Montilus Products Inc. is considering the purchase of a new machine, which will reduce manufacturing costs by $15,000 annually. Montilus will use the MACRS accelerated method to depreciate the machine (5-year MACRS class life), and it expects to sell the machine at the end of its 6-year operating life for $10,000. The firm expects to be able to reduce net operating working capital by $12,000 when the machine is installed, but required working capital will return to the original level when the machine is sold after 6 years. Montilus's marginal tax rate is 40 percent and it uses a discount rate of 12 percent to evaluate projects of this nature. If the machine costs $50,000 what is the project's NPV and IRR?
