Question 8 Milliken uses a digitally controlled dyer for placing intricate patterns on manufactured carpet squares for home and commercial use. It is purchased for $400,000. Its market value will be $310,000 at the end of the 1st year and drop by $46,000 per year thereafter to a minimum of $30,000. Operating costs are $20,000 the 1st year, increasing by 8% per year. Maintenance costs are only $8,000 the 1st year but will increase by 35% each year thereafter. Milliken's MARR is 20%. Determine the optimum replacement interval for the dyer. Year(s)

New-Project Analysis The Campbell Company is considering adding a robotic paint sprayer to its production line. The sprayer's base price is $850,000, and it would cost another $23,500 to install it. The machine falls into the MACRS 3-year class, and it would be sold after 3 years for $568,000. The MACRS rates for the first three years are 0.3333, 0.4445, and 0.1481. The machine would require an increase in networking capital (inventory) of $14,500. The sprayer would not change revenues, but it is expected to save the firm $368,000 per year in before-tax operating costs, mainly labor. Campbell's marginal tax rate is 25%.
