The Balas Manufacturing Company is considering buying an overhead pulley system. The new system has a purchase price of $150,000, an estimated useful life and MACRS class life of five years, and an estimated salvage value of $10,000. The system is expected to enable the company to economize on electric power usage, labor, and repair costs, as well as to reduce the number of defective products made. A total annual savings of $95,000 will be realized if the new pulley system is installed. The company is in the 35% marginal tax bracket. The initial investment will be financed with 40% equity and 60% debt. The before-tax debt interest rate, which combines both short-term and long-term financing, is 12% with the loan to be repaid in equal annual installments over the project life. (a) Determine the after-tax cash flows. (b) Evaluate this investment project by using an MARR of 20%. (c) Evaluate this investment project on the basis of the IRR criterion
