Assuming that the facility has a twelve-year depreciation life for tax purposes (i.e. it can be fully depreciated over twelve-years), compute the NPV for cach option and based on the cost, indicate your…
Ajax Leasing Services has been approached by Gamma Tools to provide lease financing for a new automated screw machine. The machine will cost $220,000 and will be leased by Gamma for five years. Lease payments will be made at the beginning of each year. Ajax will depreciate the machine on a straight-line basis of $44,000 per year down to a book salvage value of $0. Actual salvage value is estimated to be $30,000 at the end of five years. Ajax’s marginal tax rate is 40 percent. Ajax desires to earn a 12 percent after-tax rate of return on this lease. What are the required annual beginning-of-year lease payments?

. The Randolph company has decided to acquire a new truck. One alternative is to lease the truck on a 4 year guideline contract for a lease payment of $10,000 per year, with payments to be made at the end of each year. The lease would include maintenance. Alternatively, the company could purchase the truck outright for $40,000 (depreciated under Straight Line Method), financing the purchase by a bank loan for the net purchase price and amortizing the loan over a 4-year period at an interest rate of 10% per year. Under the borrow to purchase arrangement, the company would have to maintain the truck at a cost of $1,000 per year, payable at year end. It has residual value of $10,000, which is the expected market value after 4 years, when the company plans to replace the truck irrespective of whether it leases or buys. The tax rate is 40%. So what is the company's PV cost of leasing? What is the company's PV cost of owning? Should the truck be leased or purchased?
XYZ is evaluating a project that would require the purchase of a piece of equipment for $580,000 today. During year 1, the project is expected to have relevant revenue of $756,000, relevant costs of $199,000, and relevant depreciation of $136,000. XYZ would need to borrow $580,000 today to pay for the equipment and would need to make an interest payment of $30,000 to the bank in 1 year. Relevant net income for the project in year 1 is expected to be $322,000. What is the tax rate expected to be in year 1? A rate equal to or greater than 19.95% but less than 24.42% A rate equal to or greater than 28.03% but less than 37.53% A rate equal to or greater than 37.53% but less than 51.10% A rate equal to or greater than 24.42% but less than 28.03% A rate less than 19.95% or a rate greater than 51.10%
An electric company must decide between two options for managing the blowdown water from its cooling tower. Option 1 is to continue the lease on 50 acres of land for another 5-year period and dispose of the water by spray irrigation. The landowner will move the pipe around as necessary and maintain the spray nozzles and valves. The previous lease cost $125,000 per year with payments due midway through each year. Now the landowner will require beginning of year payments of $180,000 each year. Option 2, which releases the 50 acre tract of land, involves purchasing a treatment system that will allow the recycling of most of the blowdown water. This system will have an initial cost of $1,600,000 and an AOC of $58,000 per year. However, the company will save $220,000 per year because it will not have to purchase as much make-up water as with option 1. At the end of 5 years, the company will be able to sell the equipment back to the local equipment supplier for 30% of the first cost. If the…

Oregon Machinery Company (OMC) has decided to acquire a screw machine. One alternative is to lease the machine on a three-year contract for a lease payment of $22,000 per year with payments to be made at the beginning of each year. The lease would include maintenance. The second alternative is to purchase the machine outright for $97,000, financing the investment with a bank loan for the net purchase price and amortizing the loan over a three-year period at an interest rate of 12% per year (annual payment = $40, 386).

The machine falls into the seven-year MACRS classification, and it has a salvage value of $45,000, which is the expected market value at the end of year 3. After three years, the company plans to replace the machine regardless of whether it leases or buys. The tax rate is 40%, and the MARR is 15%.(a) What is OMC's PW cost of…
The Spartan Technology Company has a proposed contract with the Digital Systems Company of Michigan. The initial investment in land and equipment will be $320,000. Of this amount, $260,000 is subject to five-year MACRS depreciation. The balance is in nondepreciable property. The contract covers six years; at the end of six years, the nondepreciable assets will be sold for $60,000. The depreciated assets will have zero resale value. Use Table 12-12. The contract will require an additional investment of $59,000 in working capital at the beginning of the first year and, of this amount, $39,000 will be returned to the Spartan Technology Company after six years. The investment will produce $91,000 in income before depreciation and taxes for each of the six years. The corporation is in a 25 percent tax bracket and has a 8 percent cost of capital. a. Calculate the net present value. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places.) Net present value b. Should…

The Company owns a machine with a value of $50,000 and a 5-year useful life. The estimated salvage value in five years is $10,000. The number of payments will be five (5) and the first payment is due immediately. The remaining payments are due at the end of each of the next four years. Assume your client desires a 10% rate of return. What amount of payment should be specified in the lease contract? Consider the salvage value. When you consider the salvage value, in Excel, the future value is a negative number, and the present value is positive. State your answer without commas or dollar signs, and no decimals.
