a ) ans:
We have been provided with the information that,
return on the investment of funds is 6%
produce incremental cash inflows of approximately $17,500 per year
The machine is expected to have a three-year useful life
So n =3 year
Salvage value =0 year
Now with all these information we will calculate the present value of machine and maximum amount of cash the dean should be willing to pay for a copy machine. as follows
Year | Cash flow | PV factor @6% |
Pv of cash flow |
1 | 17,500 | 0.9434 | 16,509.50 |
2 | 17,500 | 0.8900 | 15,575 |
3 | 17,500 | 0.8396 | 14,693 |
2.6730 | 46777.50 |
From the above calculation we could see that NPV of the project is $ 46777.50. So maximum price DEAN should pay is $ 46777.50
b) Ans ;
Same as of A no change Maximum amount of PVA = 46777.50
annual investment cash flow =$17,500
Life of Machine = 3 year
Rate of Return @ 6 %
PVA factor @ 6% for 3rd year = 2.6730 *17500 = 46777.50

Wendell's Donut Shoppe is investigating the purchase of a new $18,600 donut-making machine. The new machine would permit the company to reduce the amount of part-time help needed, at a cost savings of $3,800 per year. In addition, the new machine would allow the company to produce one new style of donut, resulting in the sale of 1,000 dozen more donuts each year. The company realizes a contribution margin of $1.20 per dozen donuts sold. The new machine would have...
