P27-9 Deposits in Leasing [LO3]The Wildcat Oil Company is trying to decide whether to lease or buy a new computer-assisted drilling system for its oil exploration business. Management has decided that itmust use the system to stay competitive; it will provide $1.7 million in annual pretax costsavings. The system costs $7.3 million and will be depreciated straight-line to zero overfive years. Wildcat's tax rate is 36 percent, and the firm can borrow at 6 percent. LambertLeasing Company has offered to lease the drilling equipment to Wildcat for payments of$1,680,000 million per year. Lambert's policy is to require its lessees to make paymentsat the start of the year.Many lessors require a security deposit in the form of a cash payment or other pledgedcollateral. Suppose Lambert requires Wildcat to pay a $200,000 security deposit at theinception of the lease.

7. Problem 12.08 (New Project Analysis) A-Z dofice еВook You must evaluate the purchase of a proposed spectrometer for the R&D department. The base price is $80,000, and it would cost another $12,000 to modify the equipment for special use by the firm. The equipment falls into the MACRS 3-year class and would be sold after 3 years for $28,000. The applicable depreciation rates are 33%, 45%, 15%, and 7%. The equipment would require an $9,000 increase in net operating working capital (spare parts inventory). The project would have no effect on revenues, but it should save the firm $52,000 per year in before-tax labor costs. The firm's marginal federal-plus-state tax rate is 35%. a. What is the initial investment outlay for the spectrometer, that is, what is the Year 0 project cash flow? Enter your answer as a positive value. Round your answer to the nearest cent. 2$ b.

BE12.4 Caine Bottling Corporation is considering the purchase of a new bottling machine. The machine would cost $200,000 and has an estimated useful life of 8 years with zero salvage value. Management estimates that the new bottling machine will provide net annual cash flows of $34,000. Management also believes that the new bottling machine will save the company money because it is expected to be more reliable than other machines, and thus will reduce downtime. How much would the reduction in downtime have to be worth in order for the project to be acceptable? Assume a discount rate of 9%. (Hint: Calculate the net present value.) Compute net present value and profitability index.
Exercise 14-6 (Algo) Simple Rate of Return Method [LO14-6] The management of Ballard MicroBrew is considering the purchase of an automated bottling machine for $57,000. The machine would replace an old piece of equipment that costs $15,000 per year to operate. The new machine would cost $7,000 per year to operate. The old machine currently in use is fully depreciated and could be sold now for a salvage value of $24,000. The new machine would have a useful life of 10 years with no salvage value. Required: 1. What is the annual depreciation expense associated with the new bottling machine? 2. What is the annual incremental net operating income provided by the new bottling machine? 3. What is the amount of the initial investment associated with this project that should be used for calculating the simple rate of return? 4. What is the simple rate of return on the new bottling machine? (Round your answer to 1 decimal place i.e. 0.123 should be considered as 12.3%.)
2| Randi Corp. is considering the replacement of some machinery that has zero book value and a current market value of $3,800. One possible alternative is to invest in new machinery that costs $31,000. The new equipment has a four-year service life and an estimated salvage value of $4,500, will produce annual cash operating savings of $10,400, and will require a $3,200 overhaul in year 3.

V14 Steadman Company is considering an investment in a new machine for an independent five-year project. The machine’s cost is $837,500 with no salvage value at the end of five years. Net cash inflows from the project are expected to be $252,500 annually. Steadman would depreciate the machine using the MACRS schedule, and the machine qualifies as a 5-year asset. Steadman uses a discount rate of 8%, and its tax rate is 30%. Required: 1. Determine the after-tax net income and after-tax cash flows from the investment. Refer to Exhibit 12.4 for the 5-year MACRS deprecation schedule. 2. Determine the NPV of the project. 3. Determine the IRR of the project. 4. Determine the payback period of the project, assuming that cash flows occur evenly in each year. 5. Determine the book (accounting) rate of return using both (a) the initial investment as the denominator and (b) the average book value of the investment as the denominator.
11.2 The Wellington Construction Company is considering acquiring a new earthmover. The mover's basic 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-year class. It will be sold after four years for $30,000. The purchase of the earthmover will have no effect on revenues, but it is expected to save the firm $35,000 per year in before-tax operating costs, mainly labor. The firm's marginal tax rate (federal plus state) is 25%, and its MARR is 10%.
