  1. F2 Industries is considering the replacement of its old, fully depreciated dozer. Two upgraded used models under consideration. The Komatsu D39-22 with a cost of $190,000 with and an expected remaining life of 6 years. The D39-22 will provide after tax cash flows (labor savings and depreciation) of $52,000 per year. The second dozer is a Case D-9 which costs $360,000 has a remaining life of 6 years and will produce after tax cash flows of $98,300 per year. Because of the current economic conditions surrounding construction dozers are not expected to rise over the life of the project. Assume F2 Industries cost of capital is 14%. What is the Net Present Value Case D-9 dozer?

    $98,300

    $360,000

    $22,256

You have been asked by the president of the Farr Construction Company to evaluate the proposed acquisition of a new earth mover. The mover’s basic price is $200,000, and it would cost another $30,000 to modify it for special use. Assume that the mover falls into the MACRS 5-year class, it would be sold after 4 years for $60,000, and it would require an increase in net operating working capital (spare parts inventory) of $10,000. The earth mover would have no effect on revenues, but it is expected to save the firm $50,000 per year in before-tax operating costs, mainly labor. The firm’s marginal federal-plus-state tax rate is 40 percent and the project’s cost of capital is 10 percent. Evaluate the project using the NPV rule and the IRR rule.

Store Revenues Costs
101 $4,250 $4,439
102 2,377 3,194
103 5,963 5,406
104 4,282 4,373

113 3,702 3,006
114 5,417 4,955
115 2,874 3,211

a. Use the high-low method to estimate the fixed and variable portions of store costs based on revenues. (Round variable cost percentage answer to 1 decimal place. Enter fixed cost answer in thousands of dollars.)


b. Managers estimate that one of the proposed stores will have revenues of $4.0 million. What are the estimated monthly overhead costs, assuming no inflation? (Do not round variable cost percentage for your calculations. Round your intermediate calculations to the nearest whole dollar. Enter your answer in thousands of dollars.)

c. Managers are also considering a “mega-store” with revenues of $25 million. What are the estimated monthly overhead costs, assuming no inflation? (Do not round variable cost percentage for your calculations. Round your intermediate calculations to the nearest whole dollar. Enter your answer in thousands of dollars.)
