There is a 30% chance that demand will be strong for both A and B's products. If demand is strong, A’s return is 100% and B's return is 20%. Suppose there is a 40% chance that demand is normal. If demand is normal, A's return is 15% and B's return is 15%. Finally, suppose there is a 30% chance that demand is weak, in which case, A's return is -70% and B's return is 10%. What is the expected return...

This problem concerns the effect of taxes on the various break-even measures. Consider a project to supply Detroit with 30,000 tons of machine screws annually for automobile production. You will need an initial $4,400,000 investment in threading equipment to get the project started; the project will last for three years. The accounting department estimates that annual fixed costs will be $650,000 and that variable costs should be $250 per ton; accounting will depreciate the initial fixed asset investment straight-line to...

NEW PROJECT ANALYSIS Holmes Manufacturing is considering a new machine that costs $240,000 and would reduce pretax manufacturing costs by $90,000 annually. Holmes would use the 3-year MACRS method to depreciate the machine, and management thinks the machine would have a value of $25,000 at the end of its 5-year operating life. The applicable depreciation rates are 33%, 45 % , 15 %, and 7%. Net operating working capital would increase by $22,000 initially, but it would be recovered at...
