The two machines shown are being considered for a chip manufacturing operation. Assume the MARR is a real return of 12% per year and that the inflation rate is 7% per year. Which machine should be selected on the basis of an annual worth analysis if the estimates are in (a) constant-value dollars, and (b) future dollars? Solve by hand and using a spreadsheet. Machine A B First cost, $ −150,000 −1,025,000 M&O, $ per year −70,000 −5,000 Salvage value, $ 40,000 200,000 Life, years 5 ∞
Falkland, Inc., is considering the purchase of a patent that has a cost of $50,000 and an estimated revenue producing life of 4 years. Falkland has a cost of capital of 8%. The patent is expected to generate the following amounts of annual income and cash flows: A. What is the NPV of the investment? B. What happens if the required rate of return increases?
Gina Ripley, president of Dearing Company, is considering the purchase of a computer-aided manufacturing system. The annual net cash benefits and savings associated with the system are described as follows: The system will cost 9,000,000 and last 10 years. The companys cost of capital is 12 percent. Required: 1. Calculate the payback period for the system. Assume that the company has a policy of only accepting projects with a payback of five years or less. Would the system be acquired? 2. Calculate the NPV and IRR for the project. Should the system be purchasedeven if it does not meet the payback criterion? 3. The project manager reviewed the projected cash flows and pointed out that two items had been missed. First, the system would have a salvage value, net of any tax effects, of 1,000,000 at the end of 10 years. Second, the increased quality and delivery performance would allow the company to increase its market share by 20 percent. This would produce an additional annual net benefit of 300,000. Recalculate the payback period, NPV, and IRR given this new information. (For the IRR computation, initially ignore salvage value.) Does the decision change? Suppose that the salvage value is only half what is projected. Does this make a difference in the outcome? Does salvage value have any real bearing on the companys decision?

a. What is the net present value (at the discount rate of 10%) of this project?b. Perot’s engineers have determined that spending $10 million more on development will allow them to add even more advanced features. Having a more advanced chip will allow them to price the chip $50 higher in both years ($870 for year 1 and $700 for year 2). What is the NPV of the project if this option is implemented?c. If sales are only 200,000 the first year and 100,000 the second year, what would the NPV of the project be? Assume the development costs and sales price are as originally estimated. Development cost - $1,250,000Estimated development time - 9 monthsPilot testing - $200,000Ramp-up cost - $400,000Marketing and support cost - $150,000/yrSales & Production volume - $60,000/yrUnit production cost - $100Unit price - $205Interest rate - 8%
