You are also considering another project that has a physical life of 3 years—that is, the machinery will be totally worn out after 3 years. However, if the project were terminated prior to the end of 3 years, the machinery would have a positive salvage value. Here are the project’s estimated cash flows: Using the 10% cost of capital, what is the project’s NPV if it is operated for the full 3 years? Would the NPV change if the company planned to terminate the project at the end of Year 2? At the end of Year 1? What is the project’s optimal (economic) life?
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?
Filkins Fabric Company is considering the replacement of its old, fully depreciated knitting machine. Two new models are available: Machine 190-3, which has a cost of $190,000, a 3-year expected life, and after-tax cash flows (labor savings and depreciation) of $87,000 per year; and Machine 360-6, which has a cost of $360,000, a 6-year life, and after-tax cash flows of $98,300 per year. Knitting machine prices are not expected to rise because inflation will be offset by cheaper components (microprocessors) used in the machines. Assume that Filkins’ cost of capital is 14%. Should the firm replace its old knitting machine? If so, which new machine should it use? By how much would the value of the company increase if it accepted the better machine? What is the equivalent annual annuity for each machine?

Zhang Company is considering the purchase of a new machine. Its invoice price is $200,000, freightcharges are estimated to be $4,000, and installation costs are expected to be $6,000. Salvage value ofthe new machine is expected to be zero after a useful life of 4 years. Existing equipment could beretained and used for an additional 4 years if the new machine is not purchased. At that time, thesalvage value of the equipment would be zero. If the new machine is purchased now, the existingmachine would be scrapped. Zhang’s accountant, Victor Wang, has accumulated the following dataregarding annual sales and expenses with and without the new machine.Without the new machine, Zhang can sell 10,000 units of product annually at a per unit selling price of$100. If the new unit is purchased, the number of units produced and sold would increase by 25%, andthe selling price would remain the same.The new machine is faster than the old machine, and it is more efficient in its usage of materials.…

BSU Inc. wants to purchase a new machine for $34,608, excluding $1,300 of installation costs. The old machine was bought five years ago and had an expected economic life of 10 years without salvage value. This old machine now has a book value of $1,900, and BSU Inc. expects to sell it for that amount. The new machine would decrease operating costs by $7,800 each year of its economic life.

Assume that your company is considering a new project and has collected the following information about the project. (Note: You may or may not need to use all of this information, use only the information that is relevant.) The project has an anticipated economic life of 4 years. The company will have to purchase a new machine. The machine will have an up-front cost of $2 million at Year O. The machine will be depreciated on a straight-line basis over 4 years (that is, depreciation expense will be $500,000 in each of Years 1-4). The company anticipates that the machine will last for four years, and that after four years, its salvage value will equal zero. If the company goes ahead with the proposed product, it will have an effect on the company's net operating working capital. At the outset, Year O, inventory will increase by $140,000 and accounts payable will increase by $40,000. At Year 4, the net operating working capital will be recovered after the project is completed. The project…
St. Johns River Shipyards is considering the replacement of an8-year-old riveting machine with a new one that will increase earnings before depreciationfrom $24,000 to $46,000 per year. The new machine will cost $80,000, and it will have anestimated life of 8 years and no salvage value. The new machine will be depreciated overits 5-year MACRS recovery period, so the applicable depreciation rates are 20%, 32%, 19%,12%, 11%, and 6%. The applicable corporate tax rate is 40%, and the firm’s WACC is 10%.The old machine has been fully depreciated and has no salvage value. Should the old rivetingmachine be replaced by the new one? Explain your answer.
A company is thinking when to replace its old machine. It has two choices: replace the old machine now, or replace it at the end of seven years. Currently, the old machine has a salvage value of $3 million and book value of $1.5 million. If it is not sold, it will require maintenance costs of $770,000 at the end of the year over the nextsix years. The depreciation expense for the machine is $300,000 per year. At the end of six years, the machine will have a salvage value of only $100,000 and a book value of $0. If the company replaces the old machine now, the new machine will cost $4.9 million and will require maintenance costs of $320,000 at the end of each year during its six years economic life. At the end of six years, the new machine will have a salvage value of $900,000. It willbe fully depreciated using the straight-line method. If the company replaces the old machine in six years, a new machine will cost $3.5 million. The company will need to purchase this machine regardless of…
