You’ve decided to give up playing the stock market and buy some zero-coupon bonds from Joe the cut-rate bond dealer instead. (Remember, zero-coupon bonds because they pay off a known amount, $1,000, at maturity and involve no other cash flows other than the purchase price.) Assume your required rate of return is 12%.

For Week 8, please turn in the answers to the following questions:

1. List the three steps that make up the general approach to capital budgeting.

2. Define an “Incremental cash flow” as the term is used in capital budgeting

3. Your firm is considering buying a new machine that costs $200,000, is expected to generate $110,000 in new revenue each year and will cost $45,000 a year to operate. If your firm’s marginal income tax rate is 35% what is the Net Cash Flow your firm will realize from the new machine during the first year? Assume the MACRS depreciation rate for the machine for year 1 is 20%.
