Wilson Corp. is considering the purchase of a new piece of equipment. The cost savings from the equipment would result in an annual increase in net income after tax of $50,000. The equipment will have an initial cost of $626,000 and have an 8 year life. The salvage value of the equipment is estimated to be $114,000. If the hurdle rate is 11%, what is the approximate net present value?
can you please explain everything step by step as to how you get the answer including the present value factor.
Annual Depreciation =[cost-salvage value ]/useful life
=[626000-114000]/8
= 512000/8
= 64000
Annual cash flow =Net income +depreciation
= 50000+64000
= 114000
Present value of cash flow =[PVA11%,8*Annual cash flow ]+[PVF11%,8*Salvage value]
=[5.14312*114000]+[.43393*114000]
= 586315.68+ 49468.02
= $ 635783.70
NPV =Present value of cash flow -Initial cost
= 635783.70-626000
= 9783.70
**Find present value factor using the formula 1/(1+i)^n or using financial calculator where i=11%,n=8 ,FV=1
**Find present value annuity factor using the formula [1/(1+i)^1+1/(1+i)^2+ 1/(1+i)^3+........1/(1+i)8] or using financial calculator where i = 11% n= 8 ,PMT = 1
