Question

Rooney, Inc. is considering the purchase of a new machine costing $700,000. The machine's useful life is expected to be 8 years with no salvage value. The straight-line depreciation method will be used. The net increase in annual after tax cash flow is expected to be $156,000. Rooney estimates its cost of capital to be 12%. (The present value of a $1 annuity for 8 years at 12% is 4.968, and the present value of $1 to be received in 8 years is 0.404.) The net present value of the investment in the machine under consideration is:

Answer 1

NPV = $74,951.80

Step-by-step explanation:

The net present value is the present value of after tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.

NPV can be calculated using a financial calculator:

Cash flow in year 0 = $700,000

Cash flow each year from 1 year 8 = $156,000

I = 12%

NPV = $74,951.80

To find the NPV using a financial calacutor:

1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

2. After inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

3. Press compute

I hope my answer helps you
