Mississippi River Shipyards is considering the replacement of an 8-year-old riveting machine with a new one that will increase e

arnings before depreciation from $27,000 to $54,000 per year. The new machine will cost $82,500, and it will have an estimated life of 8 years and no salvage value. The new machine will be depreciated over its 5-year MACRS recovery period; so the applicable depreciation rates are 20%, 32%, 19%, 12%, 11%, and 6%. The applicable corporate tax rate is 40%, and the firm's WACC is 12%. The old machine has been fully depreciated and has no salvage value.
Required:

Solution :

Calculating the (NPV) Net Present value for the following matters to check the feasibility of the replacement of an 8 year old riveting machine with the new one :

Let

A = Year (n)

B = Initial outlay

C = Five-year MACRS depreciation percentage

D = Depreciation with MACRS Method (D)

E = Savings in earnings before depreciation

F = Taxable Income (earnings before depreciation - depreciation

G = Income taxes (Taxable Income *40%)

H = \text{After-Tax Net} cash flow \text{(Taxable income - taxes + depreciation)}

I = PV of \text{Net cash flow} at the rate 12\%= NCF/ (1+WACC\%)^n

A          B          C          D             E            F             G             H              I

0      82,500                                                                        -82,500    -82,500

1                       20%   16500     27000   10500    4200     22800      20357.14

2                      32%   26400    27000    600         240      26760      21332.91

3                       19%   15675      27000  11325      4530      22470      15993.70

4                       12%   9900       27000  17100     6840      20160       12812.04

5                       11%    9075       27000  17925     7170      19830        11252.07

6                        6%   4950       27000   22050   8820     18180        9210.55

8                        0%    0             27000   27000   10800   16200      6542.91

NPV                                                                                                    $22,329.39

As the NPV, the project is positive ($22,329.39) and so the company should replace the 8 year old riveting machine with the new one.

Answer:

$1140.28

Explanation:

The computation of the net present value of this investment is shown below:-

= Annual Cash flows × Present Value of Annuity Factor (r , n) - Initial Investment

as

Annual cash flows = $8600

Present Value of Annuity Factor (r , n)

r = 10% and n = 4 years

So, the Present Value of Annuity Factor will be the sum of the present value of 4 years at 10%

For Year 1 = 0.9091

For Year 2 = 0.8264

For Year 3 = 0.7513

For Year 4 = 0.6830

Total = 3.1698

Therefore,

Net Present Value = (Cash inflow × Total) -

Initial Investment

= ($8600 × 3.1698) - $26,120  

= $27,260.28 - $26,120

= $1140.28

Determine the capitalized cost of a permanent roadside historical marker that has a first cost of $75,000 and a maintenance cost
densk [106]

Answer:

The capitalized cost is $ 84,667.20

Explanation:

First of all please note that the cost of $ 75,000 is already the present cost.

The cost of $3200 which occurs every 3 years can be converted into a value using factor A/F for one life cycle.

The capitalized cost then can be calculated as follows :

CC = $ 75,000 + $ 3200(A/F, 10%, 3 years)/interest

CC = $ 75,000 + $ 3,200(0.3021)/0.1

CC = $ 75,000 + $ 9,667.2

CC = $ 84,667.20

"_____ are groups of concerned citizens who band together to try to influence the business practices of specific industries, bus
Nastasia [14]

Advocacy groups are groups of concerned citizens who band together to try to influence the business practices of specific industries, businesses, and professions.

Explanation:

Advocacy groups are important components of consumer rights in the capitalistic market and are essential for maintaining good business practices in the capitalistic society where competition can take a hold over the moral situation that should in  a sense dominate.

The advocacy groups that work this way are the ones who are a group of concerned citizens who band together to try to influence the business practices of specific industries, businesses, and professions. This is important for consumer rights for this sector to be strong.

Your $6100 investment grows to $12200 over the course of 9 years compounded quarterly. what interest rate did you receive on you
k0ka [10]
The formula is
A=p (1+r/k)^kt
A future value 12200
P present value 6100
R interest rate ?
K compounded quarterly 4
T time 9 years

Set the equation and solve for r (interest rate)
12200=6100 (1+r/4)^(4×9)
Divide both sides by 6100
12200/6100=(1+r/4)^(36)
2=(1+r/4)^(36)
Take the root of 36 for both sides
2^(1/36)=1+r/4
R= (2^(1/36)-1)×4
R=(2^(1÷36)−1)×4
R=0.0778×100
R=7.78%

Hope it helps!
