Rosenholm Corporation uses a discount rate of 18% in its capital budgeting. Partial analysis of an investment in automated equipment with a useful life of 5 years has thus far yielded a net present value of -$329,400. This analysis did not include any estimates of the intangible benefits of automating this process nor did it include any estimate of the salvage value of the equipment. (Ignore income taxes.) Click here to view Exhibit 13B-1 and Exhibit 13B-2 to determine the appropriate discount factor(s) using tables. Required: a. Ignoring any salvage value, how large would the additional cash flow per year from the intangible benefits have to be to make the investment in the automated equipment financially attractive? (Round discount factor(s) to 3 decimal places and final answer to the nearest dollar amount. Enter all your answer as positive value. Omit the sign in your response.) Minimum annual cash flows b. Ignoring any cash flows from intangible benefits, how large would the salvage value of the automated equipment have to be to make the investment in the automated equipment financially attractive? (Round discount factor(s) to 3 decimal places and final answer to the nearest dollar amount. Enter all your answer as positive value. Omit the sign in your response.) Minimum salvage value

Explanation / Answer

MINIMUM ANNUAL CASH FLOW TO MAKE THE INVESTMENT IN AUTOMATED EQUIPMENT FINANCIAL ATTRACTIVE.-

MINIMUM CASH FLOW THAT WOULD MAKE THE NPV BREAK EVEN I;E NPV TO 0.

ANNUAL CASH FLOW= NPV / PVAF 18% 5YEARS

PVAF= PRESENT VALUE ANNUITY FACTOR

ANNUAL CASH FLOW= ($329400) / 3.127

= $105340.582

SALVAGE VALUE NEEDED TO MAKE THE INVESTMENT IN AUTOMATED EQUIPMENT FINANCIAL ATTRACTIVE.-

MINIMUM SALVAGE VALUE THAT WOULD MAKE THE NPV BREAK EVEN I;E NPV TO 0.

MINIMUM SALVAGE VALUE= NPV / PVIF 18% 5YEARS

PVAF= PRESENT VALUE INTEREST FACTOR

MINIMUM SALVAGE VALUE= ($329400) / 0.437

= $753775.743
