______ A)

no change B)

The formula is not relevant when an asset is disposed of, only when acquired. C)

cash flow from current disposal of old machine C)

cash flow from terminal disposal of new machine D)

recurring after-tax operating flows E)

initial machine investment

49)

All of the following are relevant cash flows in capital budgeting EXCEPT 49)

______ A)

after-tax cash flow from future disposal of asset at life’s end. B)

after-tax cash flow from accumulated amortization. C)

initial asset investment of the replacement machine. D)

after-tax cash flow from current disposal of old asset. E)

both C and D

50)

The total project approach to capital budgeting 50)

______ A)

calculates the present value of all cash inflows and outflows under each alternative separately. B)

produces the same answer as the IRR method. C)

calculates the net present value of cash flows which differ between alternatives. D)

uses gross cash flows to determine net present values. E)

calculates the net present value for the incremental cash flows.

51)

The differential approach is often considered superior to the total project approach to capital budgeting 51)

______ A)

because it is faster if analyzing fewer than three alternatives. B)

because it can more easily accommodate multiple investment opportunities. C)

because it is easier to select the components for the model. D)

for all large investment decisions. E)

because it uses only net cash flows instead of gross cash flows.

52)

Assume that in recent years a global economic crisis has produced a very high annual inflation rate of 25 percent. Columbian Coffee has decided to use a nominal rate to determine capital budgeting decisions. Its traditional real rate of return is 10 percent. The company is planning on purchasing a special coffee grinding machine that costs $30,000. It is anticipated the equipment will generate savings in nominal dollars as follows:

 

Year 1$15,000

Year 215,000

Year 310,000

 

The anticipated salvage value of the equipment at the end of three years is $5,000. The income tax rate of Columbian Coffee is 40 percent. The company uses straight-line amortization for all equipment for tax purposes. The present value factors, in simplified form, are:

 

YearPV of $1

PV of annuity of $1

What is the net present value of the investment? 52)

______ A)

$(14,000) B)

$(12,220) C)

$14,000 D)

$12,220 E)

$1,220

Use the information below to answer the following question(s).
