Johnny’s Lunches is considering purchasing a new, energy-efficient grill. The grill will cost $48,000 and will be depreciated straight-line over 3 years. It will be sold for scrap metal after 5 years for $12,000. The grill will have no effect on revenues but will save Johnny’s $24,000 in energy expenses. The tax rate is 30%.
Required:
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 10%, calculate
the net present value (NPV) of the cash flow stream. Should the
grill be purchased?
