Chapter 12, Problem 12.1WUE

Birkenstock is considering an investment in a nylon-knitting machine. The machine requires an initial investment of $27,000, has a 5-year life, and has no residual value at the end of the 5 years. The company's cost of capital is 10.87%. Known with less certainty are the actual after-tax cash inflows for each of the 5 years. The company has estimated expected cash inflows for three scenarios: pessimistic, most likely, and optimistic. These expected cash inflows are listed in the following table. Calculate the range for the NPV given each scenario.

Summary Introduction

To discuss:

The B is considered as investment in the NK Machine, the machine requires the initial investment of the $27,000 of the five years life period and have the residual value of the five years and the capital cost is 10.87%, and the company’s estimated expected cash inflows haves scenarios such as pessimistic, most likely and optimistic. These values are present in the table below. Need to determine the net present value of the current situation.

Expected cash inflows
Year Pessimistic ($) Most likely ($) Optimistic ($)
1 6,750 9,250 11,750
2 7,250 10,250 13,250
3 8,750 11,750 15,750
4 7,750 10,750 12,750
5 5,750 7,750 8,750

Introduction:

The net present value is the variation between present cash inflows values and outflow values for a time period. The net present is used the capital budgeting projects to analyse the profitability of the project

Explanation of Solution

Through the sensitivity analysis the twelve percent cost of capital to discount all of the cash flows for each scenarios yield to the following net present value ranges to $19,109.78.

The most likely value is -$6,516.99

The optimistic value is $15,826.30

St. Johns River Shipyards' welding machine is 15 years old, fully depreciated, and has no salvage value. However, even though it is old, it is still functional as originally designed and can be used for quite a while longer. A new welder will cost $181,500 and have an estimated life of 8 years with no salvage value. The new welder will be much more efficient, however, and this enhanced efficiency will increase earnings before depreciation from $28,000 to $78,500 per year. The new machine will be depreciated over its 5-year MACRS recovery period, so the applicable depreciation rates are 20.00%, 32.00%, 19.20%, 11.52%, 11.52%, and 5.76%. The applicable corporate tax rate is 25%, and the project cost of capital is 13%. What is the NPV if the firm replaces the old welder with the new one? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest dollar. Negative value, if any, should be indicated by a minus sign.
