On January 1, Year 1, Webb Construction Company overhauled four cranes, resulting in a slight increase in the life of the cranes. Such overhauls occur regularly at two-year intervals and have been treated as a maintenance expense in the past. Management is considering whether to capitalize this year’s $28,420 cash cost in the Cranes asset account or to expense it as a maintenance expense. Assume that the cranes have a remaining useful life of two years and no expected salvage value. Assume straight-line depreciation.

Required

a. Determine the amount of additional depreciation expense Webb would recognize in Year 1 and Year 2 if the cost were capitalized in the Cranes account.
b. Determine the amount of expense Webb would recognize in Year 1 and Year 2 if the cost were recognized as maintenance expense.
c. Determine the effect of the overhaul on cash flow from operating activities for Year 1 and Year 2 if the cost were capitalized and expensed through depreciation charges.
d. Determine the effect of the overhaul on cash flow from operating activities for Year 1 and Year 2 if the cost were recognized as maintenance expense.

Your company is deciding whether to invest in a new machine. The new machine will increase cash flow by $318,000 per year. You believe the technology used in the machine has a 10-year life; in other words, no matter when you purchase the machine, it will be obsolete 10 years from today. The machine is currently priced at $1,710,000. The cost of the machine will decline by $105,000 per year until it reaches $1,185,000, where it will remain.

  

If your required return is 13 percent, calculate the NPV today. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

Company is considering adding a new line to its product mix, and the capital budgeting analysis is being conducted by a MBA student. The production line would be set up in unused space (Market Value Zero) in Sugar Land’ main plant. Total cost of the machine is $350,000. The machinery has an economic life of 4 years and will be depreciated using MACRS for 3-year property class. The machine will have a salvage value of $35,000 after 4 years.

The new line will generate Sales of 1,750 units per year for 4 years and the variable cost per unit is $110 in the first year. Each unit can be sold for $210 in the first year. The sales price and variable cost are expected to increase by 3% per year due to inflation. Further, to handle the new line, the firm’s net working capital would have to increase by $30,000 at time zero (No change in NWC in years 1 through 3 and the NWC will be recouped in year 4). The firm’s tax rate is 40% and its weighted average cost of capital is 11%.
