Homework Answers
Answer #1
a. Initial Investment after Replacement
Book Value of Old Machine at the end of Year 3 = Cost * (1 - 0.20 - 0.32 - 0.19)
Book Value of Old Machine at the end of Year 3 = 10000 * (1 - 0.20 - 0.32 - 0.19)
Book Value of Old Machine at the end of Year 3 = $2900
After Tax Value of Old Machine = Sale Value - (Sale Value - Book Value) * Tax Rate
After Tax Value of Old Machine = 7000 - (7000 - 2900) * 0.40
After Tax Value of Old Machine = 7000 - $1640
After Tax Value of Old Machine = $5360
Initial Investment after Replacement = Cost of New Machine + Installation cost - After Tax Value of Old Machine
Initial Investment after Replacement = 24000 + 2000 - 5360
Initial Investment after Replacement = $20640
b. Computation of NPV
As the NPV is negative, Replacement is not recommended.
