ight-line to zero over its 5-year life. It will be worth $66,600 at the end of that time. You will be able to reduce working capital by $92,500 (this is a one-time reduction). The tax rate is 21 percent and your required return on the project is 21 percent and your pretax cost savings are $203,750 per year. At what level of pretax cost savings would you be indifferent between accepting the project and not accepting it?

Answer:

total pretax annual savings = $210,941.06

Explanation:

initial outlay (year 0) = -$684,500 (cost of computer system) + $92,500 (reduction of net working capital) = -$592,000

depreciation expense per year = $684,500 / 5 = $136,900

net after tax cash value = $66,600 x (1 - 21%) = $52,614

net cash flows years 1 - 4 = [($203,750 - $136,900) x 79%] + $136,900 = $189,711.50

net cash flow year 5 = $189,711.50 + $52,614 = $242,325.50

using a 21% discount rate, the NPV = -$16,622.15

Since the NPV is negative, that means that the annual cost savings are not high enough to accept the project.

the point where the company would be indifferent between accepting or rejecting the project is when NPV = 0

this means that net cash flows must increase by $16,622.15 / 2.92595 (PV annuity factor, 21%, 5 periods) = $5,680.94

this is an after tax number, but a pretax annual cost saving = $5,608.94 / 0.79 = $7,191.06

total pretax annual savings = $203,750 + $7,191.06 = $210,941.06

net cash flows years 1 - 4 = [($210,941.06 - $136,900) x 79%] + $136,900 = $195,392.44

net cash flow year 5 = $195,392.44 + $52,614 = $248,006.44

NPV = 0

Ivenika [448]

Answer: Nothing

Explanation:

When Anastasia sells her Tesla common stock at the same time that Roman buys the same amount of Tesla stock, then Tesla will receive nothing.

Forur example, let's assume that Anastasia sells her Tesla common stock which was worth $2000 and Roman buys the same amount of Tesla stock, which was $2000. Then Tesla will get: $2000 - $2000 = 0. Therefore, the answer is nothing.

Veseljchak [2.6K]
Yes I would sacrifice potentially winning the state title. Using performance enhancing drugs is both morally wrong, and illegal. If my team was to win states I would want it to be because we deserved it, not because players were taking drugs. Not only that, but the players who took the drugs could be causing a lot of harm to their bodies, something that isn't worth a title.
