PC Shopping Network may upgrade its modem pool. It last upgraded 3 years ago, when it spent $129 million on equipment with an assumed life of 6 years and an assumed salvage value of $12 million for tax purposes. The firm uses straight-line depreciation. The old equipment can be sold today for $71 million. A new modem pool can be installed today for $156 million. This will have a 3-year life, and will be depreciated to zero using straight-line depreciation. The new equipment will enable the firm to increase sales by $32 million per year and decrease operating costs by $11 million per year. At the end of 3 years, the new equipment will be worthless. Assume the firm's tax rate is 35% and the discount rate for projects of this sort is 10%. (Enter your answers in millions. For example, an answer of $13,000,000 should be entered as 13. Use minus sign to enter cash outflows, if any.)

Problem 1: What is the net cash flow at time 0 if the old equipment is replaced?

Problem 2: What is the incremental cash flow in year 1?

Problem 3: What is the NPV of the replacement project?

Problem 4: Now ignore straight-line depreciation and assume that both new and old equipment are in an asset class with a CCA rate of 30%. PC Shopping Network has other assets in this asset class. What is the NPV of the replacement project? For this part, assume that the new equipment will have a salvage value of $27 million at the end of 3 years. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
