d. The cost savings associated with the new machine will result in less cash outflow each year,
13-3 Capital budgeting analysis should only include those cash flows that will be affected by the
decision. Sunk costs are unrecoverable and cannot be changed, so they have no bearing on the

investment in receivables and inventories, over and above the increase (decrease) in payables and

Numerical Solution: Without a financial calculator, you must use a trial-and-error process—
plug in values for IRR until the right side of the computation equals $52,125.
Financial calculator: Input the appropriate cash flows into the cash flow register and then
solve for IRR = 16%.

times the MACRS percentage allowances of 0.20, 0.32, 0.19, 0.12, 0.11, and 0.06 in Years 1–6,
respectively.
b Depreciation tax savings = T(Depreciation) = 0.4(Depreciation).
Now recognize that at the end of Year 6 Dauten would recover its net working capital
investment of $1,500, and it would also receive $800 from the sale of the replacement machine.
However, because the machine would be fully depreciated, the firm must pay 0.40($800) =
$320 in taxes on the sale. Also, by undertaking the replacement now, the firm forgoes the right
to sell the old machine for $500 in Year 6; thus, this $500 in Year 6 must be considered an
opportunity cost in that year. No tax would be due because the $500 salvage value would equal
the old machine’s Year 6 book value.
Finally, place all the cash flows on a time line:
0 1 2 3 4 5 6
Net investment (6,660)
After-tax revenue increase 1,500 1,500 1,500 1,500 1,500 1,500
13-27 a. Old depreciation = ($70,000 – $10,000)/6 = $10,000 per year.
Current book value = $70,000 – 2($10,000) = $50,000.
