A shoe manufacturer is evaluating new equipment that would custom fit athletic shoes. The new equipment costs $114,000 and will generate $45,000 in net cash flows for five years. Note: Negative cumulative cash flows should be indicated with a minus sign. Round break-even time answers to two decimal places. Determine the break-even time for this equipment. Year Initial investment Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4 Year 5 Net Cash Flow x $ (114,000) x 45,000 x 45,000 x 45,000 x 45,000 x 45,000 x Present Value of 1 at 10% 1.0000 0.9091 0.8264 = 0.7513 = 0.6830 = 0.6209 = Present Value of Net Cash Flows $ (114,000) $ Cumulative Present Value of Net Cash Flows (114,000)
