4. Company X is considering a capital project about which the following information is available: Investment outlay on the project will be Rs. 10 crores which includes Rs. 2 crores of working capital Project life is expected to be 5 years.

It has a remaining life of five years after which its net salvage value is expected to be Rs. 1.6 lakhs. The company is following a depreciation rate of 25% under the written down value method. The working capital required for the old machine is Rs. 4.00 lakhs.
The new machine costs Rs. 16.0 lakhs. It is expected to fetch a net salvage value of Rs. 8.0 lakhs after 5 years when it will be no longer required. The depreciation rate is to be considered same as that of existing machine. The net working capital required for the new machine is Rs. 5.00 lakhs. The new machine is expected to bring a saving of Rs. 3.0 lakhs annually in manufacturing costs (other than depreciation). The tax rate applicable to the firm is 40%.
