iSooky has a spotter truck with a book value of $59,000 and a remaining useful life of 5 years. At the end of the five years the spotter truck will have a zero salvage value. The market value of the spotter truck is currently $41,500. iSooky can purchase a new spotter truck for $139,000 and receive $32,900 in return for trading in its old spotter truck. The new spotter truck will reduce variable manufacturing costs by $26,900 per year over the five- year life of the new spotter truck. The total increase or decrease in income by replacing the current spotter truck with the new truck (ignoring the time value of money) is: Multiple Choice O $28,400 decrease $32,900 decrease $139,000 decrease $32.900 increase $28,400 increase

Geary Machine Shop is considering a 4-year project to improve its production efficiency. Buying a new machine press for $576,036 is estimated to result in $255,756 in annual pretax cost savings. The press falls in the MACRS five-year class (Refer to the MACRS table on page 277), and it will have a salvage value at the end of the project of $106,549. The press also requires an initial investment in spare parts inventory of $73,540, along with an additional $7,848 in inventory for each succeeding year of the project. If the shop's tax rate is 0.26 and its discount rate is 0.09, what is the total cash flow in year 4? (Do not round your intermediate calculations.) (Make sure you enter the number with the appropriate +/- sign)
You purchased a box-making machine that cost $50,000 five years ago At that time, the system was estimated to have a service life of five years with salvage value of $5,000. These estimates are still good. The property has been depreciated at a declining balance CCA rate of 30%. Now (at the end of year 5 from pur chase) you are considering selling the machine for $10,000. What UCC should you use in determining the disposal tax effect?
A firm owns a drilling equipment that it is contemplating replacing. It is believed that P1,500,000 could be obtained for the old equipment if it were sold now, but it can be productively used for four more years at which time its market value will be zero. The equipment has an operating and maintenance of P600,000 per year. The firm can purchase a new machine, with the same functionality as the current machine, for P5,500,000. In four years the market value of the new machine is estimated to be P2,275,000. Annual operating and maintenance costs will be P1,850,000 per year. Should the old drilling equipment be replaced using a before-tax MARR of 15% and a study period of four years?
Lumberjack Power, operator of a nuclear power plant, is planning to replace its current equipment with some that is more environmentally friendly. The old equipment has annual operating expenses of $6750 and can be kept for 8 more years. The equipment will have a salvage value of $4000, if sold 8 years from now, and has a current market value of $24,000, if it is sold now. The new equipment has an initial cost of $62,000 and has estimated annual operating expenses of $6250 each year. The estimated market value of the new equipment is $19,000 after 8 years of operation. If the company's MARR is 16% per year, should the equipment be replaced? Use a study period of 8 years and the present worth method.
GiGi Industries must replace its magnesium purification system. Quick & Dirty Systems sells a relatively cheap purification system for $10 million. The system will last 6 years. Do-It-Right sells a sturdier but more expensive system for $12 million; it will last for 8 years. The cheaper system will require $1.1 million in operating costs per year which is 10% higher than the more expensive system. Both will be depreciated straight-line to a final value of zero over their useful lives; neither will have any salvage value at the end of its life. The firm’s tax rate is 30 percent and the discount rate is 11 percent. Which system should GiGi install?
Fluid Dynamics Company owns a pump that it is contemplating replacing. The old pump has annual operating and maintenance costs of $8,000/year: it can be kept for 4 years more and will have a zero salvage value at that time. The old pump can be traded in on a new pump. The trade-in value is $4,000. The new pump will cost $18,000 and have a value of $9,000 in 4 years and will have annual operating and maintenance costs of$4,500/ year. Using a MARR of 10%, evaluate the investment alternative based upon the present worth method and a planning horizon of 4 years. Solve,a. Use the cash flow approach. b. Use the opportunity cost approach.
Bisha Corporation is considering trading a truck with a book value of SAR 52,000 with an estimated five-year life for a new truck that would cost SAR 80,000. The old truck could be sold for SAR 55,000. The new truck has a five-year life with no residual value. The new truck would reduce annual operating costs by SAR 4,300 per year. Prepare a differential analysis on whether to continue with the old machine (Alternative 1) or purchase the new machine (Alternative 2).
Kiddy Toy Corporation needs to acquire the use of a machine to be used in its manufacturing process. The machine needed is manufactured by Lollie Corp. The machine can be used for 10 years and then sold for $10,000 at the end of its useful life. Lollie has presented Kiddy with the following options: 1. Buy machine. The machine could be purchased for $160,000 in cash. All maintenance and insurance costs, which approximate $5,000 per year, would be paid by Kiddy. 2. Lease machine. The machine could be leased for a 10-year period for an annual lease payment of $25,000 with the first payment due immediately. All maintenance and insurance costs will be paid for by the Lollie Corp. and the machine will revert back to Lollie at the end of the 10-year period. Required: Assuming that a 12% interest rate properly reflects the time value of money in this situation and that all maintenance and insurance costs are paid at the end of each year, determine which option Kiddy should choose.

Blooper Industries must replace its magnoosium purification system. Quick & Dirty Systems sells a relatively cheap purification system for $20 million. The system will last 5 years. Do-It-Right sells a sturdier but more expensive system for $21 million; it will last for 6 years.

The Campbell Company is considering adding a robotic paint sprayer to its production line. The sprayer's base price is $1,070,000, and it would cost another $21,500 to install it. The machine falls into the MACRS 3-year class (the applicable MACRS depreciation rates are 33.33%, 44.45%, 14.81%, and 7.41%), and it would be sold after 3 years for $696,000. The machine would require an increase in net working capital (inventory) of $15,000. The sprayer would not change revenues, but it is expected to save the firm $405,000 per year in before-tax operating costs, mainly labor. Campbell's marginal tax rate is 30%. a. What is the Year 0 net cash flow? b. What are the net operating cash flows in Years 1, 2, and 3? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to the nearest dollar. Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 c. What is the additional Year 3 cash flow (i.e, the after-tax salvage and the return of working capital)? Do not round intermediate calculations.
