Steadman Company is considering an investment in a new machine for an independent five-year project. The machines cost is $575,000 with no salvage value at the end of five years. Net cash inflows from the project are expected to be $165,000 annually. Steadman would depreciate the machine using the MACRS schedule, and the machine qualifies as a 5-year asset. Steadman uses a discount rate of 8%, and its tax rate is 30%.

Required:

1. Determine the after-tax net income and after-tax cash flows from the investment. Refer to Exhibit 12.4 for the 5-year MACRS deprecation schedule.

2. Determine the NPV of the project.

3. Determine the IRR of the project.

4. Determine the payback period of the project, assuming that cash flows occur evenly in each year.

5. Determine the book (accounting) rate of return using both (a) the initial investment as the denominator and (b) the average book value of the investment as the denominator.
