Tanya [424]

Answer:

a. Year 0 Net Cash Flows = $984,000

b. We have:

Year 1 net operating cash flows = $306,159

Year 2 net operating cash flows = $332,986

Year 3 net operating cash flows = $261,479

c. Additional Year 3- cash flow = $504,877

d. The machine should be purchased.

Explanation:

We start by first calculating the following:

Initial Investment = Base Price + Modification Cost = $940,000 + $25,000 = $965,000

Useful Life = 3 years

Depreciation in Year 1 = 0.3333 * $965,000 = $321,634.50

Depreciation in Year 2 = 0.4445 * $965,000 = $428,942.50

Depreciation in Year 3 = 0.1481 * $965,000 = $142,916.50

Book Value at the end of Year 3 = $965,000 - $321,634.50 - $428,942.50 - $142,916.50 = $71,506.50

After-tax Salvage Value = Salvage Value - (Salvage Value - Book Value) * Marginal tax rate = $624,000 – ($624,000 - $71,506.50) * 25% = $485,877

Initial Investment in NWC = $19,000

We can now proceed as follows:

a. What is the Year 0 net cash flow?

Year 0 Net Cash Flows = Initial Investment + Initial Investment in NWC = $965,000 + $19,000 = $984,000

b. What are the net operating cash flows in Years 1, 2, 3?

Year 1 net operating cash flows = (Pretax Cost Saving * (1 - tax)) + (tax * Depreciation in year 1) = ($301,000 * (1 – 0.25)) + (0.25 * $321,634.50) = $306,159

Year 2 net operating cash flows = (Pretax Cost Saving * (1 - tax)) + (tax * Depreciation in year 2) = ($301,000 * (1 – 0.25)) + (0.25 * $428,942.50) = $332,986

Year 3 net operating cash flows = (Pretax Cost Saving * (1 - tax)) + (tax * Depreciation in year 3) = ($301,000 * (1 – 0.25)) + (0.25 * $142,916.50) = $261,479

c. What is the additional Year 3- cash flow (i.e. after tax salvage and the return of working capital)?

Additional Year 3- cash flow = NWC recovered + After-tax Salvage Value = $19,000 + $485,877 = $504,877

d. If the project's cost of capital is 12%, should the machine be purchased?

This can be determined from the net present value (NPV) calculated as follows:

NPV = -$984,000 + ($306,159/1.12^1) + ($332,986/1.12^2) + ($261,479/1.12^3) + ($504,877/1.12^3) = $100,287.71

Since the NPV of the machine of $100,287.71 is positive, the machine should be purchased.

A convenience store owner is contemplating putting a large neon sign over his store. It would cost $50,000, but is expected to

Radda [10]

Answer: <em>No, since the value of the cash flows over the first two years are less than the initial investment</em>

Explanation:

value of cash flows for the first two years = $48,000 (24,000x2)

Initial Investment = $50000

Because the additional $48,000 profit during the two year payback is not grater than the $50,000 purchase, they should not put the large neon sign up.

In 2017, what was the maximum amount of money most employees throughout the united states could invest to either a 401(k) or 403

zheka24 [161]

In 2017, $26,000 was the maximum amount of money most employees throughout the united states could invest in either a 401(k) or 403(b).

401(k) plans may exclude workers who work less than 1,000 hours per year. This equates to approximately 19 hours per week for one year of employment. GAO found that 20 of the 80 plans it surveyed required an employee to work certain hours to participate in her 401(k) plan.

A defined contribution (DC) plan is a retirement plan, usually tax-advantaged, like his 401(k) or his 403(b), in which an employee contributes a fixed amount or percentage of salary. Pay into an account intended for funding purposes—their retirement benefits.
