Floopy Co has decided to purchase new equipment. They are in the 38% tax bracket.  The desired equipment costs $77,000 and it can be financed entirely with a 12% loan which requires annual end-of-year payments of $32,059 for 3 years. The firm will depreciate the equipment under MACRS using a 3-year recovery period (depreciation is 33% in year 1, 45% in year 2 and 15% in year 3). The firm will pay $2,000 per year for a maintenance contract.  Calculate the present value of the cash outflows for the purchase alternative. Use these templates below.

Question

Floopy Co has decided to purchase new equipment. They are in the 38% tax bracket. 

The desired equipment costs $77,000 and it can be financed entirely with a 12% loan which requires annual end-of-year payments of $32,059 for 3 years. The firm will depreciate the equipment under MACRS using a 3-year recovery period (depreciation is 33% in year 1, 45% in year 2 and 15% in year 3). The firm will pay $2,000 per year for a maintenance contract.  Calculate the present value of the cash outflows for the purchase alternative. Use these templates below.

### Loan Repayment and Cash Flow Analysis

#### Table 1: Loan Repayment Schedule

1. **End of Year**:
   - Row entries: 1, 2, 3

2. **Loan Payments**: 
   - Column for annual loan payments.

3. **Beginning of Year Principle**:
   - Starting principal amount at the beginning of each year.

4. **Interest (12%)**: 
   - Annual interest rate applied to the beginning principal.

5. **Amount Going to Repay Principal (Column 1-4)**:
   - Portion of the loan payment that goes toward repaying the principal, calculated as Loan Payments minus Interest.

6. **End of Year Principle (Column 3-5)**:
   - Remaining principal at the end of the year after repayment.

#### Table 2: Deductions and Cash Outflows

1. **End of Year**:
   - Row entries: Reflect end of each year, aligning with Table 1.

2. **Loan Payment**:
   - Annual loan payment amount.

3. **Maintenance Cost**:
   - Regular maintenance expenses.

4. **Depreciation (Dep.)**:
   - Annual depreciation costs.

5. **Interest (Int.)**:
   - Interest expense to be included.

6. **Total Deductions**:
   - Sum of maintenance, depreciation, interest, and other deductions.

7. **Tax Shield**:
   - Tax savings from deductions.

8. **After-tax Cash Outflow**:
   - Net cash outflow after accounting for the tax shield.

#### Table 3: Present Value Analysis

1. **Year**:
   - Corresponds to the end of year values in the previous tables.

2. **After-tax Cash Outflow**:
   - Cash outflows calculated after tax effects.

3. **PV of Outflows @ 12%**:
   - Present value of future cash outflows discounted at 12%.

These tables assist in evaluating the financial impact of loan payments, deductions, and cash flow over a three-year period, incorporating a 12% interest and discount rate.
