Which of the following is not a relevant item to consider in cash flow estimation?

The Equivalent Annual Cost method allows comparison of the costs of equipment with unequal lives. If Quick-roll machine has an eleven year life, and an NPV of $2,100, while the Zip-roller machine has a seven year life and an NPV of $2,000. Which machine would you choose if the business is expected to continue and the discount rate for both is 14%?

If the inflation rate was positive the expected NPV of an investment would be:

A proposed investment has a cost of $250. It will have a life of 4 years. The cost will be depreciated straight-line to a zero salvage value, and will be worth $50 at that time. Cash sales will be $230 per year and cash costs will run $120 per year. The firm will also need to invest $70 in net working capital at year 0. The appropriate discount rate is 8% (use for all flows), and the corporate tax rate is 40%. What are the cash flows in years 1, 2, 3, and 4?

The cash flow in dollars received in year 3 is expected to be $12,372. The firm uses a real discount rate of 4% and the inflation rate is expected to be 2.5%. What is the real cash flow for year 3?

You are considering whether to replace an existing flow meter. The existing meter can be sold now for $50 or it can be sold in 1 year for $10. It costs $30 per year to operate and maintain. A new meter costs $400 and has a 10-year life. It could be sold for $40 at the end of its life. The new meter costs $14 per year to operate and maintain. What do you recommend if the cost of capital is 12%?

The bottom-up approach to computing the operating cash flow applies only when:

The value of a previously purchased building used by a proposed project is an example of a(n) :

The top-down approach to computing the operating cash flow:

This chapter introduced three new methods for calculating project operating cash flow (OCF). Under what circumstances is each method appropriate?

The cash flow in dollars received in year 3 is expected to be $12,372. The firm uses a real discount rate of 4% and the inflation rate is expected to be 2.5%. What is the present value of the year 3 cash flow?

The equivalent annual cost method is useful in determining:

You have been asked to evaluate 2 pollution control devices. The wet scrub costs $100 to set up and $50 per year to operate. It must be completely replaced every 3 years, and it has no salvage value. The dry scrub device costs $200 to set up and $30 per year to operate. It lasts for 5 years and has no salvage value. Assuming that pollution control equipment is replaced as it wears out, which method do you recommend if the cost of capital is 10%?

You have been asked to evaluate two machines. The benefits from ownership are identical. Machine A costs $300 to buy and install, lasts for 5 years, and costs $160 per year to operate. Machine B costs $500, lasts for 7 years, and costs $120 per year to operate. Both machines have zero salvage value. Assuming that this is a one-time acquisition, which machine do you recommend if the cost of capital is 15%?

You are considering replacing your current dado cutter with a new machine. The current machine is expected to last three more years but faces increasing repair costs of $2,500; $3,500; and $4,000 over the three years. You could salvage the machine now for $5,000; and then $3,000; $1,500; and 0 thereafter. The new dado cutter would cost $12,000 and require upkeep of $1,500 a year. The machine would last six years and be salvaged for $1,000. Should you replace the old machine now or wait one year? (Assume the tax rate is 0% and the cost of capital is 11%).

Le Place has sales of $439,000, depreciation of $32,000, and net working capital of $56,000. The firm has a tax rate of 34% and a profit margin of 6%. The firm has no interest expense. What is the amount of the operating cash flow?

Which of the following is not a relevant consideration for evaluating new projects?

Peter's Boats has sales of $760,000 and a profit margin of 5%. The annual depreciation expense is $80,000. What is the amount of the operating cash flow if the company has no long-term debt?
