Question

Rooney, Inc. is considering the purchase of a new machine costing $700,000. The machine's useful life is expected to be 9 years with no salvage value. The straight-line depreciation method will be used. The net increase in annual after tax cash flow is expected to be $154,000. Rooney estimates its cost of capital to be 13%. (The present value of a $1 annuity for 9 years at 13% is 5.132, and the present value of $1 to be received in 9 years is 0.333)

The net present value of the investment in the machine under consideration is:

$154,000.

$90,328.

$77,778.

$79,100.

Explanation / Answer

The net present value of the investment in the machine under consideration is $90,328. Statement showing Cash flows Particulars Time PVf@13% Amount PV Cash Outflows                           -                                           1.00            (700,000.00)                (700,000.00) PV of Cash outflows = PVCO                (700,000.00) Cash inflows 1-9                                    5.1320              154,000.00                   790,328.00 Cash inflows (Salvage Value)                      9.00                                    0.3330                                -                                      -   PV of Cash Inflows =PVCI                   790,328.00 NPV= PVCI - PVCO                     90,328.00
