The trade-in value of an old machine was zero and the NBV was also zero. If instead, the trade-in value of the old machine was $20,000, what would be the impact on the net present value of the proposal to purchase a new machine?
a. |

b. |
It would decrease the net present value of the proposal. |
c. |
It would not affect the net present value of the proposal. |
d. |
Potentially it could increase or decrease the net present value of the new lathe. |
Option A is correct | |||||||||||
a. | It would increase the net present value of the proposal. | ||||||||||
When there is a trade in value of old machine than it decreases the imitial investment cost by its | |||||||||||
traded value thereby increaseing the net present value of new machine. | |||||||||||
So $20000 trade in value would decrease the initial investment by $20000 and increase the NPV of the new machine | |||||||||||
