Unequal Lives The Perez Company has the opportunity to invest in one of two mutually exclusive machines that will produce a product it will need for the foreseeable future. Machine A costs $10 million but realizes after-tax inflows of $4 million per year for 4 years. After 4 years, the machine must be replaced. Machine B costs $15 million and realizes after-tax inflows of $3.5 million per year for 8 years, after which it must be replaced. Assume that machine prices are not expected to rise because inflation will be offset by cheaper components used in the machines. The cost of capital is 10%. Using the replacement chain approach to project analysis, by how much would the value of the company increase if it accepted the better machine? Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer in millions. For example, an answer of $1.23 million should be entered as 1.23, not 1,230,000.

The equipment and installation costs will be depreciated over five years using straight-line depreciation. The expansion is expected to increase earnings before depreciation and taxes as follows: Years 1 and 2 $64,000 Years 3 and 4 $51,000 The firm's income tax rate is 30 percent and the weighted-average cost of capital is 6 percent. Based on the net present value method of capital budgeting, should management undertake this project? Use Appendix B to answer the question. Use a minus sign to enter a negative value, if any. Round your answer to the nearest dollar NPV: $ The firm -Select- Year 5 $50,000 make the investment.

Question 20 Arrow Electronics is considering Projects S and L, which are mutually exclusive, equally risky, and not repeatable. Project S has an initial cost of $1 million and cash inflows of $370,000 for 4 years, while Project L has an initial cost of $2 million and cash inflows of $720,000 for 4 years. The CEO wants to use the IRR criterion, while the CFO favors the NPV method, using a WACC of 6.67%. You were hired to advise the firm on the best procedure. If the wrong decision criterion is used, how much potential value would the firm lose? That is, what is the difference between the NPVs for these two projects? Your answer should be between 112000 and 202000, rounded to even dollars (although decimal places are okay), with no special characters. 1,000,000
