DataPoint Engineering is considering the purchase of a new piece of equipment for $310,000. It has an eight-year midpoint of its asset depreciation range (ADR). It will require an additional initial investment of $130,000 in nondepreciable working capital. $52,000 of this investment will be recovered after the sixth year and will provide additional cash flow for that year. Income before depreciation and taxes for the next six are shown in the following table. Use Table 12–11, Table 12–12. Use Appendix B for an approximate answer but calculate your final answer using the formula and financial calculator methods.
Year Amount
1 $ 206,000
2 174,000
3 144,000
4 129,000
5 102,000
6 92,000
The tax rate is 25 percent. The cost of capital must be computed based on the following:
Cost
(aftertax) Weights
Debt Kd 8.30 %
40 %
Preferred stock Kp 12.40
10
Common equity (retained earnings) Ke

a. Determine the annual depreciation schedule. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your depreciation base and annual depreciation answers to the nearest whole dollar. Round your percentage depreciation answers to 3 decimal places.)

b. Determine the annual cash flow for each year. Be sure to
include the recovered working capital in Year 6. (Do not round
intermediate calculations and round your answers to 2 decimal
places.)

c. Determine the weighted average cost of capital. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.)
Weighted average cost to capital = ?? %
d-1. Determine the net present value. (Use the WACC from part c
rounded to 2 decimal places as a percent as the cost of capital
(e.g., 12.34%). Do not round any other intermediate calculations.
Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Net Present Value = ??
d-2. Should DataPoint purchase the new equipment?
Yes
No

(b.) Determination of Annual Cash Flow for each year :
Annual Cash Flow = [Income before depreciation and taxes * (1 - Tax rate)] + Tax shield on Depreciation
Annual Cash Flow for year 1 = [206000 * (1 - 0.25)] + [62000 * 0.25]
= 154500 + 15500
= 170,000
Annual Cash Flow for year 2 = [174000 * (1 - 0.25)] + [99200 * 0.25]
= 130500 + 24800
= 155300
Annual Cash Flow for year 3 = [144000 * (1 - 0.25)] + [59520 * 0.25]
= 108000 + 14880
= 122880
Annual Cash Flow for year 4 = [129000 * (1 - 0.25)] + [35650 * 0.25]
= 96750 + 8912.5
= 105662.5
Annual Cash Flow for year 5 = [102000 * (1 - 0.25)] + [35650 * 0.25]
= 76500 + 8912.5
= 85412.5
Annual Cash Flow for year 6 = [92000 * (1 - 0.25)] + [17980 * 0.25] + Recovery of Working Capital
= 69000 + 4495 + 52000
= 125495
(c.) Calculation of Weighted Average cost of Capital
WACC = (Cost of After tax Debt * Weight of Debt) + (Cost of Preferred Stock * Weight of Preferred Stock) + ( Cost of Equity * Weight of Equity)
= (8.3% * 0.50) + (12.40% * 0.10) + (17% * 0.50)
= 3.32% + 1.24% + 8.5%
= 13.06%
(d.1) Calculation of Net Present Value
Net Present Value = Present value of cash Inflow - Present value of Cash outflow
Present value of Cash Outflow = Initial Investment + Investment in Non Depreciable Working Capital
= 310000 + 130000
= 440,000
Below is the table showing Net present Value :
Year | Cash Inflow | Present Value Factor @13.06% | Present value of cash inflow |
1 | 170000 | 0.884486114 | 150362.6393 |
2 | 155300 | 0.782315685 | 121493.6259 |
3 | 122880 | 0.69194736 | 85026.49158 |

5 | 85412.5 | 0.541321273 | 46235.60322 |
6 | 125495 | 0.478791149 | 60085.89523 |
Total Present value of cash inflow | 527871.5893 | ||
Less : Cash outflow | 440000 | ||
Net Present Value | 87871.59 |
(d-2) Yes since NPV is positive.
