Ben Bader is considering selling an apartment building that he bought several years ago for $820,000, including transaction costs. He has claimed total (cumulative) depreciation (cost recovery allowances) of $255,000. He has made no capital improvements during his holding period.
Bader has been offered $900,000 for this property ($600,000 over the existing $600,000 mortgage note, to which the property will remain subject when sold). Terms of the offer are $90,000 in cash at the closing. Buyer assumes the $600,000 balance on the existing first mortgage note and signs a note and purchase-money mortgage for the remaining $210,000 of the purchase price. The $210,000 note provides for three equal annual payments including principle and interest, with interest at 12%
If Bader accepts this offer and incurs $50,000 of sales costs, what will be the resultant increase in his taxable income in the year of the transaction and in each of the three succeeding years, assuming he uses the installment method of reporting the sale? Bader has no imputed interest problem, and the property generate zero taxable income each year if it is not sold. Bader has no other outstanding debts.

Kolby’s Korndogs is looking at a new sausage system with an installed cost of $685,000. The asset qualifies for 100 percent bonus depreciation and can be scrapped for $91,000 at the end of the project’s 5-year life. The sausage system will save the firm $195,000 per year in pretax operating costs, and the system requires an initial investment in net working capital of $47,000. If the tax rate is 21 percent and the discount rate is 10 percent, what is the NPV of this project?

CSM Machine Shop is considering a four-year project to improve its production efficiency. Buying a new machine press for $411,000 is estimated to result in $152,000 in annual pretax cost savings. The press is eligible for 100 percent bonus depreciation and it will have a salvage value at the end of the project of $53,000. The press also requires an initial investment in spare parts inventory of $15,800, along with an additional $2,800 in inventory for each succeeding year of the project. The shop’s tax rate is 23 percent and its discount rate is 10 percent. Calculate the project's NPV.

| Suppose the average return on Asset A is 6.8 percent and the standard deviation is 8 percent, and the average return and standard deviation on Asset B are 3.9 percent and 3.3 percent, respectively. Further assume that the returns are normally distributed. Use the NORMDIST function in Excel® to answer the following questions. |
| a. | What is the probability that in any given year, the return on Asset A will be greater than 10 percent? Less than 0 percent? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answers as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) |

t year-end 2018, Wallace Landscaping’s total assets were $2.17 million, and its accounts payable were $505,000. Sales, which in 2018 were $2.8 million, are expected to increase by 15% in 2019. Total assets and accounts payable are proportional to sales, and that relationship will be maintained. Wallace typically uses no current liabilities other than accounts payable. Common stock amounted to $405,000 in 2018, and retained earnings were $280,000. Wallace has arranged to sell $120,000 of new common stock in 2019 to meet some of its financing needs. The remainder of its financing needs will be met by issuing new long-term debt at the end of 2019. (Because the debt is added at the end of the year, there will be no additional interest expense due to the new debt.) Its net profit margin on sales is 7%, and 60% of earnings will be paid out as dividends.
