How to Calculate the Present Value of New Equipment
Question
PC Shopping Network may upgrade its modem pool. It last upgraded 2 years ago, when it spent $115 million on equipment with a life of 5 years and a salvage value of $15 million. The old equipment can be sold today for $80 million. A technology consultant hired by PC Shopping Network has suggested that a new modem pool can be installed today for $150 million. This will have a 3-year life with a salvage value of $30 million. Both the new and old equipment are in an asset class with a CCA rate of 30%. PC Shopping Network has other assets in this asset class. The consultant’s fee, payable this month, is $10,000. The new equipment will enable the firm to increase sales by $25 million per year and decrease operating costs by $10 million per year. It will also require the firm to keep $5 million of extra inventory on hand. The additional inventory will not be needed after the useful life of the equipment. Assume the firm’s tax rate is 35% and the discount rate for projects of this sort is 12%.
a. If the company decides to replace their existing modem pool with the new equipment, sales will increase and costs will decline. What is the impact of these changes for the firm’s cash flow? In other words, find the present value of the incremental cash flows over the life of the project that result from the changes in sales and costs.
b. Replacing the old equipment with new equipment results in changes to the company’s asset class and therefore changes to its depreciation tax shield. Find the PV of the depreciation tax shield associated with replacing the equipment.
c. Should the company replace the modem pool? Support your decision by finding the NPV of replacing the equipment.
Summary
The question belongs to Finance and it is about a company which is weighing options to install a new pool and dispose off the old pool. The installation of new pool will increase sales and decline costs. The present value of the new pool installation has been given in the solution.

The budget friendly yet high quality of online math tutoring that I received from HwA has helped me improve my grades by almost double! The online math tutoring sessions give me the requisite confidence about the subject that subsequently helps me to better write my math assignments and math homework and ultimately improves my grade.

The opportunity to talk to your online network security tutor anytime during the day is a great help. It is extremely helpful when you want to clarify any point in your assignment. The tutors are extremely professional and they have great knowledge on practically any topic under the sun in IT security. Would definitely recommend to all.

1. As an undergraduate statistics student at one of the leading institutes in London I was finding it increasingly difficult keeping up with the assignments with the rest of the class. I was lost, and not in a good way, in probability, displaying data etc. That is when I found TheReliableTutor.com. Here the stats homework solver helped me out with all my assignments and I have been getting great reviews and grades since then.

I totally loved getting helped from a Melbourne based tutor via HwA as I believe someone from UK or the States could have understood the specifications required for my assignment. It is a marvellous website and I encourage all my fellow students from Melbourne to avail help from HwA as and when they need.

I wouldn’t have been aware of the nitty-gritty of movie review if it was not for HwA. It all started when I took their help with the review of the 2010 movie, “Never let me go†and from then onwards during my entire scrip writing course I took help from experts of HwA to do my movie reviews and each time I got excellent grades.

Hello Allison,I love the 2nd image that you did! I also, had never heard of SumoPaint, is something that I will have to exolpre a bit! I understand completely the 52 (or so) youtube videos that you probably watched. Sometimes they have what you want, sometimes they don't! However, it is always satisfying when you are able to produce something that you have taught yourself. Great job!Debra 0 likes
