Weston Ltd. is considering investing in a new piece of equipment for its factory. It estimates that the machine will generate an additional $120,000 per year in revenues. The contribution margin on these incremental revenues is estimated at 40%. Incremental annual fixed costs are estimated to be $8,200. The equipment would have a salvage value of $14,000 at the end of 6 years. The company's required rate of return is 13%. What is the net present value of this investment if the equipment costs $250,000? (Ignore income taxes.)
A) $2,800
B) ($51,393)

Explanation:  E) Annual cash flows:
CM = 40% * $120,000 = $48,000
Incremental Annual CF = $48,000 - $8,200 = $39,800 (years 1-5) [ PV = $139,986 ]
Year 6 CF = $39,800 + $14,000 = $53,800 [ PV = $25,841 ]
PV of Cash in = $165,827
Cash In - Initial investment = $165,827 - $250,000 = ($84,173)
