CAPITAL BUDGETING PRACTICE PROBLEMS
Self-Study Question
Nu-Concepts, Inc., a southeastern advertising agency, is considering the purchase of new computer
equipment and software to enhance its graphics capabilities. Management has been considering several
alternative systems, and a local vendor has submitted a quote to the company of $15,000 for the
equipment plus $16,800 for software. Assume that the equipment can be depreciated for tax purposes over
three years as follows: year 1, $5,000; year 2, $5,000; year 3, $5,000. The software can be written off
immediately for tax purposes. The company expects to use the new machine for four years and to use
straight-line depreciation for financial reporting purposes. The market for used computer systems is such
that Nu-Concepts could sell the equipment for $2,000 at the end of four years. The software would have no
salvage value at that time.
Nu-Concepts management believes that the introduction of the computer system will enable the company
to dispose of its existing equipment, which is fully depreciated for tax purposes. It can be sold for an
estimated $200 but would have no salvage value in four years. If Nu-Concepts does not buy the new
equipment, it would continue to use the old graphics system for four more years.
Management believes that it will realize improvements in operations and benefits from the computer system
worth $16,000 per year before taxes.
Nu-Concepts uses a 10 percent discount rate for this investment and has a marginal income tax rate of 40
percent after considering both state and federal taxes.
a. Prepare a schedule showing the relevant cash flows for the project.
b. Indicate whether the project has a positive or negative net present value.
