Your Company purchased a machine with an estimated useful life of 8 years. The machine will generate cash inflows of $96,000 each year. The salvage value at the end of the project is $80,000. Your Company's discount rate is 6%. The net present value of the investment is ($7,500). What is the purchase price of the machine?
Purchase price of machine = ?
Annual cash inflow = $96,000
Useful life = 8 year
salvage value = $80,000
Net present value = $7,500
Present value of cash inflow = Annual cash inflow x Present value annuity factor (i%, n) + salvage value x Present value factor (i%, n)
= 96,000 x Present value annuity factor (6%, 8) + 80,000 x Present value factor (6%, 8)
= 96,000 x 6.20979 + 80,000 x 0.62741
= 596,140 + 50,192
= $646,332
Net present value = Present value of cash inflow - Purchase price of machine
7,500 = 646,332 - Purchase price of machine
Purchase price of machine = 646,332 - 7,500
= $638,832
purchase price of the machine = $638,832
