Company Alex would like to buy a new technological equipment for CZK 16 000 000. Useful life of this equipment is 5 years and expected salvage value is CZK 1 000 000. Company use straight-line method. On the end of 5t? h? year, company will sell this property for CZK 1 500 000. Tax rate is 26 %. Discount rate for evaluation of project effectiveness is 15 %. Expected change of revenues and expenditures during useful life of investment cab be seen in following table:
a) Is it profitable to buy this equipment under such conditions? b) What is the IRR (Internal rate of return) of this investment?

Annual Deprecitation = (Cost - Salvage value) / Number of years
Annual Deprecitation = (16 000 000 - 1 000 000) / 5
Annual Deprecitation = 3,000,000
Operating cash flow = ( Revenue - Expenditure - depreciation) ( 1 - tax) + depreciation
Operating cash flow for year 1 = ( 6500000 - 1100000 - 3000000) ( 1 - .26) + 3000000
Operating cash flow for year 1 = 4776000
Operating cash flow for year 2 = ( 6900000 - 1200000 - 3000000) ( 1 - .26) + 3000000
Operating cash flow for year 2 = 5052000
Operating cash flow for year 3 = ( 7800000 - 1500000 - 3000000) ( 1 - .26) + 3000000
Operating cash flow for year 3 = 5508000
Operating cash flow for year 4 = ( 7800000 - 1500000 - 3000000) ( 1 - .26) + 3000000
Operating cash flow for year 4 = 5508000
Operating cash flow for year 5 = ( 5600000 - 1700000 - 3000000) ( 1 - .26) + 3000000
Operating cash flow for year 5 = 3666000
Non-operating cash flow at year 5 = 1500000 - 0.26( 1500000 - 0)
Non-operating cash flow at year 5 = 1,110,000.
Total cash flow at year 5 = 3666000 + 1110000
Total cash flow at year 5 = 4776000
To check profiltabilty we calculate NPV:
NPV = -16 000 000 + 4776000 / ( 1 + 0.15) + 5052000 / ( 1 + 0.15)2 + 5508000 / ( 1 + 0.15)3 + 5508000 / ( 1 + 0.15)4 + 4776000 / ( 1 + 0.15)5
NPV = 1,118,413.658
Since it has a positive NPV, it is profitable to buy the equipment.
To calculate IRR, please use a financial calculator:
Keys to use in the financial calculator: CF0 = -16000000, CF1 = 4776000, CF2 = 5052000, CF3 = 5508000, CF4 = 5508000, CF5 = 4776000 IRR CPT
When you click CPT, you get IRR as 17.88%
