KADS, Inc., has spent $360,000 on research to develop a new computer game. The firm is planning to spend $160,000 on a machine to produce the new game. Shipping and installation costs of the machine will be capitalized and depreciated; they total $46,000. The machine has an expected life of three years, a $71,000 estimated resale value, and falls under theMACRS7-year class life. Revenue from the new game is expected to be $560,000 per year, with costs of $210,000 per year. The firm has a tax rate of 40 percent, an opportunity cost of capital of 13 percent, and it expects net working capital to increase by $80,000 at the beginning of the project.

Your firm needs a computerized machine tool lathe which costs $49,000 and requires $11,900 in maintenance for each year of its 3-year life. After three years, this machine will be replaced. The machine falls into theMACRS3-year class life category. Assume a tax rate of 34 percent and a discount rate of 13 percent.

If the lathe can be sold for $4,900 at the end of year 3, what is the after-tax salvage value?(Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

You have been asked by the president of your company to evaluate the proposed acquisition of a new special-purpose truck for $50,000. The truck falls into theMACRS3-year class, and it will be sold after three years for $19,100. Use of the truck will require an increase in NWC (spare parts inventory) of $1,100. The truck will have no effect on revenues, but it is expected to save the firm $17,200 per year in before-tax operating costs, mainly labor. The firms marginal tax rate is 39 percent.
