The Perez Company has the opportunity to invest in one of two mutually exclusive machines that will produce a product it will need for the foreseeable future. Machine A costs $9 million but realizes after-tax inflows of $3.5 million per year for 4 years. After 4 years, the machine must be replaced. Machine 8 costs $14 million and realizes after-tax inflows of $3 million per year for 8 years, after which it must be replaced. Assume that machine prices are not expected to rise because inflation will be offset by cheaper components used in the machines. The cost of capital is 8%. Using the replacement chain approach to project analysis, by how much would the value of the company increase if it accepted the better machine? Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer in millions. For example, an answer of $1.23 million should be entered as 1.23, not 1,230,000. Round your answer to two decimal places. million What is the equivalent annual annuity for each machine? Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answers in millions. For example, an answer of $1.23 million should be entered as 1.23, not 1,230,000. Round your answers to two decimal places.

Consider a project to supply Detroit with 27,000 tons of machine screws annually for automobile production. You will need an initial $4,600,000 investment in threading equipment to get the project started; the project will last for 5 years. The accounting department estimates that annual fixed costs will be $1,100,000 and that variable costs should be $205 per ton; accounting will depreciate the initial fixed asset investment straight-line to zero over the 5-year project life. It also estimates a salvage value of $475,000 after dismantling costs. The marketing department estimates that the automakers will let the contract at a selling price of $308 per ton. The engineering department estimates you will need an initial net working capital investment of $440,000. You require a return of 12 percent and face a tax rate of 23 percent on this project. a. Suppose you’re confident about your own projections, but you’re a little unsure about Detroit’s actual machine screw…
A company is looking at purchasing a new Zeiss CMM (precision measurement machine). They believe having this machine will allow them to get a new contract. The machine would cost $525,000. It would allow the manufacturer to produce 250 custom engine block heads per day (350 days per year) at a gross profit of $1.95 each, but the company would have to pay tax of 25% on their profit.
