Question

Seong Seng Coachbuilders is considering purchasing a new machine to replace an old one.

 

Cost of new machine:

Purchase price                                                $85,000

Installation & Commissioning                          $10,000

 

The proposed new machine is to be depreciated using the straight line method over its four-year useful life with an estimated salvage value of $15,000.

 

The proposed new machine is expected to increase sales and operating expenses and the amount are expected to be constant over the project’s 4 year life.

Sales                           $65,000

Operating expenses    $26,000

 

Seong Seng operating working capital is also expected to increase as follows:

Inventory                     $12,000

Accounts receivable      $8,000

Accruals                        $3,000

Accounts payable          $6,000

 

The old, existing machine is also being depreciated using the straight line method over its 6 years useful life towards zero salvage. It was purchased 2 years ago with a total depreciable value of $60,000.  It can be sold today for $38,000.

 

Seong Seng tax bracket is 40% and its management uses 20% required rate of return to evaluate this replacement project. Using the NPV and IRR criteria, is the project viable?
