a) Ans) V. Last year's expenditure is considered as sunk cost and does not represent an incremental cash flow . Hence it should not be included in the analysis

Sunk cost is the cost which is already incurred and thus should not be considered

b) Statement showing Initial Investment

Particulars Amount
Purchase price of milling machine including shipping and installation cost 182000
Tax shield on depreciation
(182000 x 25%)
-45500
Change in cash flow due to change in WC 3500
Initial Investment 140000

Thus Initial Investment = $ 140000

c) Statement showing annual cash flow

Particulars 1 2 3
Savings in Pretax labour cost 51000 51000 51000
Tax expense @ 25% 12750 12750 12750
Post tax savings in labour cost/Annual cash flow 38250 38250 38250
Release of WC     3500
Cash flow from sale of asset
=62000(1-tax rate)
=62000(1-25%)
=62000(0.75)
=46500
    46500
Total cash flow 38250 38250 88250

Year 1 : 38250 $

Year 2 : 38250 $

Year 3 : 88250 $

D) Statement showing NPV

Particulars 1 2 3 Total
Total cash flow 38250 38250 88250  
PVIF @ 8% 0.9259 0.8573 0.7938  
PV 35416.67 32793.21 70055.70 138265.57
Less : Initial cash flow       140000.00
NPV       -1734.43

Thus NPV = - 1734.43 $

Since NPV is negative machine should not be purchased
