ABC Corporation has a machine that requires repairs or should be replaced.ABC has evaluated the two options and calculated the cash flows resultingfrom each option as follows:

Option A: Repair the Machine

Year	Cash Flow
0	-50,000

2	20,100
3	18,900
4	17,100
5	13,700

Option B: Buy a new Machine

Year	Cash Flow
0	-400,000
1	51,300
2	155,000
3	127,800
4	126,900

2. Discounted Payback Period

3. Net Present Value (NPV)

4. Internal Rate of Return (IRR)

5. Modified Internal Rate of Return MIRR

6. Profitability Index (PI)

7. Calculate and graph the NPV profile for both options

8. Calculate cross-over rate if there is one

The company has a Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) of 12%. For this analysis, your boss asked you to conduct a sensitivity analysis by calculating NPV at three different discount rates: 12% (the current WACC), 14% and 16%.
