Nunoz Inc. is considering an investment project that would require an initial investment


Nunoz Inc. is considering an investment project that would require an initial investment of $250,000 and that would last for 9 years. The annual cash receipts from the project would be $175,000 and the annual cash expenses would be $79,000. The equipment used in the project could be sold at the end of the project for a salvage value of $13,000. The company's tax rate is 30%. For tax purposes, the entire initial investment will be depreciated over 7 years without any reduction for salvage value. The company uses a discount rate of 10%.

    130. When computing the net present value of the project, what are the annual after-tax cash receipts?
            A)      $52,500
            B)      $122,500
            C)      $139,286
            D)      $96,000
           
            Ans:  B     AACSB:  Analytic     AICPA BB:  Critical Thinking     AICPA FN:  Reporting     LO:  8     Level:  Medium

            Solution:
           
            Annual after-tax cash receipts = Annual cash receipts × (1 − Tax rate)
= $175,000 × (1 − 0.30) = $122,500



    131. The net present value of the project is closest to:
            A)      $140,863
            B)      $137,005
            C)      $193,020
            D)      $189,162
           
            Ans:  C     AACSB:  Analytic     AICPA BB:  Critical Thinking     AICPA FN:  Reporting     LO:  8     Level:  Medium

            Solution:
           
            Annual after-tax cash receipts = Annual cash receipts × (1 − Tax rate)
= $175,000 × (1 − 0.30) = $122,500

Annual after-tax expenses = Annual expenses × (1 − Tax rate)
= $79,000 × (1 − 0.30) = $55,300
