Gio's company purchased a new machine on January 1 of this year for $90,000, with an estimated useful life of 5 years and a salvage value of $10,000. The machine will be depreciated using the straight-line method. The machine is expected to produce cash flow from operations, net of income taxes, of $36,000 a year in each of the next 5 years. The new machine’s salvage value is $20,000 in years 1 and 2, and $15,000 in years 3 and 4. What will be the bailout period for the new machine?
Bailout payback | |||
At the end of year | Cash flow | Salvage value | Cummulative pay back |
1 | 36000 | 20000 | 56000 |
2 | 72000 | 20000 | 92000 |
3 | 108000 | 15000 | 123000 |
4 | 144000 | 15000 | 159000 |
5 | 180000 | 10000 | 190000 |
Bailout period is the period in which initial investment is recovered (Incluidng Salvage values) Bailout period = Year before full recovery + (Uncovered cost at the start of the year / cash flow during the year)
1 + 54000/56000
= 1 + 0.964
= 1.964 years
