Accounting

Filkins Fabric Company is considering the replacement of its old, fully depreciated knitting machine. Two new models are available: Machine 190-3, which has a cost of $180,000, a 3-year expected life, and after-tax cash flows (labor savings and depreciation) of $94,000 per year; and Machine 360-6, which has a cost of $380,000, a 6-year life, and after-tax cash flows of $108,000 per year. Knitting machine prices are not expected to rise, because inflation will be offset by cheaper components (microprocessors) used in the machines.

1. Assume that Filkins' cost of capital is 16%. Calculate the two projects' NPVs. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to the nearest cent. Machine 190-3 Machine 360-6

2. By how much would the value of the company increase if it accepted the better machine? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest cent.

3. What is the equivalent annual annuity for each machine? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest cent.

Machine 190-3
Machine 360-6
