Question:
If the Bowie plant is sold, those operations will need to shift to the main Largo facility. The CEO is proposing to acquire robotics-based sorting and distribution equipment to facilitate more cost-effective operations (and be able to handle the increased workload) at Largo.
The CFO has asked you to evaluate the cash flow projections associated with the equipment purchase proposal and recommend whether the purchase should go forward. Table 2 shows projections of the cash inflows and outflows that would occur during the first eight years using the new equipment.
Keep the following in mind:
- Depreciation. The equipment will be depreciated using the straight-line method over eight years. The projected salvage value is $0.
- Taxes. The CFO estimates that company operations as a whole will be profitable on an ongoing basis. As a result, any accounting loss on this specific project will provide a tax benefit in the year of the loss.
