Beautifully Fabulous Beauty Salon manufactures two products, Beauty Gloss and Cocooning Spray. Beauty Gloss is of fairly recent origin, having been developed as an attempt to enter a market closely related to that of Cocooning Spray. Beauty Gloss is produced on an automated production line. Due to the forecast of economic growth, the BFBS is considering purchasing a new machine costing $40,000. The machine will have 10 years of useful life and a salvage value of $6,000. Using the straight-line depreciation method, the original machine cost will be depreciated over 10 years not considering the salvage value in the calculation of the depreciation. The new machine will generate $15,000 in annual net cash flows throughout its useful life (ordinary annuity). To maintain the machine it will require additional working capital of $3,000, which would be released at the end of the useful life. The company’s tax rate is 40% and its discount rate is 10%.
