Answer:

The firm should: ___________

c. Reject the project because the NPV is negative $120,921

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Pro Forma Income Statement:

Sales           $237,000

Total Cost      137,000

Depreciation 100,000

EBIT              $0

Taxes             0

Net income $0

Cost of machine = $500,000

Required rate of return = 10%

Annual revenue from new machine = $237,000

Annual operational costs = $137,000

Annual net cash flow = $100,000

Depreciation expense = $100,000

Annuity factor at 10% for 5 years = 3.791

PV Annuity of $100,000 = $100,000 * 3.791 = $379,100

NPV = $379,100 - $500,000 = $120,900

b) The Net present value of the project is $120,900 (the difference between the total present value of cash inflow of $379,100 and the initial cash outflow of $500,000).

<u>Investment</u>       <u>Return</u>     <u>Taxable amount</u>    <u>Tax Rate</u>       <u>After-tax return</u>

Dividend              9.8%             30% (n1)              18%             9.2708% (w1)

Municipal bond   8.8%              0%                      18%             8.8%

Corporate bond   11.75%          100%                   18%             9.635% (w2)

The after tax return with on the best investment alternative is 9.635% for corporate bonds

<u>Workings</u>:

W1

9.8 *0.3*0.18 = 0.5292%

Return after tax = 9.8% -0.5292% = 9.2708%

w2

18.75*0.18 =2.115%

Return after tax = 11.75% -2.115% = 9.635%

<u>Notes:</u>

n1 : 70% of the dividends are excluded from taxation. Only 30% is to be taxed
