Poe Company is considering the purchase of new equipment costing $84,000. The projected net cash flows are $39,000 for the first two years and $34,000 for years three and four. The revenue is to be received at the end of each year. The machine has a useful life of 4 years and no salvage value. Poe requires a 10% return on its investments. The present value of an annuity of 1 and present value of an annuity for different periods is presented below. Compute the net present value of the machine.

$(24,411).

$(12,140).

$24,411.

$12,140.

Periods Present Value of 1 at 10% Present Value of an Annuity of 1 at 10% 1 0.9091 0.9091 2 0.8264 1.7355 3 0.7513 2.4869 4 0.6830 3.1699

Explanation / Answer

Net present value of the machine = ($39,000 * 1.7355) + ($34,000 * 1.4344) - $84,000

Net present value of the machine = $32,454
