Explanation / Answer

Using a 5-yr MACRS schedule, depreciation for the proposed machine for 5 years is:

                Yr.           1:           170000 * 0.2        = 34000

                                2:            170000 * 0.32      = 54400

                                3:                                               32640

                                4:                                               19580

                                5:                                               19580

Terminal cash flow:

                Sale of proposed machine (at book value):

                                Book value = 170000 – 34000 – 54400 – 32640 – 19580 – 19580 = 9800

Existing machine:

Sale of existing machine (included in initial cash flows):

                Book value = 100000 – (100000 * 0.2) – (100000 * 0.32) = 48000

                Cash flow from sale: 105000 – (105000 – 48000) * 0.4 = 82200

Operating cash flows lost:

The existing machine is to be used for 5 more years:

                Depreciation:

Yr.           1:           100000 * 0.192   = 19200

                                2:            100000 * 0.1152 = 11520

                                3:            100000 * 0.1152 = 11520

                                4:            100000 * 0.0576 = 5760

                                5:            0

NPV:

(-170000 + 82200)              +              (115600 – 103680)/1.1

+ (123760 – 94608)/1.1^2    +          (115052 – 88608) / 1.1^3                  +              (109832 – 86304)/1.1^4

+ (109832 + 9800 – 84000) / 1.1^5                                =              5191
