Question
**FIN 6020 v20f**

**Taylor Toy Corp Ch 11 (11-9)**

Taylor Toy Corp. is considering the replacement of its injection molding machine. It is 2 years old but new technology has it considering the newest model.

- The old (current) machine was acquired 2 years ago and is being depreciated on a straight line basis over 8 years (6 years remaining). The annual depreciation expense is $350 per year, and its current book value is $2,100. It can be sold for $2,500 today. If the machine is not replaced, it is expected to be sold for $500 at the end of its remaining life (6 years).

- The new, replacement machine will cost $8,000. It is expected to be used for 6 years, and is expected to be sold for $800 then. It will be depreciated using MACRS (5-year class with ½ year convention).

- The new machine is expected to support an increase in sales by $1,000 per year, and with its improved electrical efficiency, it should reduce operating expenses by $1,500 per year.

- Inventories will need to increase by $2,000 and Account payable will increase by $500.

- The company’s tax rate is 40%.

- Taylor Toy’s Cost of Capital is 15%, which is the appropriate Hurdle Rate for this project.

Using a blank workbook (not a template …), evaluate this project:

a. Present the cash flows  
b. Calculate the evaluation measures.  
c. Should Taylor Toy Corp replace the machine?
