Answer 3.1
Initial Cost = $50000
Additional Profit before Depreciation= $19000 per year
Depreciation per year= Purchase value/ useful life = 50000//4 = $12500
Additional Profit after Depreciation = Profit- Depreciation = 19000-12500 = 6500
Additional Tax on profit = 40% * 6500 = $2600
Net Profit After Tax= 6500-2600= $3900
Additional Cashflow every year = Net Profit after Tax + Depreciation= 3900+12500 = $16400
PW of the additional cashflow = P*(1-(1+r)^-n)/r where P=$16400, n=4 years, r= 10%
PW = 16400 *(1-(1+10%)^-4)/10%
= 16400 *(1-(1+0.1)^-4)/0.1
= 16400 *(1-(1.1)^-4)/0.1
= 16400 *(1-0.6830)/0.1
= 16400 *0.3170/0.1
=$51985.79
PW of Machine Tools = PW of additional cashflow- Initial cost = 51985.79-50000 = $1985.79
Since PW is positive hence machine tools should be purchased
Answer 3.2
If inflation is 3%, New r = 10%+3% = 13%
Hence, PW of the additional cashflow = P*(1-(1+r)^-n)/r where P=$16400, n=4 years, r= 13%
PW = 16400 *(1-(1+13%)^-4)/13%
= 16400 *(1-(1+0.13)^-4)/0.13
= 16400 *(1-(1.13)^-4)/0.13
= 16400 *(1-0.6133)/0.13
= 16400 *0.3867/0.1
=$48781.33
PW of Machine Tools = PW of additional cashflow- Initial cost = 48781.33-50000 = -$1218.67
Since PW is negative hence machine tools should not be purchased
