Atlantic Drydock is considering replacing an existing hoist with one of two newer, more efficient
pieces of equip- ment. The existing hoist is 3 years old, cost $32,000, and is being depreciated under
MACRS using a 5-year recovery period. Although the existing hoist has only 3 years (years 4, 5, and 6) of
depreciation remaining under MACRS, it has a remaining usable life of 5 years. Hoist A, one of the two
possible replacement hoists, costs $40,000 to purchase and $8,000 to install. It has a 5-year usable life
and will be depreciated under MACRS using a 5-year recovery period. Hoist B costs $54,000 to purchase
and $6,000 to install. It also has a 5-year usable life and will be depreci- ated under MACRS using a 5-
year recovery period.
Increased investments in net working capital will accompany the decision to acquire hoist A or
hoist B. Purchase of hoist A would result in a $4,000 increase in net working capital; hoist B would
result in a $6,000 increase in net working capital. The projected earnings before depreciation, interest,
and taxes with each alternative hoist and the existing hoist are given in the following table.
Earnings before
depreciation, interest, and taxes
Year With hoist A With hoist B With existing hoist
1 $ 21,000 $ 22,000 $ 14,000
2 $ 21,000 $ 24,000 $ 14,000
3 $ 21,000 $ 26,000 $ 14,000
4 $ 21,000 $ 26,000 $ 14,000
5 $ 21,000 $ 26,000 $ 14,000
The existing hoist can currently be sold for $18,000 and will not incur any removal or cleanup costs.
At the end of 5 years, the existing hoist can be sold to net $1,000 before taxes. Hoists A and B can be
sold to net $12,000 and $20,000 before taxes, respectively, at the end of the 5-year period. The firm is
subject to a 40% tax rate. (Table 4.2 on page 117 contains the applicable MACRS deprecia- tion
percentages.)
a. Calculate the initial investment associated with each alternative.
b. Calculate the incremental operating cash inflows associated with each alternative. (Note: Be sure to
consider the depreciation in year 6.)
c. Calculate the terminal cash flow at the end of year 5 associated with each alternative.
d. Depict on a time line the relevant cash flows associated with each alternative.

Spreadsheet Exercise
Damon Corporation, a sports equipment manufacturer, has a machine currently in use that was
originally purchased 3 years ago for $120,000. The firm depreciates the machine under MACRS using a
5-year recovery period. Once removal and cleanup costs are taken into consideration, the expected net
selling price for the present machine will be $70,000.
Damon can buy a new machine for a net price of $160,000 (including installation costs of $15,000).
The proposed machine will be depreciated under MACRS using a 5-year recovery period. If the firm
acquires the new machine, its working capital needs will change—accounts receivable will increase
$15,000, inventory will increase $19,000, and accounts payable will increase $16,000.
Earnings before depreciation, interest, and taxes (EBDIT) for the present machine are expected to
be $95,000 for each of the successive 5 years. For the proposed machine, the expected EBDIT for each
of the next 5 years are $105,000, $110,000, $120,000, $120,000, and $120,000, respectively. The
corporate tax rate (T) for the firm is 40%. (Table 4.2 on page 117 contains the applicable MACRS
depreciation percentages.)
Damon expects to be able to liquidate the proposed machine at the end of its 5-year usable life for
$24,000 (after paying removal and cleanup costs). The present machine is expected to net $8,000 upon
liquidation at the end of the same period. Damon expects to recover its net working capital investment
upon termination of the project. The firm is subject to a tax rate of 40%.
Create a spreadsheet similar to Tables 11.1, 11.5, 11.7, and 11.9 to answer the following:
a. Create a spreadsheet to calculate the initial investment.
b. Create a spreadsheet to prepare a depreciation schedule for both the proposed
and the present machine. Both machines are depreciated under MACRS using a 5-year recovery period.
Remember, the present machine has only 3 years of depreciation remaining.
c. Create a spreadsheet to calculate the operating cash inflows for Damon Corporation for both the
proposed and the present machine.
d. Create a spreadsheet to calculate the terminal cash flow associated with the project.
