Whirled Peas, a trendy children’s clothing retailer, is considering the purchase of an embroidery machine to allow them to offer monogramming services. The machine would require a $34,000 investment and have a useful life of 5 years and is projected to have a salvage value of $9,000. Cash inflows are expected to be:
year 1-4000
year 2-9000
year 3-12000
year 4-23000
year 5-18000
The required rate of return is 14%. Calculate the present value of the cash inflows.
A :
$66,000
B :
$56,760
C :
$41,502
D :
$45,317
Answer:
Correct Option is c: $41502
Explanation:
Computation of Present Value of Cash inflow:
Present value = Annual inflow x Present Value Interest Factor(r,n)
Year 1 = $4000 x Present value interest factor (14%,1) = $4000 x 0.8772 = $3508.8
Year 2 = $9000 x Present value interest factor (14%,2) = $9000 x 0.7695 = $6925.5
Year 3 = $12000 x Present value interest factor (14%,3) = $12000 x 0.6750= $8100
Year 4 = $23000 x Present value interest factor (14%,4) = $23000 x 0.5921= $13618.3
Year 5 = $18000 x Present value interest factor (14%,5) = $18000 x 0.5194= $9349.2
Total Present Value = $3508.8 + $6925.5 + $8100 + $13618.3 + $9349.2 = $41501.8 i.e. $41502
