udy has just completed the development of a better face shield for health workers. The new product is expected to produce annual revenues of $150,000. Judy requires an investment in an advanced 3D Printer costing $9000.34 The project has an expected life of 5 years based upon the development and dissemination of a vaccine for coronavirus. The 3D printer will have $3000 salvage value as the market for 3D printers will be flooded as demand plummets for face shields. In order to produce the face shields Judy must maintain a large inventory of plastic pellets. Therefore, working capital is expected to increase by $14,999.00 However, Judy will only recover $1278 of working capital at the end of the products life cycle. Annual operating expenses are estimated at $145,000. The required rate of return is 6%. • Calculate the Net Present Value • Prepare a schedule of projected annual cash flows

The required rate of return on investments is 10%. Q. What is the expected increase in annual net income from investing in the improvements?
You are evaluating a new project for Globex Corporation as the company is planning to launch a new and very efficient mobile device named Meta-5050. The new product is expected to run for 5 years. To produce this new product, Globex needs to purchase new equipment that will cost $750,000. The company needs to spend another $10,000 for shipping and installation. You estimate the sales price of Meta-5050 to be $650 per unit and sales volume to be 800 units in year 1; 1,400 units in years 2-4; and 500 units in year 5. The cost of the contents, packaging and shipping are expected to be $225 per unit and the annual fixed costs for this project are $150,000 per year. The equipment will be depreciated straight-line to zero over the 5-year project life. The actual market value (salvage value) of these assets at the end of year 5 is expected to be $35,000. If this project is taken up, inventory will increase by $72,000, accounts receivable will increase by $36,850, and accounts payable will…
A Hilti PP11 pipe laser can be mounted inside or on top of a pipe, a tripod, or in a manhole to provide fast and accurate positioning and alignment of pipe sections. Jordon Construction is building a 23-mile pipeline through the desert to dispose of reverse osmosis concentrate by injection into a fractureddolomite formation. The PP11 laser can reduce construction costs through time savings by $9000 per month. What is the projected future worth of the savings over 2 years, if they start 1 month from now and the interest rate is 1% per month?
In a bio-based material recycling company, the operation managers are considering a twin-screw extruder with a price of 12,000 OMR and another 2,000 OMR will be spent for shipping and installation of the extruder. The estimated net income generated from this machine is 3,500 OMR per year. The extruder will be used for 5 years, and then it will be sold for an estimated market value of 2,500 OMR. The extruder MARCS property class is 5 years. If the effective income tax rate (t) is 40% and the after-tax MARR is 10%. (a) What is the after-tax IRR for this project?

A simple, direct space heating system is currently being used in a professional medical office complex. An upgraded “variable air-volume system” retrofit can be purchased and installed for $200,000 (investment cost). Its power savings in the future will be 500,000 kilo-Watt hours per year over its estimated life of 8 years. The cost of electricity is $0.10 per kilo-Watt hour. The firm’s MARR is 15% per year and the salvage value of the system in 8 years is $20,000. Use the "Intelligent Guess and Check Procedure" AND linear interpolation to calculate the IRR of this project. In your supporting work you should mention how you chose your different interest rates (for example, "I chose the MARR as my first guess" and "I tried a larger interest rate because my PW(current rate) > 0" or "I tried a smaller interest rate because my PW(current rate) < 0"). Also, clearly show the linear interpolation equation you used to solve for the IRR. Enter your answer as a percentage with two…
AD, a pharmaceutical company, has developed a new drug that will supposedly cure COVID-19 and provide immunity to the general population. The results are so promising that the company will purchase land for $1M to build a manufacturing center that will produce this drug in sufficient quantities. This facility will cost $185 million to build. The project will take 10 years and will initially require $535 million in net working capital. Also, the company will spend $5 million on R&D and $4 million in marketing the drug to the general population. The drug will sell for $1,500 in the first five years. Anticipating improved efficiency the drug will sell for $1,250 in years 6 through 9 and $1,000 in year 10. Variable costs will be $400 per unit. Annual fixed costs will be 11% of that year’s total revenue. Marketing has projected annual sales as follows: PROJECT YEAR ANNUAL UNIT SALES 1 15,000 2 25,000 3 100,000 4 100,000 5 100,000 6…

Amazon is considering using high capacity drones that would make its product deliveries more efficient. For this project, $140,000 would need to be spent right away to buy the required fleet of drones. The drones will be losing their economic value in equal amount each year, fully over their 5-year economic lives. Once the drones' economic life is over, they would all be sold for $10,300 selling price to a new owner, and Amazon would then immediately purchase the same but brand-new drones for the same price as what it paid for the initial fleet of drones. When those drones' life is over, they would again be sold and, again, brand-new ones would be purchased - all for the same prices as for the initial drones, and so on, over and over. Additional information: • Amazon expects $10,100 in annual operating costs. . All future cash flows are year-end cash flows. • Amazon pays 24 percent tax rate on all taxable income. • Amazon requires an annual discount rate of 10 percent, and the rate is…
