1. Walker Inc. is considering the purchase of new equipment that will automate production and thus reduce labor costs. Walker made the following estimates related to the new machinery: Cost of the equipment $120,000 Reduced annual labor costs $40,000 Estimated life of equipment 5 years Terminal disposal value $0 After-tax cost of capital 8% Tax rate 25% Assume depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis for tax purposes. Assume all cash flows occur at year-end except for initial investment amounts. Required: 1. Calculate (a) net present value, (b) payback period, (c) discounted payback period, and(d) internal rate of return. 2. Compare and contrast the capital budgeting methods in requirement 1.
