You have two alternatives for the replacement of the old machine in your family-owned business. Machine X & Y meet the same efficiency level and perform the same activities but generate different cash flows. The cost is $105,000 for each machine. Machine X has a useful life of 5 years and Y has 3 years useful life. The discount rate is 12%. Using the after-tax costs, calculate NPV for each project and select the best alternative. Year Alternate X Alternate Y 0 (105000) (105000) 1 (15000) (8000) 2 (15000) (8000) 3 (15000) (8000) 4 (15000) 5 (15000)
Each of the following scenarios is independent. All cash flows are after-tax cash flows. Required: 1. Patz Corporation is considering the purchase of a computer-aided manufacturing system. The cash benefits will be 800,000 per year. The system costs 4,000,000 and will last eight years. Compute the NPV assuming a discount rate of 10 percent. Should the company buy the new system? 2. Sterling Wetzel has just invested 270,000 in a restaurant specializing in German food. He expects to receive 43,470 per year for the next eight years. His cost of capital is 5.5 percent. Compute the internal rate of return. Did Sterling make a good decision?
A grocery store is considering the purchase of a new refrigeration unit with an Initial Investment of $412,000, and the store expects a return of $100,000 in year one, $72000 in years two and three, $65,000 in years four and five, and $38,000 in year six and beyond, what is the payback period?
Consolidated Aluminum is considering the purchase of a new machine that will cost $308,000 and provide the following cash flows over the next five years: $88,000, 92,000, $91,000, $72,000, and $71,000. Calculate the IRR for this piece of equipment. For further instructions on internal rate of return in Excel, see Appendix C.
Gina Ripley, president of Dearing Company, is considering the purchase of a computer-aided manufacturing system. The annual net cash benefits and savings associated with the system are described as follows: The system will cost 9,000,000 and last 10 years. The companys cost of capital is 12 percent. Required: 1. Calculate the payback period for the system. Assume that the company has a policy of only accepting projects with a payback of five years or less. Would the system be acquired? 2. Calculate the NPV and IRR for the project. Should the system be purchasedeven if it does not meet the payback criterion? 3. The project manager reviewed the projected cash flows and pointed out that two items had been missed. First, the system would have a salvage value, net of any tax effects, of 1,000,000 at the end of 10 years. Second, the increased quality and delivery performance would allow the company to increase its market share by 20 percent. This would produce an additional annual net benefit of 300,000. Recalculate the payback period, NPV, and IRR given this new information. (For the IRR computation, initially ignore salvage value.) Does the decision change? Suppose that the salvage value is only half what is projected. Does this make a difference in the outcome? Does salvage value have any real bearing on the companys decision?
