The current machine is likely to be operable for 5 more years but will have zero value after the 5 years. You can sell the current machine now for $120,000. The new machine will cost $650,000 and will require other cash investments totally $105,000 to get the machine functioning. The new machine will reduce the average amount of time required to make products - resulting in $130,000 in additional cash inflows during the first year after acquisition and $110,000 each additional year of use. The new machine will have a five-year life, and zero disposal value. The new machine will have no value at the end of the 5 years. Also, there are no tax considerations in this problem. What is the net present value of the investment (rounded up to the nearest $1,000), assuming the discount rate is 16%? Should you purchase the new machine? Below is a discount rate table that may help with the calculations. Discount Rate No. of Periods 8% 50% 12% 16% 18% 20% 1 2.
