Question

Roten Manufacturing Company is considering an investment on a machine for producing auto parts. The machine costs $250,000 today, will have a five-year life and will be depreciated over a five-year life on a straight-line basis toward a zero salvage value. The company paid a consulting company $7,000 last year to help them decide whether there is a sufficient demand for the auto parts. In addition to the investment on the machine, the company also invests $15,000 in net working capital.

Explanation / Answer

Fee paid to consulting company is not considered in FCF analysis because expense is already incurred. This is called sunk cost.

Annual interest $20,000 is also not considered in FCF analysis because cost of debt is included in cost of capital (WACC)

CF0 = -265,000

CF5 = 83,200

Payback period = 3.89 Years
