You and your business partner have been running your company for one year now—long enough for your accountant to prepare a complete set of financial statements for your review. Your business partner maintains that everything she needs to know about the business is contained in the balance sheet, the statement of cash flows, and the income statement.
As a business owner, discuss at least one item (account) reported on the income statement that would help you make decisions about future business operations. In addition, choose 1 of the questions below to answer based on your response:

Madison Manufacturing is considering a new machine that costs $350,000 and would reduce pre-tax manufacturing costs by $110,000 annually. Madison would use the 3-year MACRS method to depreciate the machine, and management thinks the machine would have a value of $33,000 at the end of its 5-year operating life. The applicable depreciation rates are 33.33%, 44.45%, 14.81%, and 7.42%, as discussed in Appendix 11A. Working capital would increase by $35,000 initially, but it would be recovered at the end of the project’s 5-year life. Madison’s marginal tax rate is 40%, and a 10% WACC is appropriate for the project. Boom (11-12) a. Calculate the project’s NPV, IRR, MIRR, and payback. b. Assume management is unsure about the $110,000 cost savings-this figure could deviate by as much as plus or minus 20%. What would the NPV be under each of these extremes?
