Teagyn corp. produces PITAs and has a choice of upgrading or replacing a piece of
equipment. The upgrade would cost $25M and have an operating cost per unit of
$62,000. Replacing the equipment would cost $39M and would reduce operating
costs per unit from the upgrade estimate by 10%. Replacing would also allow the
current machine to be sold for $3M now. Regardless of the choice, Teagyn forecasts
sales of 460 units at $80,000 per unit and expects unit sales to grow at 10% per year
over the next four years (five years in total, selling price and costs would remain the
same). Use a WACC of 12% and to compare these choices.
What would the salvage (resale) value of the old machine be to change the decision
on an NPV basis? Please consider the changes in steps of $100,000 (i.e. $1,100,000
to $1,200,000). Please enter your response with no units or commas and 1 decimal
place in millions: "$2,110,000" would be "2.1" (note: NO units and use 5/4 rounding).

- New-Project Analysis The Campbell Company is considering adding a robotic paint sprayer to its production line. The sprayer’s base price is $1,080,000, and it would cost another $22,500 to install it. The machine falls into the MACRS 3-year class, and it would be sold after 3 years for $605,000. The MACRS rates for the first 3 years are 0.3333, 0.4445, and 0.1481. The machine would require an increase in net working capital (inventory) of $15,500. The sprayer would not change revenues, but it is expected to save the firm $380,000 per year in before-tax operating costs, mainly labor. Campbell’s marginal tax rate is 35%. What is the Year-0 cash flow? What are the net operating cash flows in Years 1, 2, and 3? What is the additional Year-3 cash flow (i.e., the after-tax salvage and the return of working capital)? If the project’s cost of capital is 12%, should the machine be purchased?arrow_forwardPlease do not give salutations in image format thankuharrow_forwardApplying Differential Analysis to Equipment Replacement Decision TaylorMade - Adidas Golf Company a subsidiary of Adidas, manufactures golf clubs using "adjustable weight technology" or AWT. Suppose a European machine company has proposed to sell TaylorMade a new highly automated machine that would reduce significantly the labor cost of producing its golf clubs. The cost of the machine is $ 7,800,000, and would have an expected life of six years, at the end of which it would have a residual value of 10% of its original cost. The machine has an estimated operating cost of $39,000 per month. The direct labor cost savings per club from using the machine is estimated to be $16 per club, per month. In addition, other fixed overhead costs of $20,800 per month would be eliminated if the new machine is purchased. Also, the new machine would free up about 13,000 square feet of space from the displaced workers. Assume TaylorMade's building is held under a 10-year lease that has eight years…arrow_forward
