Question

You must evaluate a proposal to buy a new milling machine. The base price is $108,000, and shipping and installation costswould add another $12,500. The machine falls into the MACRS3-year class, and it would be sold after 3 years for $65,000. The applicable depreciation rates are 33, 45, 15 and 7 percent asdiscussed in Appendix 12A of your text book. The machinewould require a $5,500 increase in working capital (increasedinventory less increased accounts payable). There would be noeffect on revenues, but pre-tax labor costs would decline by$44,000 per year. The marginal tax rate is 35 percent, andthe WACC is 12 percent. Also, the firm spent $5,000 last yearinvestigating the feasibility of using the machine.

What is the terminal year cash flow?

Explanation / Answer

After 4 years the Bookvalue of the Machine = ($108,000 + $12,500) * 0.07                                                                                                                                   = $120,500 * 0.07                                                                  = $$8,435 Calculating TerminalCashflows: Salvage Value $65,000.00 Less:After-tax Salvage Value ($19,797.75) ($65,000 - $8,435) * 0.35 Return on NWC $5,500 Terminal Cashflows $50,702.25 After 4 years the Bookvalue of the Machine = ($108,000 + $12,500) * 0.07                                                                                                                                   = $120,500 * 0.07                                                                  = $$8,435 Calculating TerminalCashflows: Salvage Value $65,000.00 Less:After-tax Salvage Value ($19,797.75) ($65,000 - $8,435) * 0.35 Return on NWC $5,500 Terminal Cashflows $50,702.25
