Assume that in recent years a global economic crisis has produced a very high annual inflation rate of 25 percent. Columbian Coffee has decided to use a nominal rate to determine capital budgeting decisions. Its traditional real rate of return is 10 percent. The company is planning on purchasing a special coffee grinding machine that costs $30,000. It is anticipated the equipment will generate savings in nominal dollars as follows:
Year 1$15,000
Year 215,000
Year 310,000
The anticipated salvage value of the equipment at the end of three years is $5,000. The income tax rate of Columbian Coffee is 40 percent. The company uses straight-line amortization for all equipment for tax purposes. The present value factors, in simplified form, are:
YearPV of $1
PV of annuity of $1
