Your firm has a weighted average cost of capital (WACC) of 10 percent, a 26 percent tax rate and is considering a machine that has an initial cost of $140,000, but additional modifications must be made at a cost of $30,000. The machine has a 3-year economic life and will save the firm $60,000 per year. It the machine is purchase net operating working capital (NOWC) will increase by $8,000, but may be totally recovered at the project's termination. The machine will be depreciated using the MACR 3-year class life with half-year convention. Thus, there will be a remaining adjusted basis in year 3-when the project is terminated and the machine is sold for $60,000. Terminal Cash Flows must include the taxes on the sale of the machine in year 3. The Initial Cash Flows, Operating Cash Flows and Terminal Cash Flows are given. Determine the NPV for the project (the cash flows are already determined for you) and the IRR for the project.
