Madison would use the 3-year MACRS method to depreciate the machine, and management thinks the machine would have a value of $33,000 at the end of its 5-year operating life. The applicable depreciation rates are 33.33%, 44.45%, 14.81%, and 7.41%. Working capital would increase by $35,000 initially, but it would be recovered at the end of the project's 5-year life. Madison's marginal tax rate is 25%, and a 10% cost of capital is appropriate for the project. 1. Calculate the project's NPV, IRR, MIRR, and payback. 2. Assume management is unsure about the $110,000 cost savings this figure could deviate by as much as plus or minus 20%. What would the NPV be under each of these extremes? 3.

This machine is being depreciated on a straight-line basis, and it has 6 years of remaining life. Its current book value is $2,100, and it can be sold for $2,600 at this time. Thus, the annual depreciation expense is $2,100/6 = $350 per year. If the old machine is not replaced, it can be sold for $500 at the end of its useful life. Dauten is offered a replacement machine which has a cost of $9,000, an estimated useful life of 6 years, and an estimated salvage value of $800. The replacement machine is eligible for 100% bonus depreciation at the time of purchase. The replacement machine would permit an output expansion, so sales would rise by $800 per year; even so, the new machine's much greater efficiency would cause operating expenses to decline by $1,000 per year. The new machine would require that inventories be increased by $2,500, but accounts payable would…arrow_forward
- You must evaluate the purchase of a spectrometer for the R&D department. The base price is $140,000, and it would cost another $30,000 to modify the equipment for special use by the firm. The equipment falls into the MACRS 4 year class and would be sold after 4 years for $60,000. The applicable depreciation rates are 33%, 45%, 15% and 7%. The equipment would require an $8000 increase in net operating working capital. The project would have no effect on revenues, but it should save the firm $50,000 per year before-tax labour costs.
