Problem $6-30$ Calculating Project NPV

Calligraphy Pens is deciding when to replace its old machine. The machine's current

salvage value is $$2,750,000.$ Its current book value is $$1,650,000.$ If not sold, the old

machine will require maintenance costs of $$680,000$ at the end of the year for the next

five years. Depreciation on the old machine is $$330,000$ per year. At the end of five

years, it will have a salvage value of $$125,000$ and a book value of $$0.$ A replacement

machine costs $$4,350,000$ now and requires maintenance costs of $$350,000$ at the end

of each year during its economic life of five years. At the end of the five years, the new

machine will have a salvage value of $$715,000.$ It will be fully depreciated by the straight$-$

line method. In five years, a replacement machine will cost $$3,350,000.$ The company

will need to purchase this machine regardless of what choice it makes today. The

corporate tax rate is $24$ percent and the appropriate discount rate is $8$ percent. The

company is assumed to earn sufficient revenues to generate tax shields from

depreciation. Calculate the NPV for the new and old machines. $($Do not round
