South Tel Communications is considering the purchase of a new software management system. The system is called B-lmage, and it i

s expected to reduce drastically the amount of time that
company technicians spend installing new software. South Tel's technicians currently spend 6,000 hours per year on installations, which costs South Tel $25 per hour. The owners of the B-lmage system claim that their software can reduce time on task by at least 25%. The system requires an initial investment of $55,000 and an additional investment of $10,000 for technician training on the new system. Annual upgrades will cost the firm $15,000 per year. The tax treatment of software purchases sometimes calls for amortization of the initial cost over time; sometimes the cost can be expensed in the year of the purchase. Before the tax experts are consulted and for purposes of this initial analysis, South Tel has decided that it will expense the cost of the software in the year of the expenditure. South Tel faces a 3096 tax rate and uses a 9% cost of capital to evaluate projects of this type.

a. Assume that South Tel has sufficient taxable income from other projects so that it can expense the cost of the software immediately. What are the free cash flows for the project for years zero through five?
b. Calculate the NPV and IRR for the project.

Answer:

Explanation:

South Tel Communications is considering the purchase of a new software management system. The system is called B-image, and it is expected to drastically reduce the amount of time that company technicians spend installing new software. South Tel's technicians currently spend 6,000 hours per year on installation which cost South Tel $25 per hour. The owners of the B-image system claim that their software can reduce time on task by at least 25%. The system requires an initial investment of $55,000 and an additional investment of$10,000 for technician training on the new system. Annual upgrades will cost the firm $15,000 per year. Because the investment is comprised of software, it can be fully expensed in the year of the expenditure (no depreciation). South Tel faces a 30% tax rate and uses a 9% cost of capital to evaluate projects of this type.

A. Assuming that South Tel has sufficient taxable income from other projects so that it can immediately expense the cost of the software, what are the free cash flows for the project for years zero through five?

Total (65,000)

Cash flow year 1 - 5

Saving on installations per year 450,000

Less: Annual upgrades ( 15,000)

Total 435,000

Less: Tax (30%) (130,500);

Total project free cash flow 304,500.answer

crimeas [40]

Answer:

The correct answer is B.

Explanation:

I had to look at the options so that I could solve the exercise correctly. The options are:

A) The forced vital capacity (FVC) is high.

B) The forced expiratory volume (FEV) is decreased.

C) Total lung capacity (TLC) is decreased.

D) Marked decrease in residual volume (RV).

The correct answer is option B. In people with chronic lung disease, FVC is decreased, FEV1.0 is decreased, and the ratio of FEV1.0 to FVC is decreased. Lung volume measurements indicate a large increase in VR, an increase in total lung Cc, and an elevation in the ratio of VR to TVC.

Have a nice day!

Daniel [21]
<h3>In the given scenario unemployment rate is 10% </h3>

Explanation:

In the given problem,

Number of People who are working is 90,000

Number of People who are not working but looking and available is 10,000

Unemployment rate = Percentage of the total labor force that is unemployed but actively looking for employment and ready to  work.  

Unemployment rate = ((Unemployed people * 100) / (Total people in an economy (Working + Available for work)))

Unemployment rate = ((10000 * 100) / (90000+10000))

Unemployment rate = (1000000 / 100000)

Hence, Unemployment rate = 10%
