2. You have been asked by the president of Ellis Construction Company, headquartered in Toledo, to evaluate the proposed acquisition of a new earthmover. The movers basic price is $75,000, and it will cost another $15,000 to modify it for special use by Ellis Construction. Assume that the mover falls into the MACRS 3-year class. It will be sold after 3 years for $25,000, and it will require an increase in working capital (spare parts inventory) of $5,000, which will be recovered in full at the end of the projects life. The earthmover purchase will have no effect on revenues, but it is expected to save Ellis $30,000 per year in before-tax operating costs, mainly labor. Elliss marginal tax rate is 40%. The cost of capital (discount rate) is 9%. Use the following 3-year MACRS schedule: 0.3333, 0.4445, 0.1481, and 0.0741. Compute the NPV and IRR of the project. Would you ask the president to buy the equipment?
