Assume that Ernesto purchased a laptop computer on July 10 of year 1 for $3,000. In year 1, 80 percent of his computer usage was for his business and 20 percent was for computer gaming with his friends. This was the only asset he placed in service during year 1. Ignoring any potential §179 expense and bonus depreciation, answer the questions for each of the following alternative scenarios: (Use MACRS Table 1, Table 2.) (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your final answers to the nearest whole dollar amount. Leave no answer blank. Enter zero if applicable.)

a. What is Ernesto's depreciation deduction for the computer in year 1?

b. What would be Ernesto's depreciation deduction for the computer in year 2 if his year 2 usage was 75 percent business and 25 percent for computer gaming?

c. What would be Ernesto's depreciation deduction for the computer in year 2 if his year 2 usage was 45 percent business and 55 percent for computer gaming?

d. What would be Ernesto’s depreciation deduction for the computer in year 2 if his year 2 usage was 30 percent business and 70 percent for computer gaming?

A company is considering an 8-year project to expand into a new geographical area. The project requires a new machine, which would cost $230,000 FOB San Francisco, with a shipping cost of $8,000 to the new plant location. Installation expenses of $13,000 would also be required. This new machine would be classified as 7-year property for MACRS depreciation purposes. The project engineers anticipate that this equipment could be sold for salvage for $40,000 at the end of theproject. If the corporate tax rate is 31%, what is the after tax salvage cash flow for this new machine at the end of the project? (Answer to the nearest dollar.)
MACRS percentages for depreciation each year are as follows:
Year %
1 14.29 2 24.49 3 17.49 4 12.49 5 8.93 6 8.93 7 8.93 8 4.45

Herman Co. is considering a four-year project that will require an initial investment of $7,000. The base-case cash flows for this project are projected to be $14,000 per year. The best-case cash flows are projected to be $26,000 per year, and the worst-case cash flows are projected to be –$4,500 per year. The company’s analysts have estimated that there is a 50% probability that the project will generate the base-case cash flows. The analysts also think that there is a 25% probability of the project generating the best-case cash flows and a 25% probability of the project generating the worst-case cash flows.

What would be the expected net present value (NPV) of this project if the project’s cost of capital is 11%?

Herman now wants to take into account its ability to abandon the project at the end of year 2 if the project ends up generating the worst-case scenario cash flows. If it decides to abandon the project at the end of year 2, the company will receive a one-time net cash inflow of $4,750 (at the end of year 2). The $4,750 the company receives at the end of year 2 is the difference between the cash the company receives from selling off the project’s assets and the company’s –$4,500 cash outflow from operations. Additionally, if it abandons the project, the company will have no cash flows in years 3 and 4 of the project.

Using the information in the preceding problem, find the expected NPV of this project when taking the abandonment option into account.

Minden Company introduced a new product last year for which it is trying to find an optimal selling price. Marketing studies suggest that the company can increase sales by 5,000 units for each $2 reduction in the selling price. The company’s present selling price is $91 per unit, and variable expenses are $61 per unit. Fixed expenses are $836,400 per year. The present annual sales volume (at the $91 selling price) is 25,200 units.

Required:

1. What is the present yearly net operating income or loss?

2. What is the present break-even point in unit sales and in dollar sales?

3. Assuming that the marketing studies are correct, what is the maximum annual profit that the company can earn? At how many units and at what selling price per unit would the company generate this profit?

4. What would be the break-even point in unit sales and in dollar sales using the selling price you determined in (3) above (e.g., the selling price at the level of maximum profits)?
