The Hopkins Company has estimated that a proposed project's 10-year annual net cash benefit, received each year end. will be $2,500 with an additional terminal benefit of $5,000 at the end of the 10th year. Assuming that these cash inflows satisfy exactly Hopkins' required rate of return of 8%, calculate the initial cash outlay
If the 8% return exactly equals the present value of the future flows ., NPV is zero), then simply determine the present value of the future inflows. Thus, Hopkins Company's initial cash outlay is $19,090 [($2,500)(PVIFA at 8% for 10 periods) + ($5J00)(PVlF at 8% for 10 periods ($2,500)(6.710) + ($5,000)(.463)].
The U.S. Postal Service is looking for a new machine to help sort the mail. Two companies have submitted bids to Cliff Kraven, the postal inspector responsible for choosing a machine. A cash flow analysis of the two machines indicates the following:
It the cost of capital for the Postal Service is 8%. which of the two mail sorters should Cliff choose and why?
The NPV of both machines must be calculated and compared to determine which will yield a better return of cash flows. Machine A is calculated as one lump sum payable in 4 years minus the initial investment cost.
The NPV of Machine B is calculated as the present value of an ordinary annuity of
$13,000 for 4 years, minus the initial investment cost.
By comparing the NPV of both machines, Cliff would choose Machine A because NPV of A > NPV of B by $1,044.

The chief financial officer of Pauley, Inc has requested an evaluation of a proposed acquisition of a new machine at a purchase price of $60.000 and with installation costs of $10,000. A $3,000 increase in working capital will be required. The machine will have a useful life of four years. after which it can be sold for $10,000. The estimated annual incremental operating revenues and cash operating expenses are $150,000 and $100,000, respectively, for each of the four years. Pauley's effective income tax rate is 40%, and the cost of capital is 12%. Pauley uses straight-line depreciation for both financial reporting and income tax purposes. Pauley's estimated after-tax cash flow in the fourth year, at which time the equipment will be sold, will be?
The estimated incremental after-tax operating cash flows for each year of a capital project consist of two components: the after-tax cash inflows from operations and the depreciation tax shield arising from the purchase of new equipment. The first of these for Pauley can be calculated as follows:
Pauley's total after-tax operating cash inflow for each year of the project's life is thus $36,000 ($30,000 + $6,000). Ii the final year of the project, two additional cash flows must be taken into account, the after-tax proceeds from the disposal of the equipment purchased for the project, and the recovery of working capital devoted to the project. These two additional cash flows can be calculated as follows:
Pauley's total after-tax cash inflow for the final year of the project's life is thus $49,000
($36,000 + $13,000).
Which of the following is irrelevant in projecting the cash flows of the final year of a capital project?
Once an old piece of equipment has been disposed of, its histoncal cost no longer has an impact on a firms cash flows.
