James's House of Music wants to purchase Transposelt, a system that transposes any song in its database and prints sheet music in the requested key. This system allows singers to obtain sheet music in keys that are suitable to their vocal range. The software for the system costs $10,000; a new computer and a laser printer costing $3,500 will be needed to run the system. James estimates that the system will generate additional annual sales revenue of $23,000 and that annual cash expenditures will be $18,035. James uses straight-line depreciation. The software, computer, and printer will have a useful life of 5 years. The system will have a $150 salvage value at the end of its 5-year useful life.

Auto Shoppe is considering the purchase of a new engine computer code reader for $65,000. Auto Shoppe can charge $75 for the service of reading the codes from a single car engine, while the actual cost of the reading would only be $10 per car engine. Please answer the following two questions, based on this information. Suppose that the manager of Auto Shoppe is concerned about this purchase, and has stated that if Auto Shoppe were to buy the new engine computer code reader, “.the machine needs to pay for itself by the time we use it to read the codes of 200 car engines." The manager says this is because, “...those sorts of engine computer code readers go out of date very quickly, so if we don't get our money back soon, we will probably just wind up replacing the machine before it ever breaks even." What would Auto Shoppe need to charge for the service of reading each car engine, to break-even when it reads the codes from 200 car engines? a. $45 b. $150 Oc. $205 d. $335 Oe. $75

Heels, a shoe manufacturer, is evaluating the costs and benefits of new equipment that would custom fit each pair of athletic shoes. The customer would have his or her foot scanned by digital computer equipment; this information would be used to cut the raw materials to provide the customer a perfect fit. The new equipment costs $107,000 and is expected to generate an additional $43,000 in cash flows for five years. A bank will make a $107,000 loan to the company at a 15% interest rate for this equipment's purchase. Compute the recovery time for both the payback period and break-even time. (PV of $1. FV of $1.

Dr. Magneto is evaluating whether to open a private MRI clinic in leased office space in a local strip mall. The clinic will run for two years and then close. Before the clinic opens, the offices require $200,000 of renovations. Dr. Magneto will buy $20,000 of computer equipment and one MRI machine. The MRI machine (GE 3.0T Signa Excite HD) costs $2.4M. Assume that the renovations, computer equipment, and MRI are paid for at the beginning of the first year (t=0) and that all three are classified as 15-year property (with depreciation rates of 5% and 9.5% in the first two years). Assume that the MRI machine will be sold for $500,000 at the end of the second year of business at which time the computer equipment will be worthless. The clinic can perform 72 scans per week for 49 operational weeks per year and will charge $600 per scan. The clinic will need two technicians, two receptionists, and one office manager. Wages, salaries, and other payroll costs (i.e., health insurance premiums)…
NYU currently purchases a basic anti-virus computer package that protects university computers used by administrative staff and faculty. This basic service costs the university $7,000 annually, with no additional costs for any individual user. NYU could upgrade its computer protection services, purchasing a slightly enhanced product, Basic plus Bells, for an annual cost of $10,000 or the premium service, Basic plus Bells and Whistles, for an annual cost of $12,000. The table below provides information on how the two affected groups value these options (in total). Costs: Benefits: Staff Faculty Basic $7,000 $3,500 $5,000 Basic + Bells $10,000 $5,000 $7,000 Basic + Bells & Whistles $12,000 $7,000 $7,750 A. Which upgrade, if either, should NYU purchase?

Realforce is considering making a new mechanical keyboard. The company has spent $200,000 in research for a silent mechanical switch, which they can use on the new keyboard. Realforce estimates that they can sell $5,000 units of the new keyboard per year at $250 per unit for the next 4 years. The production cost per keyboard is $200. The fixed costs for the project will run $50,000 per year. To start the production, Realforce has to invest a total of $400,000 in manufacturing equipment, The equipment will be 100 percent depreciated over a straight line basis for the next 4 years and become valueless at the end of the project. The tax rate is 35 percent and the discount rate is 15 percent. a) What is the operating cash flow for this project? b) What is the project's NPV? c) Suppose that the manu facturing equipment will have a market value of $18,000 at the end of the project and the project requires an initial investment in net working capital of $10,000, which is fully recoverable at…
A grocery distribution center is considering whether to invest in RFID or bar code technology to track its inventory within the warehouse and truck loading operations. The useful life of the RFID and bar code devices is projected to be 5 years with minimal or zero salvage value. The bar code investment cost is $105,000 and can be expected to save at least $33,000 in product theft and lost items annually. The RFID system is estimated to cost $230,000 and will save $30,000 the first year, with an increase of $15,000 annually after the first year. For a 6% MARR, should the manager invest in the RFID system or the bar code system? Analyze incrementally using rate of return.
