The Campbell Company is considering adding a robotic paint sprayer to its production line. The sprayer's base price is $1,050,000, and it would cost another $21,500 to install it. The machine falls into the MACRS 3-year class, and it would be sold after 3 years for $553,000. The MACRS rates for the first three years are 0.3333, 0.4445, and 0.1481. The machine would require an increase in net working capital (inventory) of $13,500. The sprayer would not change revenues, but it is expected to save the firm $325,000 per year in before-tax operating costs, mainly labor. Campbell's marginal tax rate is 25%. Required:
a. What is the Year 0 net cash flow?
b. What are the net operating cash flows in Years 1, 2, and 3?
c. What is the additional Year-3 cash flow (i. e., the after-tax salvage and the return of working capital)?
d. Based on your IRR analysis, if the projectâs cost of capital is 12%, should the machine be purchased?

Annuity payments are assumed to come at the end of each payment period (termed an ordinary annuity). however, an exception occurs when the annuity payments come at the beginning of each period (termed an annuity due). what is the future value of a 13-year annuity of $2,800 per period where payments come at the beginning of each period? the interest rate is 9 percent. use appendix c for an approximate answer, but calculate your final answer using the formula and financial calculator methods. to find the future value of an annuity due when using the appendix tables, add 1 to n and subtract 1 from the tabular value. for example, to find the future value of a $100 payment at the beginning of each period for five periods at 10 percent, go to appendix c for n = 6 and i = 10 percent. look up the value of 7.716 and subtract 1 from it for an answer of 6.716 or $671.60 ($100 × 6.716)
