Filkins Fabric Company is considering the replacement of its old, fully depreciated knitting machine. Two new models are available: Machine 190-3, which has a cost of $190,000, a 3-year expected life, and after-tax cash flows (labor savings and depreciation) of $87,000 per year; and Machine 360-6, which has a cost of $360,000, a 6-year life, and after-tax cash flows of $98,300 per year. Knitting machine prices are not expected to rise because inflation will be offset by cheaper components (microprocessors) used in the machines. Assume that Filkins’ cost of capital is 14%. Should the firm replace its old knitting machine? If so, which new machine should it use? By how much would the value of the company increase if it accepted the better machine? What is the equivalent annual annuity for each machine?

Johnson Wholesale Corporation has purchased a new piece of equipment for $644,000, with $46,000 of that total being costs for installation.

Rooney, Incorporated is considering the purchase of a new machine costing $700,000. The machine's useful life is expected to be 8 years with no salvage value. The straight-line depreciation method will be used. The net increase in annual after-tax cash flow is expected to be $156,000. Rooney estimates its cost of capital to be 12%. (The present value of a $1 annuity for 8 years at 12% is 4.968, and the present value of $1 to be received in 8 years is 0.404.) The net present value of the investment in the machine under consideration is: Multiple Choice $156,000. $75,008. $87,500. $126.800.
A new investment project requires a purchase of a new equipment with a cost of $575,000 , which will be depreciated straight-line to zero over its 4-year life. The investment lasts for four years, and will bring in an annual operating cash flow of $215,000. At the end of the four years, the equipment will be sold and result in an after tax salvage value of $25,000 . The investment will require an investment of working capital of $15,000 , initially and will be fully recovered at the end of year four. Assume the discount rate is 15 percent and the tax rate is 28 percent. What is last year's cash flow from the project?
