Question:
A machine costing $212,600 with a four-year life and an estimated $19,000 salvage value is installed in Luther Company's factory on January 1. The factory manager estimates the machine will produce 484,000 units of product during its life. It actually produces the following units: 122,100 in 1st year, 123,800 in 2nd year, 120,300 in 3rd year, 127,800 in 4th year. The total number of units produced by the end of year 4 exceeds the original estimate - this difference was not predicted. (The machine must not be depreciated below its estimated salvage value.)

Compute depreciation for each year (and total depreciation of all years combined) for the machine under units of production.

YEAR Depreciable Units Depreciation Per Unit Depreciation Expense
1 122,100 (correct) $0.40
2 123,800 (correct) $0.40
3 120,300 (correct) $0.40
4 117,800(correct) $0.40 47,120 (correct)

The Sisyphean Corporation is considering investing in a new cane manufacturing machine that has an estimated life of three years. The cost of the machine is $30,000. It will be depreciated 20% in year 1, 32% in year 2, and 19% in year 3. The machine will be sold for $15,000 in year 3.
The machine will result in sales of 2000 canes in year 1. Unit sales are estimated to grow by 10% per year through year three. Each cane costs $9 to produce and will be sold for $18.
Sisyphean will need to hold 2% of its annual sales in cash, 4% of its annual sales in accounts receivable, 9% of its annual sales in inventory, and 6% of its annual sales in accounts payable. Net working capital will return to its initial level of zero in year 4. The firm is in the 32% tax bracket, and has a cost of capital of 9%.
Compute the NPV and IRR.

Etonic Inc. is considering an investment of $382,000 in an asset with an economic life of...

Etonic Inc. is considering an investment of $382,000 in an asset with an economic life of 5 years. The firm estimates that the nominal annual cash revenues and expenses at the end of the first year will be $262,000 and $87,000, respectively. Both revenues and expenses will grow thereafter at the annual inflation rate of 2 percent. Etonic will use the straight-line method to depreciate its asset to zero over five years. The salvage value of the asset is estimated to be $62,000 in nominal terms at that time. The one-time net working capital investment of $18,500 is required immediately and will be recovered at the end of the project. All corporate cash flows are subject to a 34 percent tax rate.

  

What is the project’s total nominal cash flow from assets for each year? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Negative amounts should be indicated by a minus sign.)

Bryan followed in his father’s footsteps and entered into the carpet business. He owns and operates I Do Carpet (IDC). Bryan prefers to install carpet only, but in order to earn additional revenue, he also cleans carpets and sells carpet-cleaning supplies. IDC contracted with a homebuilder in December of last year to install carpet in 10 new homes being built. The contract price of $92,000 includes $54,800 for materials (carpet). The remaining $37,200 is for IDC’s service of installing the carpet. The contract also stated that all money was to be paid up front. The homebuilder paid IDC in full on December 28 of last year. The contract required IDC to complete the work by January 31 of this year. Bryan purchased the necessary carpet on January 2 and began working on the first home January 4. He completed the last home on January 27 of this year. IDC entered into several other contracts this year and completed the work before year-end. The work cost $178,000 in materials. Bryan billed out $244,800 but only collected $220,000 by year-end. Of the $24,800 still owed to him, Bryan wrote off $4,200 he didn’t expect to collect as a bad debt from a customer experiencing extreme financial difficulties. IDC entered into a three-year contract to clean the carpets of an office building. The contract specified that IDC would clean the carpets monthly from July 1 of this year through June 30 three years hence. IDC received payment in full of $9,504 ($264 a month for 36 months) on June 30 of this year. IDC sold 100 bottles of carpet stain remover this year for $5 per bottle (it collected $500). IDC sold 40 bottles on June 1 and 60 bottles on November 2. IDC had the following carpet-cleaning supplies on hand for this year and it uses the LIFO method of accounting for inventory under a perpetual inventory system: Purchase Date Bottles Total Cost November last year 40 $312 February this year 35 208 July this year 25 205 August this year 40 380 Totals 140 $1,105 On August 1 of this year, IDC needed more room for storage and paid $2,340 to rent a garage for 12 months. On November 30 of this year, Bryan decided it was time to get his logo on the sides of his work van. IDC hired We Paint Anything Inc. (WPA) to do the job. It paid $980 down and agreed to pay the remaining $2,940 upon completion of the job. WPA indicated it wouldn’t be able to begin the job until January 15 of next year, but the job would only take one week to complete. Due to circumstances beyond its control, WPA wasn’t able to complete the job until April 1 of next year, at which time IDC paid the remaining $2,940. In December, Bryan’s son, Aiden, helped him finish some carpeting jobs. IDC owed Aiden $1,080 (reasonable) compensation for his work. However, Aiden did not receive the payment until January of next year. IDC also paid $5,800 for interest on a short-term bank loan relating to the period from November 1 of this year through March 31 of next year. Compute his taxable income for the current year considering the following items: (Negative amounts should be indicated by a minus sign. Enter zero for no effect on taxable income.
