Question

Problem 11-06 New-Project Analysis The Campbell Company is considering adding a robotic paint sprayer to its production line. The sprayer's base price is $820,000, and it would cost another $23,000 to install it. The machine falls into the MACRS 3-year class (the applicable MACRS depreciation rates are 33.33%, 44.45%, 14.81%, and 7.41%), and it would be sold after 3 years for $635,000. The machine would require an increase in net working capital (inventory) of $9,500. The sprayer would not change revenues, but it is expected to save the firm $479,000 per year in before-tax operating costs, mainly labor. Campbell's marginal tax rate is 40%. What is the Year 0 net cash flow? $ What are the net operating cash flows in Years 1, 2, and 3? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to the nearest dollar. Year 1 $ Year 2 $ Year 3 $ What is the additional Year 3 cash flow (i.e, the after-tax salvage and the return of working capital)? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest dollar. $ If the project's cost of capital is 14 %, what is the NPV of the project? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest dollar. $ Should the machine be purchased?
