Problem 9 A contractor is considering the following three alternatives: a. Purchase a new microcomputer system for $15,000. The system is expected to last 6 years with salvage value of $1,000. b. Lease a new microcomputer system for $3,000 per year, payable in advance. The system should last 6 years. c. Purchase a used microcomputer system for $8,200. It is expected to last 3 with no salvage value. Use a common-multiple-of-lives approach. If MARR of 8% is used, which alternative should be selected using a discounted present worth analysis? If the MARR is 12%, which alternate should be selected? years
V14 Steadman Company is considering an investment in a new machine for an independent five-year project. The machine’s cost is $837,500 with no salvage value at the end of five years. Net cash inflows from the project are expected to be $252,500 annually. Steadman would depreciate the machine using the MACRS schedule, and the machine qualifies as a 5-year asset. Steadman uses a discount rate of 8%, and its tax rate is 30%. Required: 1. Determine the after-tax net income and after-tax cash flows from the investment. Refer to Exhibit 12.4 for the 5-year MACRS deprecation schedule. 2. Determine the NPV of the project. 3. Determine the IRR of the project. 4. Determine the payback period of the project, assuming that cash flows occur evenly in each year. 5. Determine the book (accounting) rate of return using both (a) the initial investment as the denominator and (b) the average book value of the investment as the denominator.

Determine the payback period of the investment. 2. Would the payback period be affected if the cash inflow in the last year was several times larger?
Question 8 Blue Sky Corporation is evaluating the proposed acquisition of a new production machine. The machine's base price is $260,000, and installation costs would amount to $10,000. An additional $10,000 in net working capital would be required at installation. The machine has a class life of 2 years. The machine would save the firm $225,000 per year in operating costs. The firm is planning to keep the machine in place for 2 years. At the end of the second year, the firm plans to sell the machine for $80,000. The firm has a required rate of return on investment projects of 10% and a marginal tax rate of 21%. What is the NPV of the project? $138,190 O $104,705 O $139,926 $169,627 O $138,190
ts 19 Riverview Company is evaluating the proposed acquisition of a new production machine. The machine's base price is $200,000, and installation costs would amount to $28,000. Also, $10,000 in net working capital would be required at installation. The machine will be depreciated for 3 years using simplified straight line depreciation. The machine would save the firm $110,000 per year in operating costs. The firm is planning to keep the machine in place for 2 years. At the end of the second year, the machine will be sold for $100,000. Riverview has a cost of capital of 12% and a marginal tax rate of 34%. What is the NPV of the project?

Question 2 Mad Cat Inc. is debating between two alternative earth moving machines to use for the next 8 years. The first supplier, Double Candle, offers the necessary machinery (CCA rate = 30%) at an upfront cost of $5,450,000. These machines are expected to last 4 years and then be salvaged for approximately $1,400,000 (the CCA pool remains open). All the Double Candle machines would be salvaged and replaced after 4 years. The alternative is to purchase significantly more expensive (but longer lasting) machinery from Elemental which would last the full 8 years but cost $8,650,000 and depreciate at the same CCA rate. Elemental's machines have an expected salvage value of approximately $1,800,000. Mad Cat pays a 25% tax rate and its cost of capital is 11%. a) Which of the two systems incurs the lowest overall cost for Mad Cat? (4 marks) b) For what salvage value on the Elemental machines would you be indifferent between the two options? (2 marks)
Question 4 Neptune company plans to purchase a new machine for the expansion project. The machine's price is RM200,000 and it would cost another RM20,000 for installation and RM 15,000 for net working capital. The company is planning to finance the machine's cost through bank loan with an interest rate of 8% per year. The machine has an expected life of 10 years and will be depreciated using simplified straight line depreciation method. However, the project is expected to be ended in year seven. The company expect that this new machine would increase the company's annual income of RM40,000 per year. The maintenance cost for the machine will be RM10,000 per year. Additionally, the use of this new machine is expected to reduce the defect cost by RM2,000 per year. At the end of year 7, this machine is expected to be sold at RM30,000. Assuming the tax rate is 28% and the required rate of return is 10%, find whether ABC should proceed with this planning. Justify your answer.
Exercise 14-6 (Algo) Simple Rate of Return Method [LO14-6] The management of Ballard MicroBrew is considering the purchase of an automated bottling machine for $57,000. The machine would replace an old piece of equipment that costs $15,000 per year to operate. The new machine would cost $7,000 per year to operate. The old machine currently in use is fully depreciated and could be sold now for a salvage value of $24,000. The new machine would have a useful life of 10 years with no salvage value. Required: 1. What is the annual depreciation expense associated with the new bottling machine? 2. What is the annual incremental net operating income provided by the new bottling machine? 3. What is the amount of the initial investment associated with this project that should be used for calculating the simple rate of return? 4. What is the simple rate of return on the new bottling machine? (Round your answer to 1 decimal place i.e. 0.123 should be considered as 12.3%.)
