Grouper Pix currently uses a six-year-old molding machine to manufacture silver picture frames. The company paid $87,000 for the machine, which was state of the art at the time of purchase. Although the machine will likely last another ten years, it will need a $9,000 overhaul in four years. More important, it does not provide enough capacity to meet customer demand. The company currently produces and sells 15,000 frames per year, generating a total contribution margin of $84,000. Martson Molders currently sells a molding machine that will allow Grouper Pix to increase production and sales to 20,000 frames per year. The machine, which has a ten-year life, sells for $122,000 and would cost $14,000 per year to operate. Grouper Pixs current machine costs only $8,000 per year to operate. If Grouper Pix purchases the new machine, the old machine could be sold at its book value of $5,000. The new machine is expected to have a salvage value of $20,000 at the end of its ten-year life. Grouper Pix uses straight-line depreciation.

a)Calculate the new machines net present value assuming a 11% discount rate. (For calculation purposes, use 4 decimal places as displayed in the factor table provided and round final answer to 0 decimal place, e.g. 58,971.) Net Present Value $_______

b) Use Excel or a similar spreadsheet application to calculate the new machines internal rate of return. (Round answer to 2 decimal places, e.g. 1.25%.) Internal rate of return __________________%

c) Calculate the new machines payback period. (Round answer to 2 decimal places, e.g. 1.25.) Payback period ____________ yearss
