Johnny's Lunches is considering purchasing a new energy efficient grill. the grill will cost $38,000 and will be depreciated straight-line ober 3 years. It will be sold for scrap metal after 5 years for $9,500. The grill will have no effect on revenues but will save Johnny's $19,000 in energy expenses. The tax rate is 30%.
a. What are the operating cash flows in each year?
b. What are the total cash flows in each year?
c. Assuming the discount rate is 12%, calculate the net present value (NPV) of the cash flow stream. Should the grill be purchased?
a)
(OCF = operating cash flow)
b)
after tax salvage value = 9500*(1 - tax rate)
= 9500*(1 - 0.3)
= 6650
c)
NPV = present value of future cash flows - initial cash outflow
= 60483.87 - 38000
= $22843.87
since NPV is positive grill can be purchased
