Calculate the after-tax cash inflows and outflows of the "modernize" and "replace" alternatives over the 2021 - 2027 period and calculate the net present value for each alternative. Let's begin with the "modernize" alternative. Start by computing the present value of the after-tax cash flows from operations, then calculate the present value of the after-tax cash savings from depreciation and the terminal disposal value, and finally, determine the total net present value (NPV) of the investment for the "modernize" alternative. (Round intermediary calculations and your final answers to the nearest whole dollar. Use a minus sign or parentheses for a negative present value of net cash flows.)

For simplicity, we assume no change in prices or costs in future years. The investment will be made at the beginning of 2021, and all transactions thereafter occur on the last day of the year. Modern Chips' required rate of return is 8%. There is no difference between the "modernize" and "replace" alternatives in terms of required working capital. Modern Chips pays a 45% tax rate on all income. Proceeds from sales of equipment above book value are taxed at the same 45% rate. Enter any number in the edit fields and then click Check Answer.

Calculate the after-tax cash inflows and outflows of the "modernize" and "replace" alternatives over the 2021 - 2027 period. 2. Calculate the net present value of the "modernize" and "replace" alternatives. 3. Suppose Modern Chips is planning to build several more plants. It wants to have the most advantageous tax position possible. Modern Chips has been approached by Spain, Malaysia, and Australia to construct plants in their countries. Briefly describe in qualitative terms the income tax features that would be advantageous to Modern Chips. Next year, in 2021, Modern Chips expects to deliver 610 prototype chips at an average price of $90,000. Modern Chips' marketing vice president forecasts growth of 65 prototype chips per year through 2027. That is, demand will be 610 in 2021, 675 in 2022, 740 in 2023, and so on. The plant cannot produce more than 595 prototype chips annually. To meet future demand, Modern Chips must either modernize the plant or replace it. The old equipment is fully depreciated and can be sold for $4,500,000 if the plant is replaced. If the plant is modernized, the costs to modernize it are to be capitalized and depreciated over the useful life of the modernized plant. The old equipment is retained as part of the "modernize" alternative. Print Done Print Done
