XYZ Ltd. is considering the purchase of new machine. Two alternative machines (A & B) have been
suggested, each having initial cost of Rs. 10,00,000 and requiring Rs. 50,000 as additional working capital at
the end of 1st year. Net cash flows are expected to be as follows:
Year Machine A (in Rs.) Machine B (in Rs.)
1 1,00,000 3,00,000
2 4,00,000 6,00,000
3 4,00,000 3,00,000
4 4,00,000 5,00,000
5 3,00,000 2,00,000
The company has target return on capital of 10% and on this basis you are required to compare the
profitability of the machines and state which alternative you consider to be financially preferable.
