The manufacture of folic acid is a competitive business. A new plant costs $100,000 and lasts for three years. The cash flow from the plant is as follows: Year-1: +43,300, Year-2: $43,300 and Year-3 = 58,300. (Assume there is no tax.) If the salvage value of the plant at the end of year is $66,700, would you scrap the plant at the end of year one?

Dauten is offered a replacement machine which has a cost of 8,000, an estimated useful life of 6 years, and an estimated salvage value of 800. The replacement machine is eligible for 100% bonus depreciation at the time of purchase- The replacement machine would permit an output expansion, so sales would rise by 1,000 per year; even so, the new machines much greater efficiency would cause operating expenses to decline by 1,500 per year The new machine would require that inventories be increased by 2,000, but accounts payable would simultaneously increase by 500. Dautens marginal federal-plus-state tax rate is 25%, and its WACC is 11%. Should it replace the old machine?
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?

A certain company is considering the use of a concrete electric pole in the expansion of its power distribution lines. A concrete pole cost 18,000 each and will last 20 years. The company is presently using wooden poles which cost 12,000 per pole and will last 10 years. Assume annual taxes amount to 1 percent of first cost and zero salvage value in both cases. Money is worth 12 percent. 1.1. What is the amount of annual depreciation each pole? 1.2. Excluding interest on capital, what is the annual cost of the wooden pole?
The company you work for is planning to buy a new rock crushing machine to replace an existing one. The purchase price of a new machine is $60,000. Estimates for the operating and maintenance (O&M) costs for the new machine are that it will be $4,500 the first year and will then increase $3,000 per year every year there after. The new machine follows a declining balance depreciation model. The salvage values after the first year is estimated to be $48,000. The company uses a MARR of 6.5% for all financial analysis. Determine the depreciation rate of the new rock crushing machine What is the Economic Life of the new machine and the minimum Equivalent Annual Cost (EAC)? Show ALL your calculations to justify your answer.

Bartlett Car Wash Co. is considering the purchase of a new facility. It would allow Bartlett to increase its net income by $113,216 per year. Other information about this proposed project follows: Initial investment $ 524,150 Useful life 10 years Salvage value $ 55,000 Assume straight line depreciation method is used. Required: 1. Calculate the accounting rate of return for Bartlett. (Round your percentage answer to 2 decimal places.) 2. Calculate the payback period for Bartlett. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Ilana Industries, Inc., needs a new lathe. It can buy a new high-speed lathe for $1.4 million. The lathe will cost $49,000 per year to run, but it will save the firm $144,000 in labor costs and will be useful for 10 years. Suppose that for tax purposes, the lathe will be depreciated on a straight-line basis over its 10-year life to a salvage value of $450,000. The actual market value of the lathe at that time also will be $450,000. The discount rate is 10%, and the corporate tax rate is 20%. What is the NPV of buying the new lathe? (A negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign. Enter your answer in dollars not in millions. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
A new machine costing $150,000 is expected to save the McKaig Brick Company $11,000 per year for 5 years before depreciation and taxes. The machine will be depreciated on a straight-line basis for a 5-year period to an estimated salvage value of $0. The firm’s marginal tax rate is 40 percent.
