Smith Corp is considering purchasing a new machine, which costs $150,000, has an estimated useful life of 6 years, and will have a salvage value of $20,000 at the end of year 6. This machine falls into the MACRS 5-year class, and under current law, the annual depreciation factors are: .20, .32, .19, .12, .11, and .06. The installation cost for this machine would amount to $35,000 which has to be capitalized along with the cost of the machine. Investment in additional working capital would amount to $25,000 but this would be realized in full at the end of year 6.
This new machine which replace an old machine with a current market value of $10,000.
New sales attributably to the new machine would amount to $75,000 per year. Operating expenses, excluding depreciation, would amount to $20,000 per year.
Smith's marginal tax rate is 30%, and cost of capital is 12%.
Calculate the net cash flows for the year 0 and the years 1 thru 6. What is the NPV of the project? What is the modified internal rate of return for this project?
