Tektek Industries wants to determine whether it would be advisable for it to replace an existing, fully depreciated machine with a new one. The new machine will have an after-tax installed cost of $300,000 and will be depreciated under a three-year diminishing value schedule. The old machine can be sold today for $80,000, after taxes. The company is in the 30% tax bracket and requires a minimum return on the replacement decision of 15%. The companys estimates of its revenues and expenses (excluding depreciation) for both the new and the old machine (in $ thousands) over the next four years are given below. NEW MACHINE OLD MACHINE YEAR REVENUE EXPENSES (EXCLUDING DEPRECIATION) REVENUE EXPENSES (EXCLUDING DEPRECIATION) 1 $925 $740 $625 $580 2 990 780 645 595 3 1,000 825 670 610 4 1,100 875 695 630 Tektek also estimates the values of various current accounts that could be impacted by the proposed replacement. They are shown below for both the new and the old machine over the next four years. Currently (at time 0), the companys net investment in these current accounts is assumed to be $110,000 with the new machine and $75,000 with the old machine.

Find the incremental operating cash flows (including any working capital investment) for years 1 to 4 for Tekteks proposed machine-replacement decision. b Calculate the terminal value of Tekteks proposed machine replacement at the end of year 4. c Show the cash flows (initial outlay, operating cash flows and terminal cash flow) for years 1 to 4 for Tekteks proposed machine replacement. d Using the cash flows from part (c), find the NPV and IRR for Tekteks proposed machine replacement. e Based on your findings in part (d), what recommendation would you make to Tektek regarding its proposed machine replacement? Kindly explain step by step solution and also explained how you find the cash flows for every year with depreciation rate how you calculate them?
