deducted from any cash inflows received.

deducted from any cash inflows received.
4) In evaluating a proposed project, incremental operating cash inflows are relevant cash flows.

Table 11.2
Computer Disk Duplicators, Inc. has been considering several capital investment proposals for the year
beginning in 2019. For each investment proposal, the relevant cash flows and other relevant financial data
are summarized in the table below. New assets will be depreciated under the MACRS system rather than
being fully expensed right away. In the case of a replacement decision, the total installed cost of the
equipment will be partially offset by the sale of existing equipment. The firm is subject to a 40 percent tax
rate on ordinary income and on long-term capital gains. The firm's cost of capital is 15 percent.

Table 11.5
Nuff Folding Box Company, Inc. is considering purchasing a new gluing machine. The gluing machine
costs $50,000 and requires installation costs of $2,500. This outlay would be partially offset by the sale of
an existing gluer. The existing gluer originally cost $10,000 and is four years old. It is being depreciated
under MACRS using a five-year recovery schedule and can currently be sold for $15,000. The existing
gluer has a remaining useful life of five years. If held until year 5, the existing machine's market value
would be zero. Over its five-year life, the new machine should reduce operating costs (excluding
depreciation) by $17,000 per year. Training costs of employees who will operate the new machine will be
a one-time cost of $5,000 which should be included in the initial outlay. The new machine will be
depreciated under MACRS using a five-year recovery period. The firm has a 12 percent cost of capital
and a 40 percent tax on ordinary income and capital gains.
