(1)An asset used in a three-year project falls in the five-year MACRS class for tax purposes. The asset has an acquisition cost of $5.4 million and will be sold for $1.2 million at the end of the project. If the tax rate is 35 percent, what is the aftertax salvage value of the asset?

(2)Lakeside Winery is considering expanding its winemaking operations. The expansion will require new equipment costing $649,000 that would be depreciated on a straight-line basis to a zero balance over the four-year life of the project. The estimated salvage value is $187,000. The project requires $38,000 initially for net working capital, all of which will be recouped at the end of the project. The projected operating cash flow is $198,500 a year. What is the net present value of this project if the relevant discount rate is 14 percent and the tax rate is 35 percent?

(3)The Sausage Hut is looking at a new sausage system with an installed cost of $438,000. This cost will be depreciated straight-line to zero over the project's four-year life, at the end of which the sausage system can be scrapped for $69,000. The sausage system will save the firm $129,000 per year in pretax operating costs, and the system requires an initial investment in net working capital of $29,000, which will be recouped at project end. If the tax rate is 35 percent and the discount rate is 9 percent, what is the NPV of this project?
