    “Management has decided to acquire a new asset that costs $200,000. The estimated economic life of the asset is five years, but the firm wants the use of the asset only for three years. If the firm purchases the asset, it anticipates selling it at the end of three years for $50,000. The firm may lease the asset for $55,000 a year paid at the end of each year. The lease does not include maintenance. It is estimated that annual maintenance initially will be $5,000 (paid at the end of the year), but that cost will increase by $1,000 each year as the asset ages. The firm could purchase the asset with a five-year loan of $200,000. The loan will be retired in five payments of $40,000 unless the equipment is sold, in which case the loan must be paid off at closing of the sale. The interest rate is 10 percent and is paid at the end of each year on the balance owed. The annual interest payment is provided below. If the firm does purchase the asset, it will enter into a maintenance agreement with the manufacturer that costs $5,000 a year. The annual depreciation expense is provided below.

    Project A: Net present value is found by taking the original investment cost, $100,000 (that would be a negative amount since it's cash out the door), and then adding the present value of the annual cash inflows expected ($32,000 for 5 years at the required rate of return of 11%). You look up in the present value annuity table the factor for 5 years at 11%, which is 3.696, and multiply by 32,000 to get present value of expected cash inflows = $118,272. Net present value = $118,272 - $100,000 = $18,272 Payback period is the time that it takes a project to recover its initial cost from the revenue it generates. Payback period = Investment required / Net annual cash inflow = $100,000 / $32,000 = 3.125 years.…
