Question

1) Advanced Manufacturing is evaluating thhe prosposed acquisition of a new miling machine. The machine's base price is $155,000, and it would cost another $12,800 to modifiy if for special use by your firm. The machine falls into the MACRS 5-year class, and it would be sold after 3 years for $65,000. The machine would require an increase in net operatring working capital (inventory) of $6,500. The milling machine would have no effect on revenues, but it is expected to save the firm $77,000 per year in before-tax operating costs mainly labor. Advanced's marginal tax rate is 35%. Advanced's cost of capital is 10%.

a. ) What is the cash flow for time period 0?

b.) What are the net operating cash flows in Years 1, 2 and 3

c.) What is the terminal cash flow? Show work

d.) Compute the NPV, Payback Period and MIRR for the project

e.) Should the project be accepted? Explain briefly

f.) Compute the IRR for the project using Excel

Explanation / Answer
