Hercules Exercise Equipment Co. purchased a computerized measuring device two years ago for $78,000. The equipment falls into the five-year category for MACRS depreciation and can currently be sold for $34,800. A new piece of equipment will cost $230,000. It also falls into the five-year category for MACRS depreciation. Assume the new equipment would provide the following stream of added cost savings for the next six years. Use Table 12–12. Use Appendix B for an approximate answer but calculate your final answer using the formula and financial calculator methods.

Ivanhoe Leasing Company (lessor) agrees to lease equipment to Sarasota Construction (Lessee) on January 1, 2017. The following information relates to the lease agreement.
(a) the term of the lease is 7 years with no renewal option, and the machinery has an estimated economic life of 9 years.
(b) the cost of the machinery is $653,420 , and the fair value of the asset on January 1, 2017, is $887,406.
(c) At the end of the lease term, the asset reverts to the lessor and has an unguaranteed residual value of $100,000. Sarasota incurs initial direct costs of $1,400 and amortizes all of its leased equipment on a straight line basis. In addition, Sarasota agrees to pay the fixed annual insurance on the equipment of $3,000 to Ivanhoe at the same time as the rental payments.
(d) the lease agreement requires equal annual rental payments, beginning on January 1, 2017.
(e) the collectibility of the lease payments is probable.
(f) Ivanhoe desires an 10% rate of return on its investments. Sarasota's incremental borrowing rate is 12%, and the lessor's implicit rate is unknown to Sarasota.
calculate the amount of the annual rental payment required by Lessor including the fixed insurance payment (hint: calculate annual rental payment without insurance first)

Square Manufacturing is considering investing in a robotics manufacturing line. Installation of the line will cost an estimated $9.7 million. This amount must be paid immediately even though construction will take three years to complete (years 0, 1, and 2). Year 3 will be spent testing the production line and, hence, it will not yield any positive cash flows. If the operation is very successful, the company can expect after-tax cash savings of $6.7 million per year in each of years 4 through 7. After reviewing the use of these systems with the management of other companies, Square’s controller has concluded that the operation will most probably result in annual savings of $4.9 million per year for each of years 4 through 7. However, it is entirely possible that the savings could be as low as $2.5 million per year for each of years 4 through 7. The company uses a 16 percent discount rate. Use Exhibit A.8.

(MIRR) Star Industries owns and operates landfills for several municipalities throughout the Midwestern part of the U.S. Star typically contracts with the municipality to provide land services for a period of 20 years. The firm then constructs a lined landfill (required by federal law) that has capacity for five years. The $9.8 million expenditure required to construct the new landfill results in negative cash flows at the end of years 5, 10, and 15. This change in sign on the stream of cash flows over the 20 year contract period introduces the potential for multiple IRRs, so Star's management has decided to use the MIRR to evaluate new landfill investment contracts. The annual cash inflows to Star begin in year 1 and extend through year 20 are estimated to equal $4.1 million (this does not reflect the cost of constructing the landfills every five years). Stars uses a 9.6% discount rate to evaluate its new projects, so it plans to discount all the construction costs every five years back to year 0 using this rate before calculating the MIRR.
a). What are the project's NPV, IRR, and MIRR
b). Is it a good investment opportunity for Star Industries? Why or why not?

Northwood Company manufactures basketballs. The company has a ball that sells for $25. At present, the ball is manufactured in a small plant that relies heavily on direct labor workers. Thus, variable expenses are high, totaling $15.00 per ball, of which 60% is direct labor cost. Last year, the company sold 36,000 of these balls, with the following results: Sales (36,000 balls) $ 900,000 Variable expenses 540,000 Contribution margin 360,000 Fixed expenses 263,000 Net operating income $ 97,000 (5) Refer to the original data. The company is discussing the construction of a new, automated manufacturing plant. The new plant would slash variable expenses per ball by 40.00%, but it would cause fixed expenses per year to double. If the new plant is built, 6. Refer to the data in (5) above. a. If the new plant is built, how many balls will have to be sold next year to earn the same net operating income, $97,000, as last year? b. Assume the new plant is built and that next year the company manufactures and sells 36,000 balls (the same number as sold last year). Prepare a contribution format income statement and Compute the degree of operating leverage.

the difference. Lake’s net income for the year ended December 31,
2018, was $270 million. During 2018, Lake declared and paid cash
dividends of $30 million. The buildings have a remaining life of 5
years.
