Answer:
1. Compute straight-line depreciation for each year of this new machine’s life.
- depreciation per year $187,000
2. Determine expected net income and net cash flow for each year of this machine’s life.
- net income per year $272,300
- net cash flow for years 1 - 4 = $459,300
- net cash flow year 5 = $511,300
3. Compute this machine’s payback period, assuming that cash flows occur evenly throughout each year.
- 1.74 years
4. Compute this machine’s accounting rate of return, assuming that income is earned evenly throughout each year.
- 34%
5. Compute the net present value for this machine using a discount rate of 3% and assuming that cash flows occur at each year-end.
- $1,348,316
Explanation:
machine's cost $800,000
useful life 4 years, with $52,000 salvage value
depreciation per year = ($800,000 - $52,000) / 4 years = $187,000
net income = $2,640,000 - $512,000 - $704,000 - $187,000 - $656,000 - $192,000 = $389,000 x 0.7 = $272,300
net cash flow = $272,300 + $187,000 = $459,300
payback period = $800,000 / $459,300 = 1.74 years
accounting rate of return = $272,300 / $800,000 = 34%
NPV = -$800,000 + ($459,300 x 3.7171 annuity factor) + ($511,300/1.03⁵) = -$800,000 + $1,707,264 + $441,052 = $1,348,316
