H G K F E D A B 3 7 8 Estimating depreciation of an asset, calculating cash flows, and estimating NPV. Problem: Dilz Farm is considering investing in an automated egg-sorting system so increase production for international (web-based) sales of Diltz Farms' products. The new system will cost $3,000 including installation. It will be fully deprecated in 5yrs. (straight-line) to zero and generate $150 after-tax pain at the end of the projected period (yet). The initial working captial will be $300 and will be $500 in your one and increase each year thereafter by 5 percent. Revenues generated from the egg-sorte e expected to be 5900 in yok one, and increase by five percent each yeur. Expenses are ten percent of revenues. Diltz Farmes opportunity cost of capital is 8.5%. Using the discounted cash-flow analysis, should Die 9 Farms invest in the machinery? What is the NPV of the eggsorter project? 10 11 Finance Concept: When making capital investment decisions we est consider the effect of a change 12 in cash flow. The Excel spreadsheet is extremely useful in calculating cash flows allowing us to compare different assets or depreciation methods (what-ifanalysis) Step 1: Find the accounting yearly depreciation with the straat line method: 16 Depreciable Basis-Cost of the Asset-Salvage Value SL (Straight-Line) Depreciation - Ininal Cost - Salvage Vale/smber of years 19 Hint Salvage Value for depreciation=1 in cell E22 20 Cost of Asset 1.
