Question

Manufacturing, Inc. has a manufacturing machine that needs attention. The company is considering two options. Option 1 is to refurbish the current machine at a cost of $1,200,000. If refurbished, Kilmer expects the machine to last another 8 years and then have no residual value. Option 2 is to replace the machine at a cost of $4,000,000. A new machine would last 10 years and have no residual value. Kilmer expects the following net cash inflows from the two options:

$100,000

$440,000

Kilmer uses straight-line depreciation and requires an annual return of 10%.

Requirement 1. Compute the payback, the ARR, the NPV, and the profitability index of these two options.

Compute the payback for both options. Begin by completing the payback schedule for Option 1 (refurbish).

Explanation / Answer

Option 1:

Payback period :

$ 140,000

Payback period = 4 + (1,200,000 - 1,120,000) / (1,260,000 - 1,120,000) = 4.57 years

Accounting rate of return = Total cash flows - Total depreciation / Net Investment x 100 = $ 1,680,000 - $ 1,200,000 / 1,200,000 = 40%

NPV = 100,000 x 0.909 + 440,000 x 0.826 + 340,000 x 0.751 + 240,000 x 0.683 x 140,000 x 2.165 - 1,200,000 = $ (90,900 + 363,440 + 255,340+ 163,920 + 303,100) - 1,200,000 = $ (23,300)

Profitability Index = 1,176,700 / 1,200,000 = 0.98

Option 2:

Payback period:

Payback period = 4 + 4,000,000 - 3,900,000 / 4,250,000 - 3,900,000 = 4.28 years

Accounting rate of return = Total cash flows - Total depreciation / Net investment x 100 = 6,000,000 - 4,000,000 / 4000,000 = 50%

NPV = 2,250,000 x 0.909 + 650,000 x 0.826 + 550,000 x 0.751 + 450,000 x 0.683 + 350,000 x 2.975 - 4,000,000 = 2,045,250 + 536,900 + 413,050 + 307,350 + 1,041,250 - 4,000,000 = $ 343,800

Profitability Index = $ 4,343,800 / $ 4,000,000 = 1.09

Kilmer should choose Option 2 because this option has a shorter payback period, and ARR that is higher than the other option, a higher NPV, and its profitability index is greater.
