Solution: At the beginning, Kinky will need $110,000 ($100,000 (cost) + $10,000 (working capital)). Investment = $110,000. Now, at the end of a 5 years period the machine will be depreciated to $20,000 Deprecation = [$100,000 (cost) - $20,000 (cost at the end)] / 5 (number of years) Depreciation = $16,000 annually. (because it is a straight line) Now, let us calculate the cash flow: CF = $20,000 (savings due labor costs) x (1-0.35 (35%)) + ($16,000 (depreciation) x 0.35 (tax rate)) = $18,600 After 5 years Kinky will sell the machine for $30,000 but the real value is $20,000 so $10,000 is taxable. Net of Tax proceeds: Net of Tax Proceed: $30,000 - (0.35 (35%) x $10,000) = $26,500 Since working capital is released another $10,000 in cash. Then, non-operating cash flow in year 5 totals $36,500. The NPV is PV of the cash flows - Initial Investment (I) : NPV = PV of Cash Flows - Ithen: NPV = [$18,600 * annuity factor(8%, 5 Years)] + [$36,500/(1.08)^5] - I = $99,116.63 - $110,000 = -$10,883.37 A negative factor only tells that Kinky should NOT buy the copier.
