SOLUTIONS TO PROBLEMS
Note: The MACRS depreciation percentages used in the following problems appear in
Chapter 3, Table 3.2. The percentages are rounded to the nearest integer for ease in
calculation.
For simplification, five-year-lived projects with 5 years of cash inflows are used throughout this
chapter. Projects with usable lives equal to the number of years cash inflows are also included
in the end-of-chapter problems. It is important to recall from Chapter 3 that, under the Tax
Reform Act of 1986, MACRS depreciation results in n + 1 years of depreciation for an n-year
class asset. This means that in actual practice projects will typically have at least one year of
cash flow beyond their recovery period.

An expansion project is simply a replacement decision in which all cash flows from the
old asset are zero.
8-5
a.
The $1,000,000 development costs should not be considered part of the decision to go
ahead with the new production. This money has already been spent and cannot be
retrieved so it is a sunk cost.
b.
The $250,000 sale price of the existing line is an opportunity cost. If Masters Golf
Products does not proceed with the new line of clubs they will not receive the
$250,000.

a.
Sunk cost - The funds for the tooling had already been expended and would not
change, no matter whether the new technology would be acquired or not.
b.
Opportunity cost - The development of the computer programs can be done without
additional expenditures on the computers; however, the loss of the cash inflow from the
leasing arrangement would be a lost opportunity to the firm.
c.
Opportunity cost - Covol will not have to spend any funds for floor space but the lost
cash inflow from the rent would be a cost to the firm.
d.
Sunk cost - The money for the storage facility has already been spent, and no matter
what decision the company makes there is no incremental cash flow generated or lost
from the storage building.
e.
Opportunity cost - Foregoing the sale of the crane costs the firm $180,000 of potential
cash inflows.

Analysis of the purchase of a new machine reveals an increase in net working capital.
This increase should be treated as an initial outlay and is a cost of acquiring the new
machine.
c.
Yes, in computing the terminal cash flow, the net working capital increase should be
reversed.
