A corporate expects to receive $36,144 each year for 15 years if a particular project is undertaken. There will be an initial investment of $100,705. The expenses associated with the project are expected to be $7,740 per year. Assume straight-line depreciation, a 15-year useful life, and no salvage value. Use a combined state and federal 48% marginal tax rate, MARR of 8%, determine the project's after-tax net present worth.

A firm has the opportunity to invest in a project having an initial outlay of $20,000. Net cash inflows (before depreciation and taxes) are expected to be $5,000 per year for five years. The firm uses the straight-line depreciation method with a zero salvage value and has a (marginal) income tax rate of 40 percent. The firms cost of capital is 12 percent. Compute the IRR and the NPV. Should the firm accept or reject the project?
An investment of $1.000.000 will be included in the 7-year MACRS class for depreciation. It would also require an additional $150,000 to invest in inventory and would add $50,000 to accounts payable. Will generate $400000 in revenue and $150000 in cash expenses annually. The tax rate is 21 per cent. What are the incremental cash flows for years 0, 1, 7 and 8?
A corporation bought land for $500,000, built a $1,000,000 farm building, and installed $700,000 worth of agricultural equipment. The plant was completed and operation begun on April 1. Yearly revenue for the project is expected to be $750,000 with expenses of $500,000. If the firm used MACRS for depreciation and pays taxes at the corporate rate what is the after-tax cash flow for this project in each year of the equipment's useful life? Calculate the present worth of the equipment if the company's MARR is 9 percent (ignore the value of the farm building).
It is desired to purchase a piece of equipment worth $77,000 that has a useful life of four years and a salvage value of $7,000 at the end of that period. It is depreciated by SDA. Taxes are paid at a rate of 50% and the company's MARR is 13%. what should be the benefit before depreciation and taxes that the equipment generates to justify its acquisition? Answer: $30,323.48.
In year 0 you purchase an asset for $500,000 and in year 1 you receive a positive cash flow of s100,000 from operating the asset. Following a MACRS 7-year depreciation schedule (year 1 recovery rate of 14.29 percent) and assuming you are in a 39% tax bracket, what is your year 1 after tax cash flow (ATCF) to the nearest $50 ? a) $400,000 b) $28,550 c) $11,250 d) $88,750 e) $380,750
A firm can purchase a centrifugal separator (5-year MACRS property) for $22,000. The estimated salvage value is $4,000 after a useful life of six years. Operating and maintenance (O&M) costs for the first year are expected to be $2,200. These O&M costs are projected to increase by $1,000 per year each year thereafter. The income tax rate is 24% and the MARR is 11% after taxes. What must the uniform annual benefits be for the purchase of the centrifugal separator to be economical on an after-tax basis?
A start-up biotech company is considering making an investment of $100,000 in a new filtration system. The associated estimates are summarized below: Annual receipts $75,000 Annual expenses $45,000 Useful life 8 years Terminal book value (EOY 8) $20,000 Terminal market value $0 Straight-line depreciation will be used, and the effective income tax rate is 20% . The after-tax MARR is 15% per year. Determine whether this investment is an attractive option for the company.
The Shell Corporation has a 34% tax rate and owns a piece of petroleum-drilling equipment that costs $119,000 and will be depreciated at a CCA rate of 30%. Shell will lease the equipment to others and each year receive $33,100 in rent. At the end of five years, the firm will sell the equipment for $31,600. All values are presented in today's dollars. Calculate the overall present worth of these cash flows with tax effects if market interest rate is 10% and annual inflation rate is 2%. (Note: Don't use the $ sign in your answer and round it up to 2 decimal places)

A new municipal refuse collection vehicle can be purchased for $84,000. Itsexpected useful life is six years, at which time the market value and book value will be zero. Before-tax cash flow (BTCF) will be +$18,000 per year over the six-year life of the vehicle. Solve, a. Use straight-line depreciation, an effective income tax rate of 40% and an after-tax MARR of 12% to determine the present worth of the investment. b. What is the after-tax internal rate of return? c. Is this vehicle a sound investment? Explain your answer.
SGS Golf Academy is evaluating different golf practice equipment. The "Dimple-Max" equipment costs $149,000, has a 4-year life, and costs $9,300 per year to operate. The relevant discount rate is 14 percent. Assume that the straight-line depreciation method is used and that the equipment is fully depreciated to zero. Furthermore, assume the equipment has a salvage value of $21,500 at the end of the project’s life. The relevant tax rate is 22 percent. All cash flows occur at the end of the year. What is the EAC of this equipment? Note: Your answer should be a negative value and indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.
