You can buy a printing press for $80,000. You will have to pay labor costs of $20,000 per year due at the beginning of each year for 6 years. You can print and sell 2,000 books per year and sell each for $60 (at the end of each year). Variable costs are $12 per book. At the beginning of each year, you must have NWC equal to 20% of end-of-year net sales. The net working capital will be recouped when the project is terminated after 6 years. The printing press will depreciate to zero over 10 years. You think you can sell the printing press for $40,000 after 6 years. Tax rate is 35%. What are CF from Assets? What is NPV if interest rate is 8%?

Wermers Industries Inc. has developed a new drill press, model LS-88, that is designed to offer superior performance to a comparable drill press sold by Wermers’s main competitor. The competing drill press sells for $31,000 and needs to be replaced after 1,000 hours of use. It also requires $6,000 of preventive maintenance during its useful life. ModelLS-88’s performance capabilities are similar to the competing product with two important exceptions—it needs to be replaced only after 2,000 hours of use and it requires $7,000 of preventive maintenance during its useful life.

From a value-based pricing standpoint what is model LS-88’s economic value to the customer over its 2,000 hour life?
