Question 2. Diliman Republic Publishers, Inc. is considering replacing an old press that cost P800,000 six years ago with a new one that would cost P2,250,000. Shipping and installation would cost an additional P200,000. The old press has a book value of P150,000 and could be sold currently for P50,000. The increased production of the new press would increase inventories by P40,000, accounts receivable by P160,000 and accounts payable by P140,000. Diliman Republic's net initial investment for analyzing the acquisition of the new press assuming a 35% income tax rate would be
a. P2,450,000
b. P2,425,000
c. P2,600,000
d. P2,250,000
Question 3. Maxwell Company has an opportunity to acquire a new machine to replace one of its present machines. The new machine would cost $90,000, have a 5-year life, and no estimated salvage value. Variable operating costs would be $100,000 per year. The present machine has a book value of $50,000 and a remaining life of 5 years. Its disposal value now is $5,000, but it would be zero after 5 years. Variable operating costs would be $125,000 per year. Ignore income taxes. Considering the 5 years in total, what would be the difference in profit before income taxes by acquiring the new machine as opposed to retaining the present one?
a. $10,000 decrease
b. $15,000 decrease
c. $35,000 increase
d. $40,000 increase
Question 4. Cramden Armored Car Co. is considering the acquisition of a new armored truck. The truck is expected to cost $300,000. The company's discount rate is 12 percent. The firm has determined that the truck generates a positive net present value of $17,022. However, the firm is uncertain as to whether it has determined a reasonable estimate of the salvage value of the truck. In computing the net present value, the company assumed that the truck would be salvaged at the end of the fifth year for $60,000. What expected salvage value for the truck would cause the investment to generate a net present value of $0? Ignore taxes.
a.$30,000
b.$0
c.$55,278
d.$42,978
