Hayden Inc. has a number of copiers that were bought four years ago for $30,000. Currently maintenance costs $3,000 a year, but the maintenance agreement expires at the end of two years, and thereafter, the annual maintenance charge will rise to $9,000. The machines have a current resale value of $9,000, but at the end of year 2, their value will have fallen to $4,500. By the end of year 6, the machines will be valueless and would be scrapped.Hayden is considering replacing the copiers with new machines that would do essentially the same job. These machines cost $25,000, and the company can take out an eight-year maintenance contract for $1,800 a year. The machines would have no value by the end of the eight years and would be scrapped.Both machines are depreciated using seven-year straight-line depreciation, and the tax rate is 40%. Assume for simplicity that the inflation rate is zero. The real cost of capital is 7%.a. Calculate the equivalent annual cost, if the copiers are: (i)…

A company is considering replacing a machine (defender) that was boughtsix years ago for $50,000 and has now malfunctioned. The machine can be repaired toextend its life by Öve more years. If repaired, the machine will require an operating costof $10,000 per year. If it is replaced, the new machine (challenger) will cost $44,000, willlast for six years, and will have operating expenses of $5,000 per year. The challengerwill have zero salvage value at the end of its six year life. The malfunctioned defendercan be sold at a current market value of $15,000. If MARR is 12% per year, what isthe maximum amount that the company should spend to repair the existing machineinstead of switching to the challenger? Use the outsider viewpoint method. (Note: Allvalues are before taxes, not tax calculations are necessary). please dont use excell

Coast-to-Coast Inc. is considering the purchase of an additional delivery vehicle for $70,000 onJanuary 1, 20Y1. The truck is expected to have a five-year life with an expected residual valueof $15,000 at the end of five years. The expected additional revenues from the added deliverycapacity are anticipated to be $65,000 per year for each of the next five years. A driver will cost$40,000 in 20Y1, with an expected annual salary increase of $2,000 for each year thereafter. The annual operating costs for the truck are estimated to be $6,000 per year.a. Determine the expected annual net cash flows from the delivery truck investment for 20Y1–20Y5.b. Compute the net present value of the investment, assuming that the minimum desired rate of returnis 12%. Use the present value table appearing in Exhibit 2 of this chapter.c. Is the additional truck a good investment based on your analysis? Explain.

Machine A was purchased last year for $20,000 and had an estimated MV of $2,000 at the end of its six-year life. Annual operating costs are $2,000. The machine will perform satisfactorily over the next five years. A salesperson for another company is offering a replacement, Machine B, for $14,000, with an MV of $1,400 after five years. Annual operating costs for Machine B will only be $1,400. A trade-in allowance of $10,400 has been offered for Machine A. If the before-tax MARR is 12% per year, should you buy the new machine? Solve, (a) No, continue with Machine A. (b) Yes, purchase Machine B.

A company sells Gizmos to consumers at a price of $117 per unit. The cost to produce Gizmos is $27 per unit. The company will sell 15,000 Gizmos to consumers each year. The fixed costs incurred each year will be $190,000. There is an initial investment to produce the goods $3,400,000 which will be depreciated straight line over the 10-year life of the investment to a salvage value of $0. The opportunity cost of capital is 6% and the tax rate is 34%. What is the operating cash flow each year?

Grouper Growth Farms, a farming cooperative, is considering purchasing a tractor for $559,050. The machine has a 10-year life and an estimated salvage value of $43,000. Delivery costs and set-up charges will be $12,800 and $410, respectively. Grouper Growth uses straight-line depreciation and has a required rate of return of 9%. Grouper Growth estimates that the tractor will be used five times a week with the average charge to the individual farmers of $410. Fuel is $55 for each use of the tractor.
