The machine's net present value is $3,481. The net present value is a method of calculating the present value of return of an investment either in capital purchases or projects. The net present value amount is acquired by subtracting the $ 37,000 initial investment from the net present value of $12,000 net cash flow for four years plus the present value of $1000 salvage value at the end of the 4th year.

Net Present Value = Present value of net cash flow + Present value of salvage value - Initial investment

$3,481 = $39,746 + $735 - $37,000

Answer:

The answer is $3,481.

Explanation:

We have the net present value of the machine is the sum of present value of the below cash flows discounted at the required rate of return 8%:

Cash outflow at Year 0: Cost of purchasing machine $37,000

4-year annuities from net cash inflow every year: $12,000 each year.

Salvage value recovery at the end of year 4: $1,000.

So the net present value is calculated as below:

-37,000 + (12,000/8%) x [ 1 - (1+8%)^(-4)] + 1,000/(1+8%)^4 = -37,000 + 39,745.52 + 735.03 = $3,480.55

So, the net present value of the machine is $3,841 ( round to the nearest whole dollar).

Answer:

Explanation:

The equivalent annual cost can be calculated dividing NPV by the annuity factor

In order to find NPV first

                                   Year1    Year2   Year3   Year4  Year5         Total

Operating and

Maintenance              18000 21000  24000  27000 30000          -

Discount factor(10%)  0.909   0.826   0.751   0.683   0.620           -

Discounted CFs          16362   17346  18024    18411   18600      88,713

Salvage                                                                          12000  

Discount factor(10%)                                                     0.620

Discounted salvage                                                      7440        (7440)

Inital Cost                   (55,000)                                                      (55,000)

NPV                                                                                                136,333

Calculation for EAC

NPV = 136,333

Annuity factor for 5 years = 3.790

Equivalent annual cost = NPV /Annuity factor

Equivalent annual cost = 136,333/3.790

Equivalent annual cost = 35,972
