Your company is deciding whether to invest in a new machine. The new machine will increase cash flow by $321,000 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 $1,710,000. The cost of the machine will decline by $106,000 per year until it reaches $1,180,000, where it will remain.

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

    NPV = $31,824.16

    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    Cash flow = $321,000

    Initial investmeent = $1,710,000

    Residual value = $0

    Rate of return = 13%

    To calculate the net present value, we need to use the following formula:

    NPV = - Io + ∑[Cf / (1+i) ^n]

    Io = - 1,710,000

    Cf1 = 321,000/1.13 = 284,070.80

    Cf2 = 321,000/1.13^2 = 251,390.09

    Cf3 = 321,000/1.13^3 = 222,469.10

    And so on ...

    Cf10 = 321,000/1.13^10 = 94,562.86

    ∑[Cf / (1+i) ^n] = 1,741,824.16

    NPV = 1,710,000 + 1,741,824.16 = $31,824.16
