Hard_apple Company is considering replacing its old bottling equipment for a new industrial bottling equipment. Project is a 10-year project. You are asked to find what is the maximum price to pay for the new bottling equipment. The following information is provided to you: The old bottling equipment that is to be replaced was purchased for $60 three years ago with 7 years of its scheduled life remaining. It has been depreciated using straight-line depreciation method. The market value of the old equipment today is $10 and zero at the end of its life (in 7 years). The new bottling equipment will be fully depreciated on a straight-line basis over its 10-year life. It is estimated that this equipment can be sold at the end of year 10 for $5. The new bottling equipment will not change revenues, but it is expected to generate savings in operating costs in the amount of $20 (before taxes) per year for 10 years. These savings in costs are at year-end. . The new bottling equipment requires additional working capital of $1. The corporate tax rate is 25 percent. The firm's required rate of return is 10 percent. All cash flows occur at year-end. Capital gains and losses are taxed at the corporate rate of 25% when they are realized.

For example if your answer is $12,500,340 then enter 12.50; if answer is $537,459 then enter 0.54; if the answer is $40,000,000 then enter 40.00 1. What is the life of the project (time spam or investment horizon)? A 2. What is the discounting rate for the cash flows of this project? Do not enter the % sign and round to and use 2 decimals. for example, if the answer is 5.275% then enter 5.28; if your answer is 4% you must enter 4.00, if it is 3.4% you must enter 3.40 A 3. What is the cash flow for purchase price of the new equipment today? there opportunity costs that need to be considered in the calculation (component)?
