= tion 3 of 20 This question: 1 point(s) possible O (Calculating project cash flows and NPV) Garcia's Truckin', Inc is considering the purchase of a new production machine for $190,000. The purchase of this machine will result in an increase in earnings before interest and taxes of $60,000 per year. To operate this machine properly, workers would have to go through a brief training session that would cost $4,750 after tax. In addition, it would cost $3,500 after tax to install this machine correctly. Also, because this machine is extremely efficient, its purchase would necessitate an increase in inventory of $23,000. This machine has an expected life of 10 years, after which it will have no salvage value. Finally, to purchase the new machine, it appears that the firm would have to borrow $60,000 at 8 percent interest from its local bank, resulting in additional interest payments of $4,800 per year. Assume simplified straight-line depreciation, that this machine is being depreciated down to zero, a 30 percent tax rate, and a required rate of return of 13 percent. EN a. The initial cash outlay associated with this project is $ (Round to the nearest dollar) b. The annual after-tax cash flows associated with this project for years 1 through 9 are $ (Round to the nearest dollar) c. The terminal cash flow in year 10 (the annual after-tax cash flow in year 10 plus any additional cash flow associated with termination of the project) is $ (Round to the nearest dollar.) d. Given the information, the machine (Select the best choice below) O A. should be purchased because the NPV is $121,003, making it a worthwhile investment for the This question: 1 point(s) possible O (Calculating project cash flows and NPV) Marlin Manufacturing is considering whether to add new capacity to its production line with the addition of a $1,000,000 assembly center. The purchase would result in an increase in earnings before interest and taxes of $400,000 per year. It would cost $50,000 after taxes to install the needed equipment, in addition, to operate this machine properly, workers would have to go through a brief training session that would cost $10,000 after taxes. Also, because this machine is extremely efficient, its purchase would necessitate an increase in inventory of $150,000. This machine has an expected life of 10 years, after which time it would have no salvage value. Assume the use of the simplified straight-line method to depreciate this machine down to zero, a 34 percent marginal tax rate, and a required rate of return of 12 percent a.
