Question

Lotus Engineering is considering including two pieces of equipment, a truck and an overhead pulley system, in this yeas capital budget. The projects are independent. The firms cost of capital is 12%. The after tax cash flows, including depreciation, for the truck and the pulley are as follows:
Year Truck Pulley
0 -50000 -70000
1 10000 15000
2 10000 15000
3 10000 15000
4 10000 15000
5 10000 15000
6 10000 15000
7 10000 15000

Explanation / Answer

NPV of truck is 10000/(1.12)+10000/(1.12)^2+10000/(1.12)^3+10000/(1.12)^4+10000/(1.12)^5+10000/(1.12)^6+10000/(1.12)^7-50000


= -45637.56


NPV for pulley

=15000/(1.12)+15000/(1.12)^2+15000/(1.12)^3+15000/(1.12)^4+15000/(1.12)^5+15000/(1.12)^6+10000/(1.12)^7-70000

= -1543.65
