Required information
[The following information applies to the questions displayed below.]
Kate's Candy Corporation makes chewy chocolate candies at a plant in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Steve
Bishop, the production manager at this facility, installed a packaging machine last year at a cost of $550,000. This
machine is expected to last for 10 more years with no residual value. Operating costs for the projected levels of
production, before depreciation, are $110,000 annually.
Steve has just learned of a new packaging machine that would work much more efficiently in the production line.
This machine would cost $638,000 installed, but the annual operating costs would be only $44,000 before
depreciation. This machine would be depreciated over 10 years with no residual value. He could sell the current
packaging machine this year for $275,000.
Steve has worked for Kate's Candy for 7 years. He plans to remain with the firm for about 2 more years, when he
expects to become a vice president of operations at his father-in-law's company. Kate's Candy pays Steve a fixed
salary with an annual bonus of 5% of net income for the year.
Assume that Kate's Candy uses straight-line depreciation and has a 10% required rate of return. Ignore income tax
effects.
Required:
1. What is the estimated net present value of purchasing the new machine? (Do not round intermediate calculation. Round your
answers to the nearest whole dollar amount.)
2. How much would Steve Bishop's compensation be increased or decreased by the investment? (Negative amounts should be
indicated by a minus sign.)
1. Net present value of new machine investment
