Question
Duluth Medico purchased a digital imageprocessing machine three years ago at a cost of
$50,000. The machine had an expected life of eight
years at the time of purchase and an expected salvage
value of $5,000 at the end of the eight years. The
old machine has been slow at handling the increased
business volume, so management is considering
replacing the machine. A new machine can be purchased for $75,000, including installation costs.
Over its five-year life, the machine will reduce cash
operating expenses by $30,000 per year. Sales are
not expected to change. At the end of its useful life,the machine is estimated to be worthless. The old
machine can be sold today for $10,000. The firm’s
interest rate for project justification is known to be
15%. The firm does not expect a better machine
(other than the current challenger) to be available for
the next five years. Assuming that the economic service life of the new machine, as well as the remaining
useful life of the old machine, is five years,
(a) Determine the cash flows associated with each
option (keeping the defender versus purchasing
the challenger).
(b) Should the company replace the defender now?

- Fisher Ferry Company operates a high speed passenger ferry service across the Mississippi River. One of its ferryboats is in poor condition. This ferry can be renovated at an immediate cost of $ 200,000. Further repairs and an overhaul of the motor will be needed five years from now at a cost of $ 100,000. In all, the ferry will be usable for 10 years if this work is done. At the end of 10 years, the ferry will have to be scrapped at a value of $ 60,000. The scrap value of the ferry right now is $ 70,000. It will cost $ 300,000 yearly to operate the ferry, and revenues will total $ 400,000 annually. As an alternative, Fisher Ferry Company can purchase a new ferryboat at a cost of $ 720,000. If the company decides to purchase the new one, the old one will be sold right away. The new ferry will have a life of 10 years, but it will require some repairs costing $ 30,000 at the end of five years. At the end of 10 years, the ferry will have a scrap value of $ 60,000. It will cost $ 210,000…arrow_forwardBuiltrite is considering purchasing a new machine that would cost $60,000 and the machine would be depreciated (straight line) down to $0 over its five-year life. At the end of four years, it is believed that the machine could be sold for $30,000. The current machine being used was purchased 3 years ago at a cost of $40,000 and it is being depreciated down to zero over its 5-year life. The current machine's salvage value now is $12,000.

- DuPree Coffee Roasters, Inc., wishes to expand and modernize its facilities. The installed cost of a proposed computer-controlled automatic-feed roaster will be $135,000. The firm has a chance to sell its 5-year-old roaster for $34,000. The existing roaster originally cost $60,500 and was being depreciated using MACRS and a 7-year recovery period (see the table attached). DuPree is subject to a 21% tax rate. a. What is the book value of the existing roaster? b. Calculate the after-tax proceeds of the sale of the existing roaster. c. Calculate the change in net working capital using the following figures: Anticipated Changes in Current Assets and Current Liabilities Accruals −$19,500 Inventory +50,000 Accounts payable +40,900 Accounts receivable +70,200 Cash 0 Notes payable +14,400arrow_forwardThe Bigbee Bottling Company is contemplating the replacement of one of its bottling machines with a newer and more efficient one. The old machine has a book value of $550,000 and a remaining useful life of 5 years. The firm does not expect to realize any return from scrapping the old machine in 5 years, but it can sell it now to another firm in the industry for $250,000. The old machine is being depreciated by $110,000 per year, using the straight-line method. The new machine has a purchase price of $1,100,000, an estimated useful life and MACRS class life of 5 years, and an estimated salvage value of $160,000. The applicable depreciation rates are 20%, 32%, 19%, 12%, 11%, and 6%. It is expected to economize on electric power usage, labor, and repair costs, as well as to reduce the number of defective bottles. In total, an annual savings of $245,000 will be realized if the new machine is installed. The company's marginal tax rate is 35%, and it has a 12% WACC. a.

It had an expected life of 10 years when it was bought and its remaining depreciation is $6,500 per year for each year of its remaining life. As older flange-lippers are robust and useful machines, this one can be sold for $20,000 at the end of its useful life. A new high-efficiency digital-controlled flange-lipper can be purchased for $110,000, including installation costs. During its 5-year life, it will reduce cash operating expenses by $35,000 per year, although it will not affect sales. At the end of its useful life, the high-efficiency machine is estimated to be worthless. MACRS depreciation will be used, and the machine will be depreciated over its 3-year class life rather than its 5-year economic life, so the applicable depreciation rates are 33.33%, 44.45%, 14.81%, and 7.41%. The old machine can be sold today for $45,000. The firm's tax rate is 25%, and the appropriate cost of capital…arrow_forward
- A critical machine in BHP Billiton's copper refining operation was purchased 7 years ago for $160,000. Last year a replacement study was performed with the decision to retain it for 3 more years. The situation has changed. The equipment is estimated to have a value of $8000 if "scavenged" for parts now or anytime in the future. If kept in service, it can be minimally upgraded at a cost of $43,000 to make it usable for up to 2 more years. Its operating cost is estimated at $22,000 in the first year and $29,000 in the second year. Alternatively, the company can purchase a new system, the challenger, that will have an AWC of $-51,000 over its ESL. Use a MARR of 10% per year and annual worth analysis to determine when the company should replace the machine.

At that time, it was expected to be used for 10 years and then traded in for its salvage value of $10,000. Due to increased construction activities, the company would prefer to trade for a new, larger crane now, which will cost $80,000. The company estimates that the old crane can be used, if necessary, for another 3 years, at which time it would have a $17,000 estimated market value. Its current market value is estimated to be $29,000, and if it is used for another 3 years, it will have M&O costs (exclusive of operator costs) of $17,000 per year. Determine the values of P, n, S, and AOC that should be used for the existing crane in a replacement analysis. The value of P is $ . The value of n is years. The value of S is $ . The AOC value is $ per year.arrow_forwardXYZ Manufacturing Corporation currently has production equipment that has 4 years ofremaining life. The equipment was purchased a year ago at a cost of $10,000. The annual depreciation for this machine is $1,800 and its expected salvage value is $1,000. The equipment can be sold today for $8,000. The company has been considering the purchase of a new machine that will replace the existing one. The new equipment costs $15,000 and would increase sales (through increased production) by $2,000 per year and decrease operating costs by $1,000 per year. The equipment will be worthless after 4 years. The applicable depreciation rates are 0.33, 0.45, 0.15, and 0.07. The company's tax rate is 40 percent and its cost of capital is 12 percent.

- A remotely located air sampling station can be powered by solar cells or by running an above ground electric line to the site and using conventional power. Solar cells will cost $17,200 to install and will have a useful life of 5 years with no salvage value. Annual costs for inspection, cleaning, and other maintenance issues are expected to be $2,000. A new power line will cost $25,500 to install, with power costs expected to be $1,000 per year. Since the air sampling project will end in 5 years, the salvage value of the line is considered to be zero. At an interest rate of 10% per year and using an AW analysis, what must be the first cost of the above ground line to make the two alternatives equally attractive economically?
