Our company is deciding whether to invest in a new machine. The new machine will increase cash flow by $324,000 per year. You believe the technology used in the machine has a 10-year life; in other words, no matter when you purchase the machine, it will be obsolete 10 years from today. The machine is currently priced at $1,740,000. The cost of the machine will decline by $110,000 per year until it reaches $1,190,000, where it will remain.

a. If your required return is 13 percent, calculate the NPV today?

b. If your required return is 13 percent, calculate the NPV if you wait to purchase the machine until the indicated year. (A negative answer should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to 2 decimal places, e. g., 32.16.)

    Initial Investment = - 1740000

    Year 1 324,000/1.13 = 286725

    Year 2 324,000/1.13^2 = 253740

    Year 3 324,000/1.13^3 = 224548

    Year 4 324,000/1.13^4=198715

    Year 5 324,000/1.13^5 = 175854

    Year 6 324,000/1.13^6 = 155623

    Year 7 324,000/1.13^7=137720

    Year 8 324,000/1.13^8 = 121876

    Year 9 324,000/1.13^9 = 107855

    Year 10 (324,000+1,190,000) / 1.13^10 = 446007

    =2,108,663-1,740,000 = 368663
