Although the Chen Company’s milling machine is old, it is still in relatively good working order and would last for another 10 years. It is inefficient compared to modern standards, though, and so the company is considering replacing it. The new milling machine, at a cost of $110,000 delivered and installed, would also last for 10 years and would produce after-tax cash flows (labor savings and depreciation tax savings) of $19,000 per year. It would have zero salvage value at the end of its life. The project cost of capital is 10%, and its marginal tax rate is 25%. Should Chen buy the new machine?

A design firm is considering investing in a software suite that costs $200,000. It estimates that the software will allow it to better present its design ideas and generate an additional revenue of $70,000 per year for each of the next 4 years. At the end of those 4 years, the firm will need to upgrade its software and the software suite would have negligible salvage value. Due to changes in the economy, the design firm is reevaluating its MARR - it is not sure whether it should be 9%, 12%, or 14%. Calculate the present worth at each of these MARRS, and determine for which values of the MARR the investment will be economically justified. Click here to access the TVM Factor Table calculator. PW(9%): 2$ PW(12%): $ PW(14%): Justified when MARR is %. Carry all interim calculations to 5 decimal places and then round your final answers for the PWs to a whole number and for the IRR to 1 decimal place. The tolerance is ±20 for the PWs and ±0.2 for the IRR.

The Fine Clothing Factory wants to replace an old machine with a new one. The old machine can be sold to a small factory for R10 000. The new machine would increase annual revenue by R150 000 and annual operating expenses by R60 000. The new machine would cost R360 000. The estimated useful life of the machine is 12 years with zero salvage value. Using Average rate of return (ARR), Should Fine Clothing Factory purchase the machine if management desired rate of return of 15% on all capital investments? Show all the calculations and motivate your answer.
A firm is considering purchasing equipment that will reduce costs by $40,000. The equipment costs $300,000 and has a salvage value of $50,000 and a life of 7 years.

Assume that a company is considering purchasing a machine for $100,000 that will have a seven-year useful life and no salvage value. The machine will lower operating costs by $18,000 per year. The company also expects this investment to provide qualitative benefits that it is struggling to incorporate into its financial analysis. Assuming the company's required rate of return is 17% and the net present value of the investment before considering the qualitative benefits is $(29,404), the minimum dollar value per year that must be provided by the machine's qualitative benefits to justify the $100,000 investment is closest to: Multiple Choice O O о O $7,787. $8,247. $7,497. $8,067.
