A factory has the following alternative: buy a used machine at a price of $10,000.00 or a new machine at a price of $30,000.00. Annual labor costs are $20,000 for the used machine and $15,000 for the new machine. The annual energy costs are $8,000.00 and $10,000.00 respectively. In the case of the used machine, the salvage value after 5 years would be nil, while that of the new machine would be equal to $5,000.00. Considering an MARR of 20% per year what is the best alternative? Use the equivalent annual cost

Dauten is offered a replacement machine which has a cost of 8,000, an estimated useful life of 6 years, and an estimated salvage value of 800. The replacement machine is eligible for 100% bonus depreciation at the time of purchase- The replacement machine would permit an output expansion, so sales would rise by 1,000 per year; even so, the new machines much greater efficiency would cause operating expenses to decline by 1,500 per year The new machine would require that inventories be increased by 2,000, but accounts payable would simultaneously increase by 500. Dautens marginal federal-plus-state tax rate is 25%, and its WACC is 11%. Should it replace the old machine?
The Fine Clothing Factory wants to replace an old machine with a new one. The old machine can be sold to a small factory for R10 000. The new machine would increase annual revenue by R150 000 and annual operating expenses by R60 000. The new machine would cost R360 000. The estimated useful life of the machine is 12 years with zero salvage value. Using Average rate of return (ARR), Should Fine Clothing Factory purchase the machine if management desired rate of return of 15% on all capital investments? Show all the calculations and motivate your answer.
A casting company is considering the replacement analysis of a furnace. If it is bought from A factory, annual operating and maintenance costs will be 50.000 TL/year. It can be kept for 10 years. The purchase cost is 300.000 TL. The scrap value is 15.000 TL. If the furnace is bought from the B factory, the annual operating and maintenance cost will be 30.000 TL/year. Economical life of this machine is 5 years. The purchase cost is 250.000 TL and the Scrap Value is 25.000 TL. Capital cost is 25% for two factories. Based on these data, what will be the present value (TV) of the annual operating expense of alternative A? A) 188525 B) 198525 C) 178525 D) 158525 E) 168525
Two different mutually exclusive alternatives can be used for producing a certain machine part. Alternative A will have a first cost of $60,000 with a $15,000 salvage value after its 3 year life. The operating cost with this method will be $35,000 per year. Alternative B will cost $45,000, but it will last only 2 years. Its salvage value is $10,000 with an operating cost of $25,000 per year. Using an MARR value of 12% per year, which method should be selected?
An industrial plant has an engine costing of P 7,200 which is 5 years old. Its working life if 15 years and salvage value if P 500. The average operating cost per year thus far has been P 4,200. A new engine costing P 12,000 estimated life 15 years and salvage value of P 800 is guaranteed to have an operating cost of P 3,500 per year. The new engine is considered as a replacement of the old. Will the replacement be justified if P 4,500 can be obtained by the sale of the old engine? Use straight line depreciation with 6% interest rate
The management of Ballard MicroBrew is considering the purchase of an automated bottling machine for $55,000. The machine would replace an old piece of equipment that costs $14,000 per year to operate. The new machine would cost $6,000 per year to operate. The old machine currently in use could be sold now for a salvage value of $20,000. The new machine would have a useful life of 10 years with no salvage value. Required: 1. What is the annual depreciation expense associated with the new bottling machine? 2. What is the annual incremental net operating income provided by the new bottling machine? 3. What is the amount of the initial investment associated with this project that should be used for calculating the simple rate of return? 4. What is the simple rate of return on the new bottling machine? (Round your answer to 1 decimal place i.e. 0.123 should be considered as 12.3%.)

XYZ Enterprise is considering an investment in a new packaging, which could reduce labour costs by 30%. XYZ Enterprise has an annual labour cost of $450,000. The new packaging would cost $725,000 and would replace the old machine that is currently used. The straight line depreciation rate for the new machine is 20% of the purchase price. The new machine would be used for 6 years, with an expected salvage value of $60,000 at the end of its useful life. XYZ Enterprise could obtain a long-term loan at the Canadian Bank and would pay approximately $10,000 interest per year. The old machine was acquired 2 years ago at a cost of $850,000 and is being depreciated over 8 years using the straight-line method. It was expected that after 8 years its salvage value would be zero, but it can be sold now for $212,500. The company ’s tax rate is 35% and its required before-tax return on all investments is 12%. A. Determine the initial investment on the new machine. B. Determine the annual cash flow…

Ballard MicroBrew is considering the purchase of an automated bottling machine for $55,000. The machine would replace an old piece of equipment that costs $14,000 per year to operate. The new machine would cost $6,000 per year to operate. The old machine currently in use is fully depreciated and could be sold now for a salvage value of $20,000. The new machine would have a useful life of 10 years with no salvage value. Required: 1. What is the annual depreciation expense associated with the new bottling machine? 2. What is the annual incremental net operating income provided by the new bottling machine? 3. What is the initial investment used for calculating the machine's simple rate of return? 4. What is the simple rate of return on the new bottling machine? Note: Round your answer to 1 decimal place i.e. 0.123 should be considered as 12.3%. 1. Depreciation expense 2.

The management of ABC company are considering buying a new machine which would produce parts for a client. They have 2 options: Machine A costs $65,000 (useful life: 7 years, salvage value: $5,000) and would have cash sales of $24,000 and cash costs of $10,000 each year during its useful life. It would require $2,000 of working capital which is released at the end of the period. Machine B costs $40,000 (useful life: 6 years, salvage value: $3,000) and would have cash sales of $30,000 and cash costs of $20,000 each year during its useful life. It would require $1,500 working capital which is released at the end of the period. The discount rate of ABC is 12% and the tax rate is 20%. Normally ABC gets their investment back in 4.5 years. Required: a) Compute the NPV for each machine. Which investment is better according to this method? b) Compute the IRR for each machine. Which investment is better according to this method? c) Compute the PBP for each machine. Which investment is better…
In a bio-based material recycling company, the operation managers are considering a twin-screw extruder with a price of 12,000 OMR and another 2,000 OMR will be spent for shipping and installation of the extruder. The estimated net income generated from this machine is 3,500 OMR per year. The extruder will be used for 5 years, and then it will be sold for an estimated market value of 2,500 OMR. The extruder MARCS property class is 5 years. If the effective income tax rate (t) is 40% and the after-tax MARR is 10%. (a) What is the after-tax IRR for this project? (use trial and error procedure and GDS) (b) Should this extruder be purchased by the company?
