To manufacture this product, the company needs to buy a new machine at a $499,000 cost with an expected four-year life and a $15,000 salvage value. All sales are for cash, and all costs are out-of-pocket, except for depreciation on the new machine. Additional information includes the following. (PV of $1, FV of $1, PVA of $1, and FVA of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.) $1,990,000 Expected annual sales of new product Expected annual costs of new product Direct materials Direct labor Overhead (excluding straight-line depreciation on new machine) Selling and administrative expenses Income taxes 465,000 679,000 336,000 154,000 32% Required 1. Compute straight-line depreciation for each year of this new machine's life 2. Determine expected net income and net cash flow for each year of this machine's life 3. Compute this machine's payback period, assuming that cash flows occur evenly throughout each year. 4. Compute this machine's accounting rate of return, assuming that income is earned evenly throughout each year. 5. Compute the net present value for this machine using a discount rate of 7% and assuming that cash flows occur at each year-end (Hint Salvage value is a cash inflow at the end of the asset's life.)

Explanation / Answer

1.Straight Line Depreciation

Straight Line Depreciation for each year

= [Cost of the machine – Salvage Value ] / Useful life

= [$499,000 – 15,000] / 4 Years

= $121,000 per year
