Bird's Eye Treehouses, Inc., a Kentucky company, has determined that a majority of its customers are located in the Pennsylvania area. Therefore, it is considering using a lockbox system offered by a bank located in Pittsburgh. The bank has estimated that use of the system will reduce collection time by 1.5 days. Average number of payments per day 700 Average value of payment $ 650 Variable lockbox fee (per transaction) $ .10 Annual interest rate on money market securities 4.1 % a. What is the NPV of the new lockbox system? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) b. Suppose in addition to the variable charge that there is an annual fixed charge of $3,000 to be paid at the end of each year. What is the NPV now?

Can you please show me how to do this on excel with formulas. I am having a difficult time understanding how to incorporate the depreciation into the problem! Thank you

You are evaluating two different milling machines to replace your current aging machine. Machine A costs $248868, has a three-year life, and has pretax operating costs of $58935 per year. Machine B costs $406397, has a five-year life, and has pretax operating costs of $33004 per year. For both milling machines, use straight-line depreciation to zero over the project’s life and assume a salvage value of $40886. Your tax rate is 34 % and your discount rate is 10 %.

What is the EAC for Machine A?

Replacement Analysis

Although the Chen Company's milling machine is old, it is still in relatively good working order and would last for another 10 years. It is inefficient compared to modern standards, though, and so the company is considering replacing it. The new milling machine, at a cost of $40,000 delivered and installed, would also last for 10 years and would produce after-tax cash flows (labor savings and depreciation tax savings) of $8,300 per year. It would have zero salvage value at the end of its life. The Project cost of capital is 10%, and its marginal tax rate is 35%.
Should Chen buy the new machine?
