The machine had an expected life of three years at the time of purchase and an
estimated salvage value of $200 at the end of the three years. The machine was
depreciated at 25%. The division manager reports that a new felt press that
makes even smoother felt can be purchased for $12,000 (including installation).
The new felt press will expand sales from $10,000 to $15,000 a year because
the new fashion is for smoother felt. Further, it will reduce labour and raw
materials usage sufficiently to cut operating costs from $7,000 to $5,000. (Note
that incremental operating costs are negative.) The new machine has an
estimated salvage value of $2,000 at the end of two years. The new machine
requires an increase in felt inventory of $1,000. The old machine’s current
market value is $1,000. Taxes are 40%, and the firm’s cost of capital is 10%.
What are the incremental cash flows in years 1 and 2 of the replacement

Bobby Jones, the club pro at Pebble Beach Golf Club, is considering
replacing his fleet of golf carts. He bought the existing fleet of 100 EZ-GO
carts two years ago for $2,000 per cart. He is considering replacing them
with a new model Club Car. Each Club Car has a GPS, a cooler, and a
ball/club cleaner. Each Club Car costs $3,000. The carts are in Class 43
with a 30% depreciation rate. If he sold the EZ-GO carts today he could
get $750 for each cart. One advantage of buying the new carts is that
they are more durable and so Bobby can carry a smaller inventory of
spare parts. Bobby figures his inventory will drop by $25,000. If Bobby
goes ahead with the golf cart replacement, what are the initial cash
flows? Assume a tax rate of 35%

An increasingly popular trend in mountain biking is to
remove the chain and coast down the mountain. This has
reduced demand for crank sets, chains, and derailleurs. As
a result, Endo Mountain Bikes Inc. is shutting down its
bicycle propulsion plant. It purchased the plant 2 years ago
for $320,000. It can sell the plant today for $184,237.1. The
plant is in Class 43 with a depreciation rate of 30%. When
the plant is closed, Endo’s net working capital will decrease
by $50,000. EBITDA in the final year is $270,000. Endo’s tax

rate of 30%. The machine can be sold for $500,000 at the end of the three years.
Dr. Thompson estimates that he can perform 2,500 scans annually at $700 per
scan for $1.75M of annual revenues. Dr. Thompson will lease office space in a
local strip-mall and estimates that annual operating expenses will be $550,000
(including rent, salaries, and wages). Dr. Thompson plans to offer credit to his
customers. He expects to have about 45 days of sales in accounts receivable, or
about $300,000. He has arranged venture funding from Oscar Acosta who
expects a return of 10% on his invested capital. The tax rate is 35%. Answer the
following questions to determine if the project is worth undertaking.

POM Bakery is considering replacement of a custard injecting
machine with a new high-speed injector, which can fill twice as many
cakes per hour as the old machine. The existing injection machine
was purchased 2 years ago for $4M. It could be sold today for $2M
and its expected salvage value in three years is $0.5M. The injectors
are in Class 43 with a 30% depreciation rate. The new custard
injector costs $4M. The new machine will be sold for $1.5M at the
end of 3 years. The new machine will increase EBITDA by $700,000
per year. The company’s tax rate is 40% and its cost of capital is 12%.
What are the annual operating cash flows in the first year after
replacement? (Round your answer to the nearest dollar.)

You have been hired as a financial analyst to do a
feasibility study of a new video game for Passivision.
Marketing research suggests that there is a 50%
probability that Passivision can sell 24,000 units per year
at $62.50 net cash flow (after tax) per unit for the next 10
years. And 50% probability of just selling 10,000 units.
The relevant discount rate is 10%.
The required initial investment is $7 million.

Old Tom Morrison Golf Inc. is evaluating a new product: high
compression golf balls. The ball is tentatively called the
"Guttie." The production line for the Guttie would be set up
in an unused section of Morrison’s main plant. The
machinery will cost $240,000. Morrison’s inventories would
have to be increased by $30,000 to handle the new line. The
project is expected to last 2 years with estimated EBITDA of
$200,000 in each year. The machinery has an expected
salvage value of $40,000 at the end of two years. Robertson’s
tax rate is 30%. What are operating cash flows in the first

Sleep Comfort Corp. is considering a new product: the
Ejector Bed. The Ejector Bed allows either person (left
or right) to eject the other person off of the bed at the
touch of a button. The production equipment and
facilities will cost $500 million. The project will last two
years by which time the equipment and facilities will be
sold for $150 million. Earnings before interest, taxes,
and depreciation are forecast to be $400 million in both
years. The project will require an increase in net
working capital of $25 million, which will be liquidated
at the end of year two. The company's cost of capital is

The Rumpel Company purchased a felt press last year at a cost of
$7,500. The machine has worn out quickly and is slowing
production. It could be sold today for $4,000. The division
manager reports that, for $12,000 (including installation), a new
felt press can be bought. Two years after replacement the old
press can be sold for $200 and the new press will be worth $2,000.
The new press will increase EBITDA by $7,000, but, to sustain the
higher rate of production, the company will need additional felt
inventory of $3,000. Taxes are 40%. Assume that depreciation is

Panametric Automotive produces dingle arms for
automatic transmissions. It has historically stamped the
arms but is now considering a new automated milling
machine called the Turbo Encabulator. The stamping press
was purchased 3 years ago for $4 million. It could be sold
today for $2 million and its expected salvage value at the
end of its life in 2 years is $0.5M. The Turbo Encabulator
costs $3 million and could be sold for $1.5 million at the
end of 2 years. The Turbo Encabulator can produce more
dingle arms, so EBITDA will increase by $800,000. The
new machine requires that Panametric hold $250,000
more spare parts inventory. Assume that depreciation is
not tax deductible. The tax rate is 40%

Huck Long is the VP of production at Discraft Inc., manufacturer
of freestyle, golf, and ultimate discs. The R&D team has
designed a new 174gram driver for disc golf. The driver is both
more stable and longer. The secret to the disc is a new polymer.
To mix the new polymer in large batches, Discraft needs a new
mixer/agitator. Huck is considering two alternatives: Mixer A
and Mixer B. Mixer A is expected to have a four year life and
Huck estimates that its NPV is $50,000. Mixer B is expected to
have a five year life and Huck estimates that its NPV is $60,000.
Discraft’s cost of capital is 10%. Use the equivalent annual
annuity technique to compare the two alternatives. What is the
annual annuity amount of each, and which should Huck
choose?

Bob Cratchit, a new analyst at Scrooge & Marley Inc., has prepared a
capital budget for the Tiny Tim project. He is scheduled to present his
analysis at a board meeting in one hour. Bob just received an email from
his boss, Fred Fezziwig, indicating that the capital budget is missing a
critical piece of machinery with a capital cost of $150,000. The machine
would be purchased at the outset of the project (Year 0). The machinery
is in Class 8 with a depreciation rate of 20%. The machine will be sold for
$100,000 at the end of the two-year project. The tax rate is 35% and the
weighted average cost of capital is 9%. No other element of the capital
budget would be affected. Assume that all cash flows occur at year-end
(except for the purchase of equipment). What is the reduction in NPV
associated with the inclusion of the missing machinery?
