Bendog’s Franks is looking at a new sausage system with an installed cost of $305,000. This cost will be
depreciated straight-line to zero over the project’s five-year life, at the end of which the sausage system
can be scrapped for $60,000. The sausage system will save the firm $90,000 per year in pretax operating
costs, and the system requires an initial investment in net working capital of $27,000. If the tax rate is 34
percent and the discount rate is 10 percent, what is the NPV of this project?

You are evaluating two different silicon wafer milling machines. The Techron I costs $180,000, has a three-
year life, and has pretax operating costs of $30,000 per year. The Techron II costs $280,000, has a five-
year life, and has pretax operating costs of $17,000 per year. For both milling machines, use straight-line
depreciation to zero over the project’s life and assume a salvage value of $25,000. If your tax rate is 35
percent and your discount rate is 18 percent, compute the EAC for both machines. Which do you prefer?

Why?

Pags Industrial Systems Company (PISC) is trying to decide between two different conveyor belt systems.
System A costs $450,000, has a three-year life, and requires $140,000 in pretax annual operating costs.
System B costs $500,000, has a five-year life, and requires $75,000 in pretax annual operating costs. Both
systems are to be depreciated straight-line to zero over their lives and will have zero salvage value.
Whichever project is chosen, it will not be replaced when it wears out. If the tax rate is 34 percent and the

discount rate is 20 percent, which project should the firm choose?

Problem 10-25 Objective

Calculate the IRR and NPV of a project by using the IRR and NPV Excel functions.

Course Number:

Mariah-in-You (PIY), Inc. projects unit sales for a new 7-octave voice emulation implant as follows:

Year Unit Sales

1 100,000
2 105,000

3 110,000

4 114,000

5 75,000

Production of implants will require $600,000 in net working capital to start and additional net working capital
investments each year equal to 40 percent of the projected sales increase for the following year.
(Because sales are expected to fall in Year 5, there is no NWC cash flow occurring for Year 4.) Total fixed
costs are $200,000 per year, variable production costs are $200 per unit, and the units are priced at $325
each. The equipment needed to begin production has an installed cost of $13,250,000. Because the implants
are intended for professional singers, this equipment is considered industrial machinery and thus qualifies as
seven-year MACRS property. In five years, this equipment can be sold for about 30 percent of its acquisition
cost. PIY is in the 35 percent marginal tax bracket and has a required return on all its projects of 30 percent.
Based on these preliminary project estimates, what is the NPV of the project? What is the IRR?
