Existing Machine New Machine
Purchase cost (new) $ 15,000 $ 22,000
Remaining book value $ 6,000
Overhaul needed now $ 5,000
Annual cash operating costs $ 11,000 $ 7,000
Salvage value (now) $ 2,000
Salvage value (eight years from now) $ 1,000 $ 6,000
Click here to view Exhibit 7B-1 and Exhibit 7B-2, to determine the appropriate discount factor(s) using the tables provided.
If the company overhauls its existing machine, it will be usable for eight more years. If it buys the new machine, it will be used for eight years. Assuming a discount rate of 19%, what is the net present value of the cash flows associated with replacing the existing machine with a new machine?
