To manufacture this product, the company needs to buy a new machine at a $490,000 cost with an expected four-year life and a $18,300 salvage value. All sales are for cash, and all costs are out of pocket except for depreciation on the new machine. Additional information includes the following. Compute straight-line depreciation for each year of this new machine's life. Determine expected net income and net cash flow for each year of this machine's life. Compute this machine's payback period, assuming that cash flows occur evenly throughout each year Compute the net present value for this machine using a discount rate of 6% and assuming that cash flows occur at each year-end.

Explanation / Answer

A
Depreciation under-SLM = (490000-18300)/4 = $117925

Net income = 90566.5
Net cashflow = 208491.5

C
Payback Period = Time taken to cover investment
Thus,
490000 = 208491.5*n
n = 2.35 years

D
Accounting Rate of Return = Net Cashflow / Investment
= 208491.5/490000 = 42.55%

E
NPV = -490000 + 208491.5*PVIFA(6%,4) + 18300*PVIF(6%,4)
= $246939.14
