Bravo Baking Co is considering replacing an older freezer with a larger unit to freeze some of its bread.
The new unit has a larger capacity and Bravo estimates it can produce and sell an more bread each year. From these additional sales
the after tax cash flow is expected to be $4,000. In addition to more sales, the new freezer will save $1,200 in electricity each year.
However, the new freezer will cost an additional $2,000 each year for maintenance. The cost of the new unit is $25,000 and it is
expected to last 10 years. The salvage value at the end of its life is $6,000. The old unit is fully depreciated and can be disposed at cost.
Determine the Net Present Value of purchasing the new freezer using a required rate of return of 14%. Should Bravo purchase the freezer?
Note: Use PV Tables found in the PV tabs in the workbook. Be sure to enter 4 decial places. Also, be sure to show costs as negative values.
