abc corp. is considering a new machine that costs $250,000 and would reduce pretax manufacturing costs by $130,000 annually. abc would use the 3-year macrs method to depreciate the machine, and management thinks the machine would have a value of $25,000 at the end of its 4-year operating life. the applicable depreciation rates are 33%, 45%, 15%, and 7%. net operating working capital would increase by $35,000 initially, but it would be recovered at the end of the project's 4-year life. abc's marginal tax rate is 35%, and a 13% wacc is appropriate for the project.

a. ib. Q.1 ABC corp. is considering a new machine that costs $250,000 and would reduce pretax manufacturing costs by $130,000 annually. ABC would use the 3-year MACRS method to depreciate the machine, and management thinks the machine would have a value of $25,000 at the end of its 4-year operating life. The applicable depreciation rates are 33%, 45%, 15%, and 7%. Net operating working capital would increase by $35,000 initially, but it would be recovered at the end of the project's 4-year life. ABC's marginal tax rate is 35%, and a 13% WACC is appropriate for the project. Calculate the project's NPV. Calculate the project's IRR Calculate the project's MIRR. Calculate the project's payback and discounted payback. Round your answer to two decimal places. Suppose the CFO wants you to do a scenario analysis of NPV with different values for the cost savings. She asks you to use the following probabilities and values in the scenario analysis: c. d. ie. Scenario Worst case Base case Best case Probability Cost Savings 0.33 $70,000 0.33 $130,000 0.33 $160,000
