The Rodriguez Company is considering an average-risk investment in a mineral water spring project that has an initial after-tax cost of 170,000. The project will produce 1,000 cases of mineral water per year indefinitely, starting at Year 1. The Year-1 sales price will be 138 per case, and the Year-1 cost per case will be 105. The firm is taxed at a rate of 25%. Both prices and costs are expected to rise after Year 1 at a rate of 6% per year due to inflation. The firm uses only equity, and it has a cost of capital of 15%. Assume that cash flows consist only of after-tax profits because the spring has an indefinite life and will not be depreciated. a. What is the present value of future cash flows? (Hint: The project is a growing perpetuity, so you must use the constant growth formula to find its NPV.) What is the NPV? b. Suppose that the company had forgotten to include future inflation. What would they have incorrectly calculated as the projects NPV?
Although the Chen Company’s milling machine is old, it is still in relatively good working order and would last for another 10 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?
Mason, Inc., is considering the purchase of a patent that has a cost of $85000 and an estimated revenue producing lite of 4 years. Mason has a required rate of return that is 12% and a cost of capital of 11%. The patent is expected to generate the following amounts of annual income and cash flows: A. What is the NPV of the investment? B. What happens if the required rate of return increases?
Falkland, Inc., is considering the purchase of a patent that has a cost of $50,000 and an estimated revenue producing life of 4 years. Falkland has a cost of capital of 8%. The patent is expected to generate the following amounts of annual income and cash flows: A. What is the NPV of the investment? B. What happens if the required rate of return increases?
Each of the following scenarios is independent. All cash flows are after-tax cash flows. Required: 1. Patz Corporation is considering the purchase of a computer-aided manufacturing system.

Planet Enterprises is purchasing a $9.6 million machine. It will cost $48,000 to transport and install the machine. The machine has a depreciable life of five years using straight-line depreciation and will have no salvage value. The machine will generate incremental revenues of $4.1 million per year along with incremental costs of $1.1 million per year. Planet's marginal tax rate is 30% . You are forecasting incremental free cash flows for Daily Enterprises. What are the incremental free cash flows associated? The free cash flow for year 0 will be ?

Blues Bros. Inc. is considering an investment in a computer that is capable of producing various images that are useful in the production of commercial art. The computer would cost P20,000 and have an expected life of eight years. The computer is expected to generate additional annual net cash receipts (before-tax) of P6,000 per year. The computer will be depreciated according to the straight-line method and the firm's marginal tax rate is 25 percent. 1. Refer to Blues Bros. Inc. What is the after-tax payback period for the computer project?
Colors and More is considering replacing the equipment it uses to produce crayons. The equipment would cost $1.03 million, have a 12-year life, and lower manufacturing costs by an estimated $280,000 a year. The equipment will be depreciated using straight-line depreciation over its expected life to a book value of zero. Ignore bonus depreciation. The required rate of return is 13 percent and the tax rate is 23 percent. What is the annual operating cash flow?
We are evaluating a project that costs RM604,000, has an 8-year life, and has no salvage value. Assume that depreciation is straight-line to zero over the life of the project. Sales are projected at 55,000 units per year. Price per unit is RM36, variable cost per unit is RM17, and fixed costs are RM685,000 per year. The tax rate is 21 percent and we require a return of 15 percent on this project. (i) Calculate the base-case cash flow and NPV., (ii) Assume the sales figure increases to 56,000 units per year, calculate the sensitivity of NPV to changes in the sales figure?
Daily Enterprises is purchasing a $10.0 million machine. It will cost $50,000 to transport and install the machine. The machine has a depreciable life of five years and will have no salvage value. The machine will generate incremental revenues of $4.0 million per year along with incremental costs of $1.2 million per year. If Daily's marginal tax rate is 21%, what are the incremental earnings (net income) associated with the new machine?
Dobson Corp. is considering the purchase of a new piece of equipment. The cost savings from the equipment would result in an annual increase in net income of $59,000. The equipment will have an initial cost of $507,000 and have an seven year life. There is no salvage value of the equipment. The hurdle rate is 14%. Ignore income taxes. a.
