Question

One year ago your company purchased a machine used in manufacturing for $90000, you can purchase it for $150,000 today. The CCA rate applicable to both machines is 30% and neither will have a long term salvage value. New machine will produce earnings before interest taxes depreciation and amortization of $35000 a year for the next 10 years. The current machine is expected to produce EBITDA of $21000 a year. Market value today of the current machine is 50000. The company’s tax rate is 40% and opportunity cost of capital 11%. Should the company replace the old machine and what is the NPV of the replacement.

Explanation / Answer

This new machine SHOULD NOT be replaced, because NPV of replacement decision is negative.

NPV = - 20120.40

Step - 1 Compute the investment in Year = 0

Here we sell the old machine for 50000 and purchase the new machine for 150000. So additional funds needed = 150000 - 50000 = 100000. But old machine book value = 90000 - 30% = 63000. Selling this machine for 50000 = 63000 - 50000 = 13000 of loss.

Tax saved due this loss = 13000 * 0.40 = 5200

Net Investment at ,,,,,,,, t = 0 ,,,,,,,,,, = 150000 - 50000 - 5200 = 94800

Step - 2

Now calculate the annual cashflows for 1 to 10 years and NPV

In the above table, depreciation calculation is the main aspect. CCA rate is given as 30%. The difference in book values of old machine and new machine = 150000 - 63000 = 87000

Year - 1 = 87000 * 0.3 = 26100

Year - 2 = 26100 * 0.70 = 18270

Under CCA method, depreciation continues to decrease year by year at a rate of..... ( 1 - depreciation)

So depreciation of any year = previous depreciation * 0.70
