6The Arrow Company is considering the purchase of equipment that will return cash flows as follows: End of period Cash flows 1 $5,000 2 3,000 3 2,000 4 1,000 5 500 Assume a cost of money of 10 percent. What is the maximum amount the company could pay for the machine and still be financially no worse off than if it did not buy the machine?
The Sunshine Corporation has to make a choice between two different solutions to its current production bottleneck. It can purchase the Superduper Model XT, which is more expensive but will have a useful life of 6 years, or it can purchase the Mediocre Model UX, which is less expensive but will only have a useful life of 3 years. The company requires a 10 percent rate of return on its investments. The Superduper’s cash flows are: Yr0 = -75, Yr1 = 10, Yr2 = 15, Yr3 = 25, Yr4 = 30, Yr5 = 25, Yr6 = 20. The Mediocre’s cash flows are: Yr0 = -50, Yr1 = 25, Yr2 = 30, Yr3 = 13. Using the replacement chain method, which of these two alternatives is better?

Your firm is considering the purchase of two alternative machinery: Machine A has an expected life of 2 years, will cost Rs. 75 million, and will produce net cash flows of INR 45 million per year. Machine B has a life of 4 years, will cost INR 100 million, and will produce net cash flows of INR 33 million per year. Your firm plans to use the chosen machine for only 4 years. Inflation in operating costs, machinery costs, is expected to be zero, and the company’s cost of capital is 9%. Which machine is acceptable as the better project using replacement chain method? Will your choice hold if cost of A becomes INR 90 million for second year? What is the equivalent annual annuity cost for each machine and evaluating with this criterion, do you find any difference in your decision on the better machinery, when you had used replacement chain method?

Using payback, ARR, and NPV with unequal cash flows Henderson Manufacturing, Inc, has a manufacturing machine that needs attention, The company is considering two options. Option 1 is to refurbish the current machine at a cost of $1,200,000. If refurbished, Henderson expects the machine to last another eight years and then have no residual value. Option 2 is to replace the machine at a cost of $4,600,000. A new machine would last 10 years and have no residual value. Henderson expects the following net cash inflows from the two options: Henderson uses straight-line depreciation and requires an annual return of 10%. Requirements Compute the payback, the ARR, the NPV, and the profitability index of these two options. Which option should Henderson choose? Why?
