Please solve this for me.?

1. The GM Crop-Dusting Company is considering

expanding its operations by purchasing an

additional crop-dusting aircraft that would allow it

to spray liquid seaweed based fertilizer onto North

Coast banana plantations. There are two

competing aircraft, A and B, which are capable of

doing the work. The following information is

provided:

飩?Aircraft A would have a useful working life of 10

years, whilst aircraft B, which is smaller, would

have a useful working life of 8 years.

飩?The purchase price of aircraft A is $1,000,000 and

it has no installation costs. Its purchase price

would be depreciated fully over its working life

using straight-line depreciation and it would have

an expected salvage value of $30,000 after 10 years.

飩?The purchase price of aircraft B is $720,000. It

also has no installation costs and its purchase price

would be fully depreciated over its working life

using straight line depreciation. Its expected

salvage value after 8 years is $20,000.

飩?The company pays a tax rate of 30%.

飩?If either aircraft were put into operation, an

increase in working capital of $20,000 would be

required.

飩?If aircraft A is purchased, it is estimated that

annual profit before depreciation and taxes would

increase by $200,000 over the useful life of the

aircraft (i.e. ignoring any interest expense).

飩?If aircraft B is purchased, it is estimated that

annual profit before depreciation and taxes would

increase by $160,000 over the useful life of the

aircraft (i.e. ignoring any interest expense).

(a) For the project involving purchase and operation

of aircraft A, calculate the initial investment,

annual operating cash inflow and terminal net cash

flow for capital budgeting purposes.

(b) For the project involving purchase and operation

of aircraft B, calculate the initial investment,

annual operating cash inflow and terminal net cash

flow for capital budgeting purposes.

(c) Supposing the appropriate cost of capital for both

aircraft purchase projects is 10% per annum,

calculate the net present values for projects A and

B.

(d) Assuming projects A and B are 鈥榦ngoing鈥?projects

which would be replaced by similar aircraft at the

end of their useful lives, determine which project

would be preferred by calculating the annual net

present value of each project.Please solve this for me.?
