(Ignore income taxes in this problem) The management of Byrge Corporation is investigating buying a small used aircraft to use in making airborne inspections of its above-ground pipelines.The aircraft would have a useful life of 8 years.The company uses a discount rate of 10% in its capital budgeting.The net present value of the investment, excluding the intangible benefits, is -$448,460.To the nearest whole dollar how large would the annual intangible benefit have to be to make the investment in the aircraft financially attractive?

The present value of the annual cost savings of $78,000 is closest to:

(Ignore income taxes in this problem.) Highpoint, Inc., is considering investing in automated equipment with a ten-year useful life.Managers at Highpoint have estimated the cash flows associated with the tangible costs and benefits of automation, but have been unable to estimate the cash flows associated with the intangible benefits.Using the company's 12% required rate of return, the net present value of the cash flows associated with just the tangible costs and benefits is a negative $282,500.How large would the annual net cash inflows from the intangible benefits have to be to make this a financially acceptable investment?

(Ignore income taxes in this problem.) Charlie Corporation is considering buying a new donut maker.This machine will replace an old donut maker that still has a useful life of 6 years.The new machine will cost $3,600 a year to operate, as opposed to the old machine, which costs $3,800 per year to operate.Also, because of increased capacity, an additional 20,000 donuts a year can be produced.The company makes a contribution margin of $0.10 per donut.The old machine can be sold for $7,000 and the new machine costs $30,000.The incremental annual net cash inflows provided by the new machine would be:

Basta Corporation has provided the following data concerning an investment project that it is considering: The working capital would be released for use elsewhere at the end of the project in 4 years.The company's discount rate is 8%.The net present value of the project is closest to:

(Ignore income taxes in this problem.) Anthony operates a part time auto repair service.He estimates that a new diagnostic computer system will result in increased cash inflows of $1,500 in Year 1, $2,100 in Year 2, and $3,200 in Year 3.If Anthony's required rate of return is 10%, then the most he would be willing to pay for the new diagnostic computer system would be:

(Ignore income taxes in this problem.) A company is considering buying a machine that costs $500,000, has a useful life of ten years, and is depreciated over its useful life by the straight-line method.The salvage value of the machine at the end of ten years will be $40,000.This machine will replace an old machine that is fully depreciated; the old machine has a salvage value of $75,000 now.If the simple rate of return of this investment is 12.7%, then the anticipated annual incremental net operating income from this machine for each of the next ten years is:

(Ignore income taxes in this problem.) Olinick Corporation is considering a project that would require an investment of $343,000 and would last for 8 years.The incremental annual revenues and expenses generated by the project during those 8 years would be as follows: The scrap value of the project's assets at the end of the project would be $23,000.The cash inflows occur evenly throughout the year.The payback period of the project is closest to:
