Question

Kim Kwon Digital Components Company assembles circuit boards by using a manually operated machine to insert electronic components. The original cost of the machine is $80,700, the accumulated depreciation is $32,300, its remaining useful life is 5 years, and its residual value is negligible. On May 4 of the current year, a proposal was made to replace the present manufacturing procedure with a fully automatic machine that has a purchase price of $167,900. The automatic machine has an estimated useful life of 5 years and no significant residual value. For use in evaluating the proposal, the accountant accumulated the following annual data on present and proposed operations:

  Present
Operations
  Proposed
Operations
 
Sales $255,800   $255,800  
Direct materials $87,200   $87,200  
Direct labor 60,500    
Power and maintenance 5,600   29,900  
Taxes, insurance, etc. 2,000   6,700  
Selling and administrative expenses 60,500   60,500  
Total expenses $215,800   $184,300  

a.  Prepare a differential analysis dated May 4 to determine whether to Continue with Old Machine (Alternative 1) or Replace Old Machine (Alternative 2). Prepare the analysis over the useful life of the new machine. If an amount is zero, enter "0". For those boxes in which you must enter subtracted or negative numbers use a minus sign.
