Problem 5: IBM is considering 2 alternative production methods for a new hand-held computer. Costs (in millions) and lives associated with the equipment necessary for each method are: Year 0 1 2 3 4 The relevant opportunity cost of capital is 10%. What method should IBM choose if Part A: They do not replace the equipment when it wears out Method 1 Net Present Cost = -900 -20 * ADF(10%, 3) = -900 20*2.4869 = -949.74 Method 1 Cost $900 20 20 20 Method 2 Cost $800 80 80 80 80 Method 2 NPC = -800-80 * ADF(10%,4) = -800 - 80 * 3.1699 = -$1,053.59 They should choose Method 1 as it has lower Net Present Cost TABLE A.3 Present value of an annuity of $1 per period for t periods = [1-1/(1+r)/r Number of Periods 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 30 40 50 19 .9901 1.9704 2.9410 3.9020 4.8534 5.7955 6.7282 7.6517 8.5660 9.4713 10.3676 11.2551 12.1337 13.0037 13.8651 14.7179 15.5623 16.3983 17.2260 18.0456 18.8570 19.6604 20.4558 21.2434 22.0232 25.8077 32.8347 39.1961 29 9804 1.9416 2.8839 3.8077 4.7135 5.6014 6.4720 7.3255 8.1622 8.9826 9.7868 10.5753 11.3484 12.1062 12.8493 13.5777 14.2919 14.9920 15.6785 16.3514 17.0112 17.6580 18.2922 18.9139 19.5235 22.3965 27.3555 31.4236 3% .9709 1.9135 2.8286 3.7171 4.5797 5.4172 6.2303 7.0197 7.7861 8.5302 9.2526 9.9540 10.6350 11.2961 11.9379 12.5611 13.1661 13.7535 14.3238 14.8775 15.4150 15.9369 16.4436 16.9355 17.4131 19.6004 23.1148 25.7298 4% 9615 1.8861 2.7751 3.6299 4.4518 5.2421 6.0021 6.7327 7.4353 8.1109 8.7605 9.3851 9.9856 10.5631 11.1184 11.6523 12.1657 12.6593 13.1339 13.5903 14.0292 14.4511 14.8568 15.2470 15.6221 17.2920 19.7928 21.4822 5% 9524 1.8594 2.7232 3.5460 4.3295 5.0757 5.7864 6.4632 7.1078 7.7217 8.3064 8.8633 9.3936 9.8986 10.3797 10.8378 11.2741 11.6896 12.0853 12.4622 12.8212 13.1630 13.4886 13.7986 14.0939 15.3725 17.1591 18.2559 6 9434 1.8334 2.6730 3.4651 4.2124 4.9173 5.5824 6.2098 6.8017 7.3601 7.8869 8.3838 8.8527 9.2950 9.7122 10.1059 10.4773 10.8276 11.1581 11.4699 11.7641 12.0416 12.3034 12.5504 12.7834 13.7648 15.0463 15.7619 7% .9346 1.8080 2.6243 3.3872 4.1002 4.7665 5.3893 5.9713 6.5152 7.0236 7.4987 7.9427 8.3577 8.7455 9.1079 9.4466 9.7632 10.0591 10.3356 10.5940 10.8355 11.0612 11.2722 11.4693 11.6536 12.4090 13.3317 13.8007 85 9259 1.7833 2.5771 3.3121 3.9927 4.6229 5.2064 5.7466 6.2469 6.7101 7.1390 7.5361 7.9038 8.2442 8.5595 8.8514 9.1216 9.3719 9.6036 9.8181 10.0168 10.2007 10.3741 10.5288 10.6748 11.2578 11.9246 12.2335 9% 9174 1.7591 2.5313 3.2397 3.8897 4.4859 5.0330 5.5348 5.9952 6.4177 6.8052 7.1607 7.4869 7.7862 8.0607 8.3126 8.5436 8.7556 8.9501 9.1285 9.2922 9.4424 9.5802 9.7066 9.8226 10.2737 10.7574 10.9617 Interest Rate 10% 9091 1.7355 2.4869 3.1699 3.7908 4.3553 4.8684 5.3349 5.7590 6.1446 6.4951 6.8137 7.1034 7.3667 7.6061 7.8237 8.0216 8.2014 8.3649 8.5136 8.6487 8.7715 8.8832 8.9847 9.0770 9.4269 9.7791 9.9148 12% .8929 1.6901 2.4018 3.0373 3.6048 4.1114 4.5638 4.9676 5.3282 5.6502 5.9377 6.1944 6.4235 6.6282 6.8109 6.9740 7.1196 7.2497 7.3658 7.4694 7.5620 7.6446 7.7184 7.7843 7.8431 8.0552 8.2438 8.3045 14% 8772 1.6467 2.3216 2.9137 3.4331 3.8887 4.2883 4.6389 4.9464 5.2161 5.4527 5.6603 5.8424 6.0021 6.1422 6.2651 6.3729 6.4674 6.5504 6.6231 6.6870 6.7429 6.7921 6.8351 6.8729 7.0027 7.1050 7.1327 15% .8696 1.6257 2.2832 2.8550 3.3522 3.7845 4.1604 4.4873 4.7716 5.0188 5.2337 5.4206 5.5831 5.7245 5.8474 5.9542 6.0472 6.1280 6.1982 6.2593 6.3125 6.3587 6.3988 6.4338 6.4641 6.5660 6.6418 6.6605 16% 8621 1.6052 2.2459 2.7982 3.2743 3.6847 4.0386 4.3436 4.6065 4.8332 5.0286 5.1971 5.3423 5.4675 5.5755 5.6685 5.7487 5.8178 5.8775 5.9288 5.9731 6.0113 6.0442 6.0726 6.0971 6.1772 6.2335 6.2463 18% .8475 1.5656 2.1743 2.6901 3.1272 3.4976 3.8115 4.0776 4.3030 4.4941 4.6560 4.7932 4.9095 5.0081 5.0916 5.1624 5.2223 5.2732 5.3162 5.3527 5.3837 5.4099 5.4321 5.4509 5.4669 5.5168 5.5482 5.5541 20% .8333 1.5278 2.1065 2.5887 2.9906 3.3255 3.6046 3.8372 4.0310 4.1925 4.3271 4.4392 4.5327 4.6106 4.6755 4.7296 4.7746 4.8122 4.8435 4.8696 4.8913 4.9094 4.9245 4.9371 4.9476 4.9789 4.9966 4.9995 24% 8065 1.4568 1.9813 2.4043 2.7454 3.0205 3.2423 3.4212 3.5655 3.6819 3.7757 3.8514 3.9124 3.9616 4.0013 4.0333 4.0591 4.0799 4.0967 4.1103 4.1212 4.1300 4.1371 4.1428 4.1474 4.1601 4.1659 4.1666 28% 7813 1.3916 1.8684 2.2410 2.5320 2.7594 2.9370 3.0758 3.1842 3.2689 3.3351 3.3868 3.4272 3.4587 3.4834 3.5026 3.5294 3.5386 3.5458 3.5514 3.5558 3.5592 3.5619 3.5640 3.5693 3.5712 32% 3.5714 7576 1.3315 1.7663 2.0957 2.3452 2.5342 2.6775 2.7860 2.8681 2.9304 2.9776 3.0133 3.0404 3.0609 3.0764 3.0882 3.1039 3.1090 3.1129 3.1158 3.1180 3.5177 3.0971 2.7629 3.1197 3.1210 3.1220 3.1242 3.1250 36% 3.1250 7353 1.2760 1.6735 1.9658 2.1807 2.3388 2.4550 2.5404 2.6033 2.6495 2.6834 2.7084 2.7268 2.7403 2.7502 2.7575 2.7668 2.7697 2.7718 2.7734 2.7746 2.7754 2.7760 2.7765 2.7775 2.7778 2.7778 Problem 5: IBM is considering 2 alternative production methods for a new hand-held computer.
