Although the Chen Company's milling machine is old, it is still in relatively good working order and would last for another 10 y

ears. It is inefficient compared to modern standards, though, and so the company is considering replacing it. The new milling machine, at a cost of $120,000 delivered and installed, would also last for 10 years and would produce after-tax cash flows (labor savings and depreciation tax savings) of $18,900 per year. It would have zero salvage value at the end of its life. The Project cost of capital is 9%, and its marginal tax rate is 35%. Should Chen buy the new machine? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest cent. Negative value, if any, should be indicated by a minus sign.NPV: $ _________

Answer:

Chen should buy the new machine since it produces a positive NPV of  $1,294

Explanation:

Summary of the Project Cash Flows is as follows :

Year 0                                  = ($120,000)

Year 1 to Year 10                 =    $18,900

The Project cost of capital = 9%

Calculation of the Project`s NPV :

<em>NPV can be calculated from this summary using a financial calculator as :</em>

<em>CF0 = ($120,000)</em>

<em>CF1  = $18,900</em>

<em>Nj     = 10</em>

<em>i       = 9 %</em>

<em>NPV =  ? </em>

<em>NPV = $1,293.73 or $1,294</em>

The Project is accepted only if it has a Positive NPV

Conclusion,

Chen should buy the new machine since it produces a positive NPV of  $1,294.

Natali [406]

Explanation:

i=interest rate

X=current rate

2X = double current rate

n = number of years

Calculate time it takes to double at 3%:

2X = X(1+i)^n

simplify by cancelling out X

(1+i)^n = 2

substitute i = 3%

(1.03)^n =2

take log

n*log(1.03)  = log(2)

n = log(2)/log(1.03) = 0.6931/0.02956 = 23.45 years

Similarly, for growth rate of 7%,

n = log(2)/log(1.07) = 0.6931 / 0.06766 = 10.24 years

So the difference is 23.45-10.24 = 13.21 years (to the hundredth)  sooner
