Looner Industries is currently analyzing the purchase of a new machine that costs $158,000 and requires $19,900 in installation costs. Purchase of this machine is expected to result in an increase in net working capital of $29,600 to support the expanded level of operations. The firm plans to depreciate the machine under MACRS using a five-year recovery period (see the table attached for the applicable depreciation percentages) and expects to sell the machine to net $10,300 before taxes at the end of its usable life. The firm is subject to a 21% tax rate c. Assuming a five-year usable life, calculate the terminal cash flow if the machine were sold to net (1) $8,895 or (2) $169,900 (before taxes) at the end of five years. d. Discuss the effect of sale price on terminal cash flow using your findings in part c.

Scription Inc. has additional cash available for investment and considers replacing the old factory equipment with a new one. There are two options for Scription. One option is to purchase a new equipment from Supplier A for $100,000. Supplier A equipment has a useful life of 10 years with after-tax residual value, $5,000 and can save $60,000 annually. The other option is with Supplier B. Supplier B would charge $120,000 for a new equipment. Supplier B equipment would generate $50,000 annual cost saving. Its useful life is 12 years and the after-tax residual value of $6,000. Assume the required rate of return for both options is 8%. Using NPV method, determine which option is the more attractive. Must show your computation steps. Use the appropriate tables in Appendix A to obtain the relevant present value factor and round up your final answer to the nearest dollar.
