XYZ Company is considering the purchase of a new machine. The machine will cost $200,000 and is expected to last 10 years. However, the machine will need maintenance costing $25,000 at the end of year three and at the end of year six. In addition, purchasing this machine would require an immediate investment of $35,000 in working capital which would be released for investment elsewhere at the end of the 10 years.
The machine is expected to have a $15,000 salvage value at the end of 10 years. The machine will be used to generate net cash inflows of $46,000 per year in each of the 10 years. XYZ Company has a cost of capital of 8% and an income tax rate of 40%. For tax purposes, the machine would be classified in the MACRS 5-year class life and will be depreciated using the optional straight-line method.
