Question

Please show detail calculations for each question.

1) Marvel Company is considering the acquisition of two machines.

                                                                    Machine A             Machine B

Initial investment                                           $200,000               $200,000

Annual operating revenues (end of year)      $100,000               $160,000

Annual expenses (end of year)                        $25,000                 $85,000

Terminal salvage value                                    $10,000                 $20,000

Estimated useful life                                         5 years                   5 years

Minimum desired rate of return                            14%                       14%

Assume straight-line depreciation. Ignore income taxes. The present value of an ordinary annuity of one at 14% and 5 periods is 3.4331. The present value of one at 14% and 5 periods is 0.5194.

A) Calculate the net present value for both machines.

B) Assume there are enough funds to purchase both machines. Should both machines be purchased?

C) Assume there are funds to purchase only one machine. Which machine should be purchased?

Explanation / Answer

Machine A

Annual revenue = $1,00,000

Annual Expenses=$25,000

Net Cash Flow=$75000

Present Value for 5 year = $75000*3.4331

=$257482.50

Present Value of Terminal Cash Flow=$10000*0.5194

=$5194

Total Cash Inflow=$257482.50+$5194

=$262676.50

Initial Cash Outflow=$200,000

NPV=$272676.50-$200,000

NPV=$62676.50

Machine B

Annual Revenue=$1,60,000

Annual Expense=$85,000

Annual Cash Flow= $75000

Present Value of CashFlow= $75000*3.4331

=$257482.50

Terminal salvage Value =$20,000*.5194

=$10388

NPV= $257482.50+$10388-$2,00,000

=$67870

(b) If the funds are available then both machine can be purchased as both the Machine has positive NPV

(c) If there are funds to Purchase only one Machine then Machine B should be purchased as the same has higher NPV.
