A. Calculate each project’s payback period. For Project N

for project M (Annuity) Year 1 = 11,000 -> 1yr

Payback period = 28,500 ÷ 10,000 Year 2 = 10,000 -> 1yr
Payback period = 2.85 yrs Year 3 = 6,000 -> 0.67 yrs
9,000 2.67 yrs
Payback period = 2.67 yrs

B. Calculate the NPV for each project

for Project M = $10,000 x 2.914 - 28,500
Project M = 29,140 - 28,500
NVP = $ 640

For Project N PVIF PV=CF, x PVIF PV = 28,148

Year 1 = 11,000 0.877 x 9,647 Less: Project N

Year 2 = 10,000 0.769 x 7,690 Initial Investment = 27,000
Year 3 = 9,000 0.675 x 6,075 NPV = $1,148
Year 4 = 8,000 0.592 x 4,736
PV = $28,148

C. Calculate the internal rate of return (IRR) for each project. For Project M (Annuity)

would recommend. Explain why.

IRR 15.086% 16,194%

In terms of Payback Period Project N has lesser Payback Period.Net Present Value both is greater than
zero but project N is larger. IRR Accept Project N because greater than cost of capital Therefore, Project
N has a greater Return of Investment in shorter time than Project M.

GIVEN:

New Equipment: Old Equipment

Initial Cost = 75,000 Purchased 4yrs ago

Installation Cost = 5,000 Installation Cost = 50,000

Depreciated under MACRS 5 years recovery

5 years recovery period Salvage Value = 55,000

Investment in Working Capital = 15,000

Tax Rate= 40%

A. Calculate the book value of the old piece of equipment.

Book Value of old equipment using MARCS

= 50,00 x (0.20 + 0.32 + 0.19 + 0.12)

=$50,000 x 0.83 = $41,500

Book value = 50,000 -$ 41,500 = $8,500

B. Determine the taxes, if any, attributable to the sale of the old equipment
= $55,000 - $8,500 = $46,500

Taxes = 0.40 x $46,500 = $18,600

Taxes == $18,600

c. Find the initial investment associated with the proposed equipment replacement.

Problem 3:
A machine currently in use was originally purchased 2 years ago for $40,000. The
machine is
being depreciated under MACRS using a 5-year recovery period; it has 3 years of
usable life
remaining. The current machine can be sold today to net $42,000 after removal and
cleanup
costs. A new machine, using a 3-year MACRS recovery period, can be purchased at a
price of
$140,000. It requires $10,000 to install and has a 3-year usable life. If the new
machine is
acquired, the investment in accounts receivable will be expected to rise by
$10,000, the
inventory investment will increase by $25,000, and accounts payable will increase by
$15,000.
Earnings before depreciation, interest, and taxes are expected to be $70,000 for each of the
next
3 years with the old machine and to be $120,000 in the first year and $130,000 in the second
and
third years with the new machine. At the end of 3 years, the market value of the old machine
will
equal zero, but the new machine could be sold to net $35,000 before taxes. The firm is
subject to
a 40% tax rate.

Problem 4:

TOR most recently sold 100,000 units at $7.50 each; its variable operating costs are $3.00 per

unit, and its fixed operating costs are $250,000. Annual interest charges total $80,000, and the

firm has 8,000 shares of $5 (annual dividend) preferred stock outstanding. It currently has 20,000

shares of common stock outstanding. Assume that the firm is subject to a 40% tax rate.

Given:

Sales = 100,000 units

8,000 shares of 5 (dividend)

P=7.50 per unit

20,000 shares- common stock

VC= 3.00 per unit

FC=250,000

Annul Interest = 80,000

A. At what level of sales (in units) would the firm break even on operations (that is, EBIT $0)?
