Transcribed Image Text:Beryl's Iced Tea currently rents a bottling machine for $52,000 per year, including all maintenance expenses. It is considering purchasing a machine instead and is comparing two options:
a. Purchase the machine it is currently renting for $165,000. This machine will require $21,000 per year in ongoing maintenance expenses.
b. Purchase a new, more advanced machine for $260,000. This machine will require $17,000 per year in ongoing maintenance expenses and will lower bottling costs by $15,000 per year. Also, $36,000 will be spent up front to train the new
operators of the machine.
Suppose the appropriate discount rate is 7% per year and the machine is purchased today. Maintenance and bottling costs are paid at the end of each year, as is the cost of the rental machine. Assume also that the machines will be depreciate
via the straight-line method over seven years and that they have a 10-year life with a negligible salvage value. The marginal corporate tax rate is 40%.
Should Beryl's Iced Tea continue to rent, purchase its current machine, or purchase the advanced machine? To make this decision, calculate the NPV of the FCF associated with each alternative.
.....
The NPV of renting the current machine is $
(Round to the nearest dollar.)
The NPV of purchasing the current machine is $
(Round to the nearest dollar.)
The NPV of purchasing the advanced machine is $

These are real (inflation-adjusted) cash flows. The beta for producing wells is 0.91. The market risk premium is 9%, the nominal risk-free interest rate is 7%, and expected inflation is 3%. The two wells are intended to develop a previously discovered oil field. Unfortunately there is still a 21% chance of a dry hole in each case. A dry hole means zero cash flows and a complete loss of the $10.1 million investment. Ignore taxes and make further assumptions as necessary. a.
