PROBLEM 1 NE-YO Corporation is currently manufacturing laptops using traditional technology. Only one machine is used for assembling the product. With the improving economic decisions and increasing demands of the market, a more sophisticated machine costing P250,000 may be bought and used for assembling purposes. The terms of acquisition is 5/10, n/30. Additional cost such as freight and installation amounted to P10,000. If the new machine will be purchased, the old machine with book value of P5,000 may be sold for its fair value of P8,000. Other supplies used for the old machine is not necessary for the new machine and can be sold for P9,000, resulting to a loss of P2,500. Additional net working capital of P50,000 is needed for the new machine. Major repairs amounting P4,500 on the old machine will be avoided once the new machine is purchased. Major repairs are not deductible for tax purposes. Assume a tax rate of 40%. Compute the net investment.

PROBLEM 2 The RHIANE Corporation is planning to add a new product line to its present business. The new product will require a new equipment costing P1,200,000 with a five-year life with no salvage value. The following estimates are made available: Annual Sales P6,600,000; Materials P2,200,000; Labor P900,000; FOH (excluding depreciation) P500,000; Selling and Administrative Expenses P1,500,000; and Income tax of 40%. Compute the net cash inflows using liquidity and yield preference theories.

PROBLEM 3 ABC Corporation made a net investment of P500,000 in a vending machine. Over the five years of its useful life, the machine is expected to have net cashflows of P250,000, P200,000, P80,000, P75,000 and P50,000. Based on those information, what is the payback period in years of the vending machine?

PROBLEM 4 DEF Corporation is considering a business opportunity that would require an investment of P1,800,000 with an expected life of 10 years. Estimated annual cash inflows for 10 years, net of tax, amounts to P500,000. The salvage value is expected to be P700,000 at the end of the 1st year, P550,000 at the end of 2nd year, P450,000 at the end of the 3rd year, P400,000 at the end of the 4th year, and will decrease by P50,000 every year starting the end of fifth year. Compute the bailout period.
