7A) Quad Enterprises is considering a new three-year expansion project that requires an initial fixed asset investment of $2.9 million. The fixed asset will be depreciated straight-line to zero over its three-year tax life, after which time it will be worthless. The project is estimated to generate $2,190,000 in annual sales, with costs of $815,000. If the tax rate is 35 percent, what is the OCF for this project? Suppose the required return on the project is 12 percent. What is the project's NPV?
7B) In the previous problem, suppose the project requires an initial investment in net working capital of $300,000, and the fixed asset will have a market value of $210,000 at the end of the project. What is the project's Year 0 net cash flow? Year 1? Year 2? Year 3? What is the new NPV?
7C) Suppose the fixed asset actually falls into the three-year MACRS class. All the other facts are the same. What is the project's Year 1 net cash flow now? Year 2? Year 3? What is the new NPV?

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.)
