Question

Western Electronics (WE) is reviewing the following data relating to a new equipment proposal: Net initial investment outlay After-tax cash inflow from disposal of the asset after 5 years $10,000 Present value of an annuity of $i at 128for 5 years Present value of $1 at 128 in 5 years $50,000 3.605 0.567 WE expects the net after-tax savings in cash outflows from the investment to be equal in each of the 5 years. What is the minimum amount of after-tax annual savings oncluding depreciation effects) needed to make the investment yield a 12% return (rounded to the nearest whole dollar)?
$13,889.
$12,297
$8,189.
$11,111
$15,678

Answer 1

Answer:

$12.297

Explanation:

From the given information:

The required amount for the after-tax annual savings to yield a return of 12% can be calculated as follows:

The Present value PV of future salvage value, after tax is:

= $10000 × 0.567

= $5670

From the original outlay of investment which is = $50000

The net amount to be recovered in terms of the present value = $50000 - $5670

= $44330

Finally, the required amount for the after-tax annual savings = $\dfrac{\ 44330}{3.605}$

= $12.297
