One year ago, your company purchased a machine used in manufacturing for $105,000. You have learned that a new machine is available that offers many advantages and you can purchase it for $160,000 today. It will be depreciated on a straight-line basis over 10 years and has no salvage value. You expect that the new machine will produce a gross margin (revenues minus operating expenses other than depreciation) of $60,000 per year for the next 10 years. The current machine is expected to produce a gross margin of $21,000 per year. The current machine is being depreciated on a straight-line basis over a useful life of 11 years, and has no salvage value, so depreciation expense for the current machine is $9,545 per year. The market value today of the current machine is $65,000. Your company's tax rate is 40%, and the opportunity cost of capital for this type of equipment is 10%. Should your company replace its year-old machine? The NPV of replacing the year-old machine is $ (Round to the nearest dollar.)

The Dauten Toy Corporation currently uses an injection molding machine that was purchased prior to the new tax legislation. This machine is being depreciated on a straight-line basis, and it has 6 years of remaining life. Its current book value is $2,400, and it can be sold for $2,600 at this time. Thus, the annual depreciation expense is $2,400/6 = $400 per year. If the old machine is not replaced, it can be sold for $500 at the end of its useful life. 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 $800 per year; even so, the new machine's much greater efficiency would cause operating expenses to decline by $1,000 per year. The new machine would require that inventories be increased by $2,500, but accounts payable would…

One year ago, your company purchased a machine used in manufacturing for $90,000. You have learned that a new machine is available that offers many advantages and you can purchase it for $145,000 today. It will be depreciated on a straight-line basis over 10 years and has no salvage value. You expect that the new machine will produce a gross margin (revenues minus operating expenses other than depreciation) of $45,000 per year for the next 10 years. The current machine is expected to produce a gross margin of $22,000 per year.

You are evaluating two different silicon wafer milling machines. The Techron I costs $270,000, has a 3-year life, and has pretax operating costs of $73,000 per year. The Techron II costs $470,000, has a 5-year life, and has pretax operating costs of $46,000 per year. For both milling machines, use straight-line depreciation to zero over the project's life and assume a salvage value of $50,000. If your tax rate is 24 percent and your discount rate is 10 percent, compute the EAC for both machines. (A negative answer should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) Techron I Techron II
