Searching for ways to cut costs and increase profit, one of the industrial engineers at Home Comfort Furniture Manufacturers, Inc. determined that the equivalent annual worth of an existing machine over its remaining useful life of 2 years is $-71,000 per year. The IE also determined that used machines like the one currently in use are not available any longer, but the defender can be replaced with a challenger that is more advanced. It will have an AW of $-83,550 if it is kept for 2 years or less, $-75,075 if it is kept between 3 and 4 years, and $-65,000 if it is kept for 5 to 10 years. If the company uses a specified 3-year planning horizon and an interest rate of 14% per year. a) Determine when the company should replace the machine. b) Determine the AW for the next 3 years. a) The company should Keep the machine for 2 years and then replace with the challenger b) The AW for the next 3 years is $

- Flanders Manufacturing is considering purchasing a new machine that will reduce variable costs per part produced by $0.15. The machine will increase fixed costs by $18,250 per year. The information they will use to consider these changes is shown here.Jonfran Company manufactures three different models of paper shredders including the waste container, which serves as the base. While the shredder heads are different for all three models, the waste container is the same. The number of waste containers that Jonfran will need during the following years is estimated as follows: The equipment used to manufacture the waste container must be replaced because it is broken and cannot be repaired. The new equipment would have a purchase price of 945,000 with terms of 2/10, n/30; the companys policy is to take all purchase discounts. The freight on the equipment would be 11,000, and installation costs would total 22,900. The equipment would be purchased in December 20x4 and placed into service on January 1, 20x5. It would have a five-year economic life and would be treated as three-year property under MACRS. This equipment is expected to have a salvage value of 12,000 at the end of its economic life in 20x9. The new equipment would be more efficient than the old equipment, resulting in a 25 percent reduction in both direct materials and variable overhead. The savings in direct materials would result in an additional one-time decrease in working capital requirements of 2,500, resulting from a reduction in direct material inventories. This working capital reduction would be recognized at the time of equipment acquisition. The old equipment is fully depreciated and is not included in the fixed overhead. The old equipment from the plant can be sold for a salvage amount of 1,500. Rather than replace the equipment, one of Jonfrans production managers has suggested that the waste containers be purchased. One supplier has quoted a price of 27 per container. This price is 8 less than Jonfrans current manufacturing cost, which is as follows: Jonfran uses a plantwide fixed overhead rate in its operations. If the waste containers are purchased outside, the salary and benefits of one supervisor, included in fixed overhead at 45,000, would be eliminated. There would be no other changes in the other cash and noncash items included in fixed overhead except depreciation on the new equipment. Jonfran is subject to a 40 percent tax rate. Management assumes that all cash flows occur at the end of the year and uses a 12 percent after-tax discount rate. Required: 1. Prepare a schedule of cash flows for the make alternative. Calculate the NPV of the make alternative. 2. Prepare a schedule of cash flows for the buy alternative. Calculate the NPV of the buy alternative. 3. Which should Jonfran domake or buy the containers? What qualitative factors should be considered? (CMA adapted)Shonda & Shonda is a company that does land surveys and engineering consulting. They have an opportunity to purchase new computer equipment that will allow them to render their drawings and surveys much more quickly. The new equipment will cost them an additional $1.200 per month, but they will be able to increase their sales by 10% per year. Their current annual cost and break-even figures are as follows: A. What will be the impact on the break-even point if Shonda & Shonda purchases the new computer? B. What will be the impact on net operating income if Shonda & Shonda purchases the new computer? C. What would be your recommendation to Shonda & Shonda regarding this purchase?
- Boxer Production, Inc., is in the process of considering a flexible manufacturing system that will help the company react more swiftly to customer needs. The controller, Mick Morrell, estimated that the system will have a 10-year life and a required return of 10% with a net present value of negative $500,000. Nevertheless, he acknowledges that he did not quantify the potential sales increases that might result from this improvement on the issue of on-time delivery, because it was too difficult to quantify. If there is a general agreement that qualitative factors may offer an additional net cash flow of $150,000 per year, how should Boxer proceed with this Investment?Searching for ways to cut costs and increase profit, one of the industrial engineers at Home Comfort Furniture Manufacturers, Inc. determined that the equivalent annual worth of an existing machine over its remaining useful life of 2 years is $70,000 per year. The IE also determined that used machines like the one currently in use are not available any longer, but the defender can be replaced with a challenger that is more advanced. It will have an AW of $80,000 if it is kept for 2 years or less, $75,000 if it is kept between 3 and 4 years, and $65,000 if it is kept for 5 to 10 years. If the company uses a specified 3-year planning horizon and an interest rate of 15% per year, determine (a) when the company should replace the machine, and (b) the AW for the next 3 years.Smithson Mechanical Ltd. is considering replacing an existing hoist with a newer, more efficient piece of equipment. The existing hoist has a remaining useful life of 5 years. The new hoist costs CAD 46,000 to purchase and install and alsohas an estimated life of 5 years. It is a Class 5 asset with a CCA rate of 10.0% The company currently produces 8,500 units per year. The new hoist is expected to reduce variable costs by CAD 1.30 per unit and fixed costs by CAD 3,500 year. An increased investment in new working capital of CAD 4,500 will also be required to support the new machine. The existing hoist can currently be sold for CAD 15,000. At the end of 5 years, the existing hoist will have a salvage value of CAD 2,000. The new hoist can be sold for CAD 11,000 at the end of the 5-year period. The project’s RRR is 7.0% and its tax rate is 25.0%. The present value of the net initial cash flows of this project today is closest to: a) CAD -31,090. b) CAD -35,500. c) CAD -43,957. Net…

"Esquire Company needs to acquire a molding machine to be used in its manufacturing process. Two types of machines that would be appropriate are presently on the market. Machine A could be purchased for $48,000. It will last 10 years with annual maintenance costs of $1,000 per year.

The purchase price of the new machine is $150,000 and the old machine can be sold for $100,000. Output for the two machines is identical; they will both be used to produce the same amount of product for five years. However, the annual operating costs of the old machine are $18,000 compared to $10,000 for the new machine. Also, the new machine has a salvage value of $25,000, but the old machine will be worthless at the end of the five years. You are deciding whether the company should sell the old machine and purchase the new model. You have determined that an 8% rate properly reflects the time value of money in this situation and that all operating costs are paid at the end of the year. For this initial comparison you ignore the effect of the decision on income taxes. Required: What is the incremental cash outflow required to acquire the new machine? What is the present…
