A firm is considering the purchase of a new machine at a price
of $150,000. The machine falls into the three-year MACRS
class. If the new machine is acquired, the firm's investment in net
working capital will immediately increase by $10,000 and then
remain at that level throughout the life of the project. At the end
of 3 years, the new machine can be sold for $16,000. Earnings
before depreciation, interest and taxes (EBDIT) are expected to be
as follows with respect to the new machine: Year 1: EBDIT = $58,000 The firm is subject to a 40 percent tax rate and the firm's discount rate is 9 percent. |
