Reference no: EM13892222

You bought a survey device at $750,000 at beginning of year 1. You expect to use it to generate an annual revenue of $350,000 for year 1 and increase at 4% per year. The operating expenses will be $ 120,000 for year 1 and increase at 3% per year. At end of year 3, you can sell the device for $300,000 and close the business. Assuming you will have an income tax rate of 30% every year and a capital gain tax rate of 15% at year 3 and you will take depreciation charge every year based on the MACRS schedule as follows:

Year            1            20%
Year            2            32%
Year            3            19.2%

Part 1

Assuming all cash investment and using a MARR of 12%, what is the Net Present Value of this 3-year business and what is the IRR? Show the results as formatted below

Tax @30% tax rate




Net Income




CFAT

 

 

 

Also clearly show the calculations of each year's Depreciation Charges, Cash Flow After Tax at Year 3 for selling of the device and calculations of the present value and IRR, separately.

Part 2

Assuming you will obtain a bank loan of $450,000 at an interest rate of 6% per year. The loan requires interest payment only at end of each year and the loan principle is due at end of the 3rd year (like a bond arrangement). Everything else stays the same as Part 1. Re-calculate everything as you did in Part 1.

Based on the result of Part 2, make your recommendation as which way to go, Part 1 or Part 2, and explain how financial leverage works?
