KFA is considering investing in a new drone technology costing $12 million. It has a 5 year life (no salvage value) and will save KFA $3.5 million/year in pre-tax operating costs. It will need an up-front working capital investment of $300,000. KFA's cost of capital is 8.0% and its tax rate is 21.0%. Their current technology has a $5 million book value but a $1 million salvage value. What are the NPV and IRR of the decision to replace the old technology?
