ABC is thinking about buying a kiln that costs $27,000. ABC will use the kiln for five years, and expects to be able to sell it as scrap at the end of the five year period for $2,000. The kiln won't add any revenues, but it is more efficient than the existing kiln, so it is expected that it would save the firm $15,651 the first year, $9,484 the second year, $8,578 the third year, $4,112 the fourth year, and $3,043 the fifth and final year. The kiln would be depreciated using standard 3-year MACRS percentages (33%, 45%, 15%, and 7%). ABC's cost of capital is 12 percent. Given that information, what is the NPV of this potential project? There is no tax rate given...

    Suppose we are thinking about renovating a leased office. The renovations would cost $364,000. The renovations will be depreciated straight-line to zero over the five-year remainder of the lease. The new office would save us $36,000 per year in heating and cooling costs. Also, absenteeism should be reduced and the new image should increase revenues. These last two items would result in increased operating revenues of $43,000 annually. The tax rate is 36%, and the discount rate is 13%. Calculate...
