Question 14
Nevland Corporation is considering the purchase of a machine that would cost $130,000 and would last for 6 years. At the end of 6 years, the machine would have a salvage value of $18,000. By reducing labor and other operating costs, the machine would provide annual cost savings of $44,000. The company requires a minimum pretax return of 19% on all investment projects. The net present value of the proposed project is closest to (Ignore income taxes.):
$38,040
$26,376
$74,902
$20,040
Explanation / Answer
Present value of inflows=cash inflow*Present value of discounting factor(rate%,time period)
=44000/1.19+44000/1.19^2+...........+44000/1.19^6+18000/1.19^6
=$44000*3.410+$18000*0.352
=$156376
NPV=Present value of inflows-Present value of outflows
=$156376-$130,000
=$26,376(Approx)
