New-Project Analysis The Campbell Company is considering adding a robotic paint sprayer to its production line. The sprayer’s base price is $1,080,000, and it would cost another $22,500 to install it. The machine falls into the MACRS 3-year class, and it would be sold after 3 years for $605,000. The MACRS rates for the first 3 years are 0.3333, 0.4445, and 0.1481. The machine would require an increase in net working capital (inventory) of $15,500. The sprayer would not change revenues, but it is expected to save the firm $380,000 per year in before-tax operating costs, mainly labor. Campbell’s marginal tax rate is 35%. What is the Year-0 cash flow? What are the net operating cash flows in Years 1, 2, and 3? What is the additional Year-3 cash flow (i.e., the after-tax salvage and the return of working capital)? If the project’s cost of capital is 12%, should the machine be purchased?
Saved Required information Pollution control equipment for a pulverized coal cyclone furnace is expected to cost $190,000 two years from now and another $120,000 3 years from now. If Monongahela Power wants to set aside enough money now to cover these costs, how much must be invested at an interest rate of 9% per year compounded weekly? NOTE: This is a multi-part question. Once an answer is submitted, you will be unable to return to this part. Solve using spreadsheet functions. The spreadsheet function used is PV(0.1731%, 104, -190000) + PV(0.1731%, 156,-120000)✓ The amount that must be invested by Monongahela Power is $
Problem 1: You are considering the purchase of one of two machines used in your manufacturing plant. Machine A has a life of two years, costs $80 initially, and then $125 per year in maintenance costs.
