Mills Corp. is considering two mutually exclusive machines. Machine A requires an up-front expenditure at t = 0 of $510,000, has an expected life of 2 years, and will generate positive after-tax cash flows of $390,000 per year (all cash flows are realized at the end of the year) for 2 years. At the end of 2 years the machine will have zero salvage value, but every 2 years the company can purchase a replacement machine with the same cost and identical cash inflows.

Alternatively, it can choose Machine B, which requires an expenditure of $1.2 million at t = 0, has an expected life of 4 years, and will generate positive after-tax cash flows of $430,000 per year (all cash flows are realized at year-end). At the end of 4 years, Machine B will have an after-tax salvage value of $100,000.

The cost of capital is 11%. What is the NPV (on an extended 4-year life) of the better machine?


$197,438


$199,925


$283,552


$286,026

There can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa. It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
