A computerized machining center has been proposed for a tool-manufacturing company. The new system costs $250,000 and the company expects to borrow $100,000 at interest rate of 10% and paying for the remaining from its own funds. The loan of $100,000 is to be repaid in equal annual installments at 10% interest rate over eight years. Once the new system is installed, it will generate annual revenues of $125,000 and will require $23,500 in annual labor, $8,500 in annual material expenses, $2500 annual maintenance and another $9,000 in annual overhead (power and utility) expenses.

If the company’s MARR is 15% find the following: (1) The year-by-year after-tax net cash flow for the project at a 32% marginal tax rate; (2) The after-tax Net Present worth (NPW) of the project and (3) The internal rate of return
