Capitol Healthplan, Inc. is evaluating two different methods for providing home health services to its members. Both methods involve contracting out for services, and the health outcomes and revenues are not affected by the method chosen. Therefore, the incremental cash flows for the decision are all outflows. Here are the projected flows: Year 0 1 2 Method A ($300,000) ($ 66,000) ($66,000) ($ 66,000) ($66,000) ($66,000) Method B ($120,000) ($96,000) ($96,000) ($96,000) ($96,000) ($96,000)...

Hagar Industrial Systems Company (HISC) is trying to decide between two different conveyor belt systems. System A costs $212,000, has a four-year life, and requires $68,000 in pretax annual operating costs. System B costs $300,000, has a six-year life, and requires $62,000 in pretax annual operating costs. Both systems are to be depreciated straight-line to zero over their lives and will have zero salvage value. Whichever system is chosen, it will not be replaced when it wears out. The tax...

A company is evaluating the purchase of Machine A. The new machine would cost $120,000 and would be depreciated for tax purposes using the straight-line method over an estimated ten-year life to its expected salvage value of $20,000. The new machine would require an addition of $30,000 to working capital. In each year of Machine A’s life, the company would reduce its pre-tax costs by $40,000. The company has a 12% cost of capital and is in the 35% marginal...

Two units are available, HCC and LCC (for high and low capital costs, respectively). HCC has a high capital cost but relatively low operating costs, while LCC has a low capital cost but higher operating costs because it uses more electricity. The costs of the units are...
