Question

(Ignore income taxes in this problem.) Stutz Company purchased a machine with an estimated useful life of nine years. The machine will generate cash inflows of $10,800 each year over the next nine years. If the machine has no salvage value at the end of nine years, if Stutz's discount rate is 10%, and if the net present value of this investment is $22,000, then the purchase price of the machine was: (Round your 'PV factors' to three decimal places. Round your other intermediate calculations and final answer to the nearest whole dollar.) (Use Exhibit11b-1, Exhibit11b-2)

Explanation / Answer

NPV = -PV CFO + PV CF1 + ……

NPV = Net present value =$22,000

CFO= initial cash outflow (investment) =? i.e Purchase price of Machine

CF1 to CF9=10,800

PV= PV Factor

Discount rate = 10%

22,000=-CFO + (0.9091 x 10,800) + 0.8264 x 10,800+ …….

22,000= -CFO + 5.7590 x 10,800

22,000= -CFO + 62,197

CFO= 62,197-22,000

CFO= 40,197
