machine B should be purchased Becoze It's NPV is lower then machina A.

 

Particulars                                                                                      A                          B          
 
1)Purchase Cost                                                    100000             150000
2)Running Cost Of Machines                                    32000               20000
3)Cumulative Present Value @ 10% for 10 yrs       6.1446               6.1446
4)Present Value of Running Cost of Machine(2*3) 196627              122892
5)Cash Flow of Machines (1+4)                              296627              272892
6)Equivalent P.V of annual Cash outflow (5/3)        48274                 44412
 
Machine B Should be selected since its equivalent cash outflow is less than Machine A
 

machine B should be selected 

 

Machine A Machine B
Cash outflow at the beginning of year one 100000 150000
Annual Cashflow 32000 20000
Tax saving due to depreciation 5000 7500
PVAF 6.1446 6.1446
Present Value of cash outflows((b-c)*d) 165904.2 76807.5
Net cash Outflow 265904.2 226807.5
 

Therefore machine B should be selected
