization) −$5,000 Investment cost (depreciable basis) $80,000 Annual sales revenues $67,500 Annual operating costs (excl. depreciation) −$25,000 Tax rate 21.0%The management of Origami Company, a wholesale distributor of beachwear products, is considering purchasing a $30,000 machine that would reduce operating costs in its warehouse by $5,000 per year. At the end of the machine's eight-year useful life, it will have no scrap value. The company's required rate of return is 11%. (Ignore income taxes.) Required: 1. Determine the net present value of the investment in the machine. (Hint: Use Microsoft Excel to calculate the discount factor(s).) (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your final answer to the nearest dollar amount. Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign.) Net present value 2. What is the difference between the total undiscounted cash inflows and cash outflows over the entire life of the machine? Net cash flowOptiLux is considering investing in an automated manufacturing system. The system requires an initial investment of $4 million, has a 20-year life, and will have zero salvage value. If the system is implemented, the company will save $500,000 per year in direct labor costs. The company requires a 10% return from its investments. 1. Compute the proposed investment’s net present value. 2. Using your answer from part 1, is the investment’s internal rate of return higher or lower than 10%?
- Paulsen Corporation is involved in the evaluation of a new computer-integrated manufacturing system. The system has a projected initial cost of P1,000,000. It has an expected life of six years, with no salvage value, and is expected to generate annual cost savings of P250,000. Based on Paulsen Corporation’s analysis, the project has a net present value of P57,625. What is the project’s profitability index? (Show your solution)Applied Nanotech is thinking about introducing a new surface cleaning machine. The engineering department has come up with the estimate that developing the machine will take a $7.5 million initial investment. If unsuccessful, after the first year the project can be dismantled and will have an after tax salvage value of $3.5 million. If the risk-free rate is 4% and the volatility of the business is 40%, determine the value of the option to abandon. Determine whether the company should dismantle the project.Jones Car Wash is considering a new project whose data are shown below. The equipment that would be used has a 3-year tax life, would be depreciated by the straight line method over the project's 3 year life, and would have zero salvage value. No new working capital would be required. Revenues and other operating costs are expected to be constant over the project's 3-year life. If the number of cars washed declined by 50% from the expected level, by how much would the project's NPV change? (Hint: Cash flows are constant in Years 1-3.)
