A company is considering the purchase of a new electron beam welder at a price of $250,000. The company would initially pay a down payment of $16000 and would borrow the balance at i=10%, for 6 years (making a single end of year payment each year). If the electron beam welder is purchased, the company will obtain a new 6-year welding contract that will increase annual income by $40,000. Maintenance and operating costs for the new welder will amount to $2100 for the first year and will increase by $1000 each year that the welder is used. CCA depreciation will be used for tax purposes. The welding machine sales company has agreed to "buy the welder back" for $25,000, when the new contract is concluded after six years. The tax rate = 34%, the MARR is 12%, CCA=30%. Develop the cash flow/ investment including as many details as possible. What is the net cash flow over 6 years ? If there were working capital (WC) required for this project, which year or years does it show up in the statement(s)?

Question

A company is considering the purchase of a new electron beam welder at a price of $250,000. The company would initially pay a down payment of $16000 and would borrow the balance at i=10%, for 6 years (making a single end of year payment each year). If the electron beam welder is purchased, the company will obtain a new 6-year welding contract that will increase annual income by $40,000. Maintenance and operating costs for the new welder will amount to $2100 for the first year and will increase by $1000 each year that the welder is used. CCA depreciation will be used for tax purposes. The welding machine sales company has agreed to "buy the welder back" for $25,000, when the new contract is concluded after six years. The tax rate = 34%, the MARR is 12%, CCA=30%.

Develop the cash flow/ investment including as many details as possible. What is the net cash flow over 6 years ? If there were working capital (WC) required for this project, which year or years does it show up in the statement(s)?
