Please answer them correctly. Here are 2 short problems. Please solve all 2 problems. I would really appreciate your effort. Thanks.

1). Given the soaring price of gasoline, Ford is considering introducing a new production line of gas-electric hybrid sedans. The expected annual unit sales of the hybrid cars is 40,000; the price is $25,000 per car. Variable costs of production are $14,000 per car. The fixed overhead including salary of top executives is $80 million per year. However, the introduction of the hybrid sedan will decrease Fords sales of regular sedans by 6,000 cars per year; the regular sedans have a unit price of $20,000, a unit variable cost of $12,000, and fixed costs of $250,000 per year. Depreciation costs of the production plant are $52,000 per year. The marginal tax rate is 40 percent. What is the incremental annual cash flow from operations?

2). Crane Company is considering buying a new farm that it plans to operate for 10 years. The farm will require an initial investment of $11.80 million. This investment will consist of $3.00 million for land and $8.80 million for trucks and other equipment. The land, all trucks, and all other equipment are expected to be sold at the end of 10 years for a price of $5.20 million, which is $2.15 million above book value. The farm is expected to produce revenue of $2.00 million each year, and annual cash flow from operations equals $1.90 million. The marginal tax rate is 35 percent, and the appropriate discount rate is 10 percent. Calculate the NPV of this investment. (Do not round factor values. Round final answer to 2 decimal places, e.g. 15.25.)
