Macintosh Printing, Inc., purchased a $20,000 printing machine two years ago. The company expected this machine to have a seven-year life and a salvage value of $5,000. The company spent $5,000 last year on repairs, and current operating costs are running at the rate of $8,000 per year. Furthermore, the anticipated salvage value of the machine has been reduced to $2,500 at the end of its useful life. In addition, the company has found that the machine has a current market value of $10,000. A sales person offers a new printing machine for $18,000 with a useful life of 5 years. This new printer has no salvage value. The maintenance expenses of the new printer is $6,000 annually. The company’s MARR is 12%. a) Using Insider’s point of view, analyze if the replacement needs to be made. b) If the useful life of the new machine is 6 years, conduct the replacement analysis. Has the decision changed from the previous scenario? Justify.
