Question #2
A firm believes it can generate an additional $400,000 per year in revenues for the next 5 years if it replaces existing equipment that is no longer usable with new equipment that costs $350,000.
Â
Â
The existing equipment is fully depreciated and has a market value of $3,000.
Â
The firm expects to be able to sell the new equipment when it is finished using it (after 5 years) for $5,000.
Â
Variable costs are expected to total 65% of revenue.
Â
The additional sales will require an initial investment in net working capital of $40,000, which is expected to be recovered at the end of the project (after 5 years).
Â
Assume the firm uses straight line depreciation, its marginal tax rate is 30%, and the discount rate for the project is 12%.
Â
a) How much value will this new equipment create for the firm?
Â
b) At what discount rate will this project break even?
