You are considering buying an already operating transfer station. The transfer site is operating under a lease with the regional council ending in 10 years. The lease will not be renewed once it expires. It will generate positive cash flows of $100,000, starting in 1 year to 9 years time. In year 10, the station will have no more room and the council has contractually required you to repair the land so town houses can be built on the site. This will cost you/the product $1,000,000. (a) What is the IRR for the project? (b) Should the project be adopted if your hurdle rate for investing is 5%?

4. A warehouse is currently sitting empty, but can be rented out to a third party for $100,000 a year. A project is proposed in the warehouse by your company which will require an investment of $200,000 and will be depreciated using MACRS over a five year life. At the end of the project in THREE YEARS, the machinery will be sold for $50,000. Products sold will be 20,000 units per year at $30 each. Variable costs will be 35 percent of sales. Fixed costs (not counting the warehouse) will be $20,000 per year. Working capital will be $50,000. The tax rate is 30 percent. If the interest rate is 10 percent, what is the NPV of this project?
A diesel generator for electrical power can be purchased by a remote community for $350,000 and used for 10 years, when its salvage value is $50,000. Alternatively, it can be leased for $42,500 a year. (Remember that lease payments occur at the start of the year.) The community’s interest rate is 7%. (a) What is the interest rate for buying versus leasing? Which is the better choice? (b) The community will spend $80,000 less each year for fuel and maintenance, than it currently spends on buying power. Should it obtain the generator? What is the rate of return for the generator using the best financing plan?
A town in Wyoming wants to drill a geothermal well to provide district heating steam and hot water for its businesses and residences. Aftergovernment subsidies, the capital investment for the well is $500,000, and the geothermal well will reduce natural gas consumption for steam and hot water production by $50,000 per year. The salvage value of the well is negligible. The simple payback period for this well is 10 years. If the MARR of the town is 8% per year and the life of the geothermal well is 25 years, what is the IRR for this project? Choose the closest answer below. (a) 6.2% (b) 9.1% (c) 8.8% (d) 10.3%.
3. You have been asked to evaluate investment of purchasing a parking lot under the following conditions: - The proposal is for a parking lot costing $4,000,000. The deck has an expected useful life of 15 years and a net salvage value of $625,000 (after tax adjustment). - The tenants have recently signed long-term leases, which leads you to believe that the current rental income of $250,000 per year will remain constant for the first five years, then the rental income will increase by 10% for every five-year interval over the remaining asset life. The estimated operating expenses, including income taxes, will be $65,000 for the first year and will increase by $6,000 each year thereafter. Considering an annual interest rate of 15%, what is the net present worth (NPW)? O $4M A = $250k $65k 5 A = $275k G=$6k S = $625k A = $302.5k 10 15 4. Would you accept the investment of the previous question? In other words, is it profitable?
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?
The Wellington Construction Company is considering acquiring a new earthmover. The mover’sbasic price is $90,000, and it will cost another$18,000 to modify it for special use by the company.This earthmover falls into the MACRS five-yearclass. It will be sold after four years for $30,000. Thepurchase of the earthmover will have no effect onrevenues, but it is expected to save the firm $35,000per year in before-tax operating costs, mainly labor.The firm’s marginal tax rate (federal plus state) is40%, and its MARR is 10%.(a) Is this project acceptable, based on the mostlikely estimates given?(b) Suppose that the project will require an increasein net working capital (spare-parts inventory) of$5,000, which will be recovered at the end ofyear 4. Taking this new requirement into account,would the project still be acceptable?(c) If the firm’s MARR is increased to 18% and withthe working capital requirement from (b) not ineffect, what would be the required savings inlabor so that the project…
10) Neighborhood Savings Bank is considering leasing $100,000 worth of computer equipment. A 4 year lease would require payments in advance of $22,000 per year. The bank does not currently pay income taxes and does not expect to have to pay income taxes in the foreseeable future. If the bank purchased the computer equipment, it would depreciate the equipment on a straight-line basis down to an estimated salvage value of $20,000 at the end of the 4th year. The bank's cost of secured debt is 14%, and its cost of capital is 20%. Calculate the net advantage to leasing. Years: 4 Loan amount: $100,000 Cost of Debt 14.00% Cost of Capital 20.00% Lease Payment $22,000 Salvage Value $20,000…
A small strip mining cola company is trying to decide whether it should purchase or lease a new clamshell. If purchased, the shell will cost $150,000 and is expected to have a $65,000 salvage value after 6 years. Alternatively, the company can lease a clamshell for $20,000 per year, but the lease payment will have to be made at the beginning of each year. If the clamshell is purchased, it will be leased to other strip-mining companies whenever possible, an activity that is expected to yield revenue of $12,000 per year. If the company’s MARR is 15% per year, should the clamshell be purchased or leased on the basis of future worth analysis. (Enter the FW value of the selected alternative with proper positive or negative sign)
(Analysis of Alternatives) Assume that Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. has decided to surface and maintain for 10 years a vacant lot next to one of its stores to serve as a parking lot for customers. Management is considering the following bids involving two different qualities of surfacing for a parking area of 12,000 square yards. Bid A: A surface that costs $5.75 per square yard to install. This surface will have to be replaced at the end of 5 years. The annual maintenance cost on this surface is estimated at 25 cents per square yard for each year except the last year of its service. The replacement surface will be similar to the initial surface. Bid B: A surface that costs $10.50 per square yard to install. This surface has a probable useful life of 10 years and will require annual maintenance in each year except the last year, at an estimated cost of 9 cents per square yard. InstructionsPrepare computations showing which bid should be accepted by Wal-Mart. You may assume that the cost of…
A small strip-mining coal company is trying to decide whether it should purchase or lease a new clamshell. If purchased, the “shell” will cost $150,000 and is expected to have a $65,000 salvage value after 6 years. Alternatively, the company can lease a clamshell for only $20,000 per year, but the lease payment will have to be made at the beginning of each year. If the clamshell is purchased, it will be leased to other strip-mining companies whenever possible, an activity that is expected to yield revenues of $12,000 per year. If the company’s MARR is 15% per year, should the clamshell be purchased or leased on the basis of a future worth analysis? Assume the annual M&O cost is the same for both options.
An organization is planning to put up its own building. Two proposals being considered are:A. The construction of the building now to cost P 400,000 B. The construction of a smaller building now to cost P300,000 and at the end of 5 years, anextension to be added to cost P 200,000.By how much is proposal B more economical than proposal A if interest rate is 20% and depreciation to be neglected?
Tiger Towers, Inc. is considering an expansion of their existing business, student apartments. The new project will be built on some vacant land that the firm has just contracted to buy. The land cost $1,000,000 and the payment is due today. Construction of a 20-unit office building will cost $3 million; this expense will be depreciated straight-line over 30 years to zero salvage value; the pretax value of the land and building in year 30 will be $18,000,000. The $3,000,000 construction cost is to be paid today. The project will not change the risk level of the firm. The firm will lease 20 office suites at $20,000 per suite per year; payment is due at the start of the year; occupancy will begin in one year. Variable cost is $3,500 per suite. Fixed costs, excluding depreciation, are $75,000 per year. The project will require a $10,000 investment in net working capital. rdebt = 10.0% WACC = 11.20% D rasset = 15.0% tax rate = 34% requity = 24.9% rfree = 2% What is the unlevered after-tax…
