Cameron Industries is purchasing a new chemical vapor depositor in order to make silicon chips. It will cost $7,000,000 to buy the machine and $20,000 to have it delivered and installed. Building a clean room in the plant for the machine will cost an additional $3 million. The machine is expected to raise gross profits by $4,500,000 per year, starting at the end of the first year, with associated costs of $1 million for each of those years. The machine is expected to have a working life of seven years and will be depreciated over those seven years. The marginal tax rate is 40%. What are the incremental free cash flows associated with the new machine in year 0?
A) -$10,020,000
B) -$7,000,000
C) -$9,018,000
D) $1,002,857

Answer:

A) -$10,020,000

Explanation:

Year 0 cash flow = -(Cost of Machine + Installation Cost + Clean Room Cost)

Year 0 cash flow = -($7,000,000 + $20,000 + $3,000,000)

Year 0 cash flow = -$10,200,000

So, the incremental free cash flows associated with the new machine in year 0 is ($10,200,000).

Subject: Interns
Staff:

As you may be aware, we have for the past year been considering changing our approach to interns. Your management council recently made a decision to offer compensation to the interns in our internship program because we learned that in two fields (computer science and information systems) interns are usually paid, which is the norm. However, we will be unable to offer any more than three internships.

In collaboration with our nearby college, we have narrowed the field to six excellent candidates. These six candidates will be interviewed. This is to inform you that you are required to attend three interviewing sessions for these student candidates. Your presence is needed at these sessions to help us avoid making poor selections.

You should mark your calendars for the following three times. We are scheduling the first set of interviews for April 5 to meet in the conference room. Please examine all the candidates’ résumés, which are attached, and send me your ranking lists.

The second interviewing session is scheduled for April 8 in Office 22 (the conference room was already scheduled). On April 11 we can finish up in the conference room. All of the meetings will start at 2 p.m. In view of the fact that your projects need fresh ideas and talented new team members, I should not have to urge you to attend and be well prepared.
