Question 1136368: The CEO of Dynamic Manufacturing was at a conference and talked to a supplier about a new piece of equipment for its production process that she believes will produce ongoing cost savings. As the Operations Manager, your CEO has asked for your perspective on whether or not to purchase the machinery.
After talking to the supplier and meeting with your Engineers and Financial Analysts, you’ve gathered the following pieces of data:
• Cost of Machine: $145,000 • Estimated Annual After Tax Cash Flow Savings: $60,000 (which may or may not grow)
• Estimated machinery life: 3-5 years (after which there will be zero value for the equipment and no further cost savings)
• You seem to recall that Dynamic’s Finance organization recommends either a 10% or a 15% discount rate for all Cost Savings Projects
