PLEASE USE EXCEL AND SHOW THE FORMULA Problem 2[10 points]:
The Sumitomo Chemical Corporation is considering replacing a 5-year-old machine that originally cost
$50,000 and can be sold for $60,000. This machine is totally depreciated. The replacement machine
would cost $125,000 and have a 5-year expected life over which it would be depreciated down using the
straight-line method and have no salvage value at the end of five years. The new machine would produce
savings before depreciation and taxes of $45,000 per year. Assuming a 34 percent marginal tax rate and
a required return of 10%, calculate:
(a) The internal rate of return and the net present value (7 points)
(b) Assume now that the machine to be replaced is not totally depreciated. This machine presently
has a book value of $25,000. It is currently being depreciated using the straight-line method down
to a terminal value of zero over the next five years, generating a depreciation of $5,000 per year.
If the rest of the problem's variables do not vary, what is now the net present value of substituting
the machine? (3 point)
