Answer:
Explanation:
initial outlay $12,000 + ($2,900 - $700) = $14,200
depreciable value = $10,800
depreciation per year:
- $2,160
- $3,456
- $2,073.60
- $1,244.16
- $1,244.16
- $622.08
incremental revenues = $2,000 + $1,400 = $3,400
CF year 0 = -$14,200
CF year 1 = [($3,400 - $2,160) x 0.6] + $2,160 = $2,904
CF year 2 = [($3,400 - $3,456) x 0.6] + $3,456 = $3,422.40
CF year 3 = [($3,400 - $2,073.60) x 0.6] + $2,073.60 = $2,869.44
CF year 4 = [($3,400 - $1,244.16) x 0.6] + $1,244.16 = $2,537.66
CF year 5 = [($3,400 - $1,244.16) x 0.6] + $1,244.16 = $2,537.66
CF year 6 = [($3,400 - $622.08) x 0.6] + $622.08 + $1,200 + $2,200 = $5,688.83
WACC = 12%
a) the steamer should not be replaced, since the NPV is negative.
b) Using a financial calculator, NPV = -$14,200 + $13,298.29 = -$901.71
