Laura wants to buy a delivery truck. The truck costs $132,000 , and will allow her to increase her after tax profits by $24,000 per year for the next 10 years. She will borrow 80% of the cost of the truck for 10 years, at an interest rate of 6%. Laura’s unlevered cost of capital is 17% and her tax rate is 34%. The loan includes a $1,000 application fee. What is the NPV of buying the truck on these terms?

Expert Solution

a) Cash outflow at the beginning = Cost of the machine - (loan received - application fee)= 1,32,000-(1,32,000*80% - 1,000) = 27400

b) Cash flow for 10 years = present value of increase in revenue for 10years less loan repayment

=118985- 14347.63*PVAF(10yrs,17%) = 118985-66840 = 52145

c) NPV = b-a = 52145-27400 = $24745

present value of Total revenue = $118985

Working note 2 : Repayment schedule of loan

Given

amount of loan = $1,32,000*80% = 1,05,600

rate of interest = 6%

no. of years = 10 years

Cumulative discount factor = 7.3601

Yearly repayment amount = $1,05,600/7.3601 = 14,347.63

year	EMI	Principal at beginning	Interest @6%	Principal
1	14,347.63	105600	6336	8011.63
