The Darlington Equipment Company purchased a machine 5 years ago at a cost of $95,000. The machine had an expected life of 10 years at the time of purchase, and it is being depreciated by the straight-line method by $9,500 per year. If the machine is not replaced, it can be sold for $10,000 at the end of its useful life.

A new machine can be purchased for $170,000, including installation costs. During its 5-year life, it will reduce cash operating expenses by $60,000 per year. Sales are not expected to change. At the end of its useful life, the machine is estimated to be worthless. MACRS depreciation will be used, and the machine will be depreciated over its 3-year class life rather than its 5-year economic life; so the applicable depreciation rates are 33%, 45%, 15%, and 7%.

The old machine can be sold today for $50,000. The firm's tax rate is 40%. The appropriate WACC is 9%.

  1. If the new machine is purchased, what is the amount of the initial cash flow at Year 0? Round your answer to the nearest dollar. Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign.

  2. What are the incremental net cash flows that will occur at the end of Years 1 through 5? Round your answers to the nearest dollar.

  3. What is the NPV of this project? Round your answer to the nearest cent. Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign.

The following separate scenarios relate to a 5-year lease, pertaining to equipment with a fair value of $25,000. Assume in all scenarios that payments are made at the beginning of the period.

1. Lease payments include a fixed payment of $5,000 per year.

2. Lease payments include a fixed payment of $5,000 per year, plus $250 for insurance and $300 for a maintenance contract.

3. Lease payments will be $5,000 in the first year and will increase by 3% (calculated on the previous year's payment) for each of the following 4 years.

4. Lease payments will be $5,000 in the first year and will increase each of the following years by the increase in the CPI from the preceding year. The current CPI is 120 and is expected to increase to 122 at the end of the next year.

5. Lease payments will be $5,000 in the first year and will increase each of the following years by (a) the increase in the CPI from the preceding year, or (b) 3%, whichever is greater. The current CPI is 120 and is expected to increase to 122 at the end of the next year.

6. Lease payments include a fixed payment of $5,000 per year. In addition, the lessee has guaranteed the residual value of the equipment for $1,000 at the end of the lease.

Required

For each of the six separate scenarios outlined above, and considering only the fair value lease criterion, determine how the lessee would classify the lease, assuming a discount rate of 7%.

Down Under Boomerang, Inc., is considering a new 3-year expansion project that requires an initial fixed asset investment of $2.29 million. The fixed asset will be depreciated straight-line to zero over its 3-year tax life. The project is estimated to generate $1,715,000 in annual sales, with costs of $625,000. The project requires an initial investment in net working capital of $260,000, and the fixed asset will have a market value of $195,000 at the end of the project.

a. If the tax rate is 21 percent, what is the project’s Year 0 net cash flow? Year 1? Year 2? Year 3? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answers in dollars, not millions of dollars, e.g., 1,234,567. A negative answer should be indicated by a minus sign.)
b.

If the required return is 9 percent, what is the project's NPV? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

I have gotten a Year 0 Cash Flow of -2,550,000
Year 1 CF of 937,064.23
Year 2 CF of 859,691.95
Year 3 CF of 1,108,430.80
And an NPV 355,186.94

My assignment says that the Year 0 CF and the NPV are correct, but all of the other Cash Flows are incorrect. But the sum (NPV) is correct, so I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.
