X Company is planning to stop the production and sale of Product Q, which lost $8,000 last year. If Product Q is dropped, two things will happen in each of the next three years: 1) last year's loss will be avoided, and 2) sales of Product R will be increased, contributing $10,000 to annual profits. In addition, if Product Q is dropped, the company will be able to sell some equipment immediately for $14,000. Assuming a discount rate of 4%, what is the net present value of stopping the production and sale of Product Q?
particulars | Cash flows (a) | PVIF @4% (b) | present value(a)*(b) |
loss saving on sale of product Q | $ 8,000.00 | 2.775 | $ 22,200.00 |
increase in profit -product R | $ 10,000.00 | 2.775 | $ 27,750.00 |
sale of equipment | $ 14,000.00 | 1 | $ 14,000.00 |
Present value of stopping the product & sale of product Q | $ 63,950.00 |
