Andronicus Corporation (AC) has the following jumbled information about an investment proposal: Revenues in each of years 1–4 = $37,000 Year 0 initial investment = $57,000 Inventory level = $18,500 in year 1, $20,700 in year 2, and $13,500 in year 3 Production costs = $12,100 in each of years 1–4 Salvage value = $13,700 in year 4 Depreciation = 100% immediate bonus depreciation Tax rate = 21% There is an additional 6-month lag for all cash flows after year 0. For example, customers pay consistently with a 6-month lag, as AC does for production costs, taxes, etc. Draw up a set of cash flow forecasts as in Table 6.4.

4. Analysis of a replacement project At times firms will need to decide if they want to continue to use their current equipment or replace the equipment with newer equipment. The company will need to do replacement analysis to determine which option is the best financial decision for the company. Price Co. is considering replacing an existing piece of equipment. The project involves the following: • The new equipment will have a cost of $2,400,000, and it is eligible for 100% bonus depreciation so it will be fully depreciated at t = 0. • The old machine was purchased before the new tax law, so it is being depreciated on a straight-line basis. It has a book value of $200,000 (at year 0) and four more years of depreciation left ($50,000 per year). • The new equipment will have a salvage value of $0 at the end of the project's life (year 6). The old machine has a current salvage value (at year 0) of $300,000. • Replacing the old machine will require an investment in net operating working…
