HipHop Inc. makes and sells trampolines. The company is considering replacing one of its manufacturing machines with a new one. Both the new and the old machine would last another 3 years. Annual sales will remain constant. The old machine was bought 3 years ago for $20,000. When it was installed, the machine had an economic and tax life of 6 years. It is still being linearly depreciated to zero. The machine could be sold for $8,000 today or $2,000 in 3 years. The annual cost of running the machine is $25,000. The new machine costs $45,000 today and could be sold for $9,000 in 3 years, when it will be decommissioned. The machine falls into the 3-year MACRS category, with the following depreciation rates: The annual cost of running the machine is $13,000. The new machine requires additional net working capital of $8,000 that can be recouped at the end of the project. The marginal tax rate is 34% and the appropriate cost of capital for this project is 15%. Part 1 Attempt 1/10 for 10 pts. What would be the incremental cash flow from assets in year 0 (right now) if the firm replaced the machine? Part 2 Attempt 1/10 for 10 pts.
