Question

California Health Center, a for-profit hospital, is evaluating the purchase of new diagnostic equipment. The equipment, which costs $600,000, has an expected life of 5 years and an estimated pretax salvage value of $200,000 at that time. The equipment is expected to be use 15 times a day for 250 days a year for each year of the project's life. On average, each procedure is expected to generate $80 in collections, which is ned of bad debt losses and contractual allowances, in its first year of use. Thus, net revenues for year 1 are estimates at 15*250*$80 = $300,000. Labor and maintenance costs are expected to be $100,000 during the first year of operation, while utilities will cost another $10,000 and cash overhead will increase by $5,000 in year 1. the cost of expandable supplies is expected to average $5 per procedure during the first year. all costs and revenue, except depreciation, are expected to incresae at 5% inflation rate after the first year the equipment falls into the MACRS five-year class for tax depreciation and is subject to the following depreciation allowances: year allowance depreciation cost of new equipment = $                     600,000.00 1 0.2 $      120,000.00 life of new equipment = 5 years 2 0.32 $      192,000.00 salvage value = $                     200,000.00 3 0.19 $      114,000.00 Year 1 4 0.12 $         72,000.00 annual revenue year 1= $                     300,000.00 5 0.11 $         66,000.00 cost of salaries = $                     100,000.00 6 0.06 $         36,000.00 utilities = $                        10,000.00 1 cash overhead = $                           5,000.00 cost of expandable suppies = $                                     5.00 per procedure $                        18,750.00 per year tax = 40% WACC 10% cost of capital cost and revenue increase each year at rate of inflation= 5% the hospital's tax rate is 40%, and its corporate cost of capital is 10% A estimate the projects net cash flows over its 5-year estimated life (hint: use the following format as a guide) Year 0 1 2 3 4 5 equipment cost $    (600,000.00) net revenues $      300,000.00 $      315,000.00 $            330,750.00 $         347,287.50 $                     364,651.88 less: labor/maintenance costs $    (100,000.00) $    (105,000.00) $          (110,250.00) $       (115,762.50) $                   (121,550.63) utilities costs $       (10,000.00) $       (10,500.00) $             (11,025.00) $          (11,576.25) $                      (12,155.06) supplies $       (18,750.00) $       (19,687.50) $             (20,671.88) $          (21,705.47) $                      (22,790.74) incremental overhead $          (5,000.00) $          (5,250.00) $                (5,512.50) $             (5,788.13) $                         (6,077.53) depreciation $    (120,000.00) $    (192,000.00) $          (114,000.00) $          (72,000.00) $                      (66,000.00) operating income $         46,250.00 $       (17,437.50) $               69,290.63 $         120,455.16 $                     136,077.91 taxes 40% 40% 40% 40% 40% net operating income $    (600,000.00) $         27,750.00 $       (10,462.50) $               41,574.38 $            72,273.09 $                        81,646.75 plus: depreciaiton $      120,000.00 $      192,000.00 $            114,000.00 $            72,000.00 $                        66,000.00 Plus: equipment salve value $                     134,400.00 net cash flow $      147,750.00 $      181,537.50 $            155,574.38 $         144,273.09 $                     282,046.75 B what are the projects's NPV and IRR (assume for now that the project has average risk California Health Center, a for-profit hospital, is evaluating the purchase of new diagnostic equipment.
