Question

Transcribed Image Text:A company is considering an investment (at time = 0) in a machine that produces large
plastic boxes. The cost of the machine is 46,609 dollars with zero expected salvage
value. Annual production in units during the 3-year life of the machine is expected to be
(starting at time = 1) 4,554, 8,381, and 12,616. The sale price per unit of the plastic
boxes is 11 dollars in year one, and then expected to increase by 9% per year.
Production costs per unit will be 6 dollars in year one, and then expected to increase by
3% per year. Depreciation on the machine is 11,182 dollars per year, the tax rate is 40%
and the minimum acceptable rate of return is 7% percent. Calculate the net present
value of this investment. Assume all flows are at the end of each year. (note: round your
answer to the nearest cent, and do not include spaces, currency signs, plus or minus
signs, or commas)
