Byron Corp Is consldering the purchase of a new plece of equipment. The cost savings from the equipment would result In an annual Increase in cash flow of $100,000. The equipment will have an Initial cost of $400,000 and have a 5 year life. The salvage value of the equipment Is estimated to be $75,000. lf the hurdle rate ls 10%, what is the approximate net present value? Ignore Income taxes. Euture value of$1 Round your Py tctors to 4 decimal places and final answer to the nearest dollar amount) o $(20,920) O $25,648 O $100.000 O $175.000

Explanation / Answer

Answer = B $25,648

Initial cost = 400,000

Useful life = 5 years

Salvage value = 75,000

Cost of capital = 10%

Annual saving = 100,000

PVAF@10% for 5 years = 3.7908

PVF@10% of 5th Year = 0.6209

NPV = Present value of cash inflows + Present value of Salvage value – initial cash outflow

= (Annual cash inflow* PVAF@10% for 5 years) + (Salvage value* PVF@10% of 5th Year) - initial cash outflow

= (100,000*3.7908) + (75,000*0.6209) - 400,000

NPV = $25,647.5 or 25,648
