Summary Introduction

Given that a company which had purchased a machine one year ago at $110,000 came to know that a new machine which offers many advantages can be purchased at present for $150,000 and further the following:

  • The new machine will be depreciated on a straight line basis over 10 years and has no salvage value.
  • The new machine will give an EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) every year of $40,000 for 10 years.
  • The machine currently installed which was bought a year ago is being depreciated on a straight line basis over a period of 11 years and produces an EBITDA of $20,000 per year. The present machine will have no salvage value after full depreciation.
  • The present market value or disposal value of the current machine is $50,000.
  • The company’s present income tax rate is 45% and the opportunity cost of capital for this type of equipment is 10%

Determine whether it is profitable to replace one-year-old machine.
