Question

"A firm is considering purchasing a new milling machine and has collected the following information for its income statement and cash flow statement. However, this income statement was calculated as if there is no inflation! All dollars are expressed in constant (year-0) dollars. Recalculate the income and cash flow statement by assuming there is a general (average) inflation of 3.9% applied to revenue, O&M, and salvage value.
- The firm will pay back the loan in 2 years, and the annual loan payment is $16,416.
- The tax rate is 39%.
- The revenue for year 1 is $52,000 and $43,000 for year 2.
- O&M for year 1 is $7,000 and $09,000 for year 2.
- The interest paid on the debt is $1916 for year 1 and $988 for year 2.
- The taxable income is $32,652 for year 1 and $24,073 for year 2.
- The income taxes are $12,734 for year 1 and $9,388 for year 2.
- The milling machine costs $73,000.
- The salvage value at the end of year 2 is $44,000.
Calculate the IRR of the cash flow based on actual dollars. Express your answer as a percentage between 0 and 100.
You should calculate the depreciation based on the information given in the problem, but do not refer to the MACRS table. You will also need to calculate the amount that is borrowed and that goes to the principal on the debt in years 1 and 2."
