Question
Two years ago, Toshiba Electronics made a $15 million investment in new
assembly line machinery. It purchased approximately 200 units at $70,000 each and placed them in plants in 10 different countries. The equipment sorts, tests, and performs insertion-order kitting on electronic components in preparation for special-purpose printed circuit boards. A new international industry standard requires a $16,000 additional cost next year (year 1 of retention) on each unit in addition to the expected operating cost. Due to the new standards, coupled with rapidly changing technology, a new system is challenging these 2-year-old machines. The chief engineer at Toshiba USA has asked that a replacement study be performed this year and each year in the future, if need be. At i = 10% and with the estimates below, do the following:
a. Determine the AW values and economic service lives necessary to perform the replacement study. Challenger: First cost: $50,000
Future market values: decreasing by 20% per year Estimated retention period: no more than 3 more years AOC estimates: $4000 next year, increasing by $4000 per year thereafter, plus the extra $16,000 next year
b. Perform the replacement study now.
c. After 1 year, it is time to perform the follow-up analysis. The challenger is
making large inroads into the market for electronic components assembly
equipment, especially with the new international standards features built in.
The expected market value for the defender is still $12,000 this year, but it
is expected to drop to virtually nothing in the future—$2000 next year on
the worldwide market and zero after that. Also, this prematurely outdated
equipment is more costly to keep serviced, so the estimated AOC next year
has been increased from $8000 to $12,000 and to $16,000 two years out.
Perform the follow-up replacement study analysis.

- Precision Dyes wants to supply 100,000 bottles of a specialized industrial color to its customer per year, who wants to pay $250 per bottle. The contract will last for 4 years. It will cost Precision $6 million to install the necessary equipment to start production. The equipment can be depreciated using the 5-year MACRS method (20%, 32%, 19.20%, 11.52%, 11.52%, 5.76%). Precision estimates that in four years, this equipment can be salvaged for $200,000. The fixed production costs will be $4 million per year, and the variable production costs should be $150 per bottle. Precision also needs an initial investment in net working capital of $600,000, all of which will be recovered when the project ends. The tax rate is 22 percent and Precision requires a return of 12 percent. Should Precision go forward with this deal? Why?

Construction involves a cash outlay of $270,000 at the end of each of the next two years. At the end of the third year, the company will receive payment of $620,000. The company can speed up construction by working an extra shift. In this case, there will be a cash outlay of $584,000 at the end of the first year followed by a cash payment of $620,000 at the end of the second year. Use the IRR rule to show the (approximate) range of opportunity costs of capital at which the company should work the extra shift. Note: Enter your answers as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.

- Thanks to acquisition of a key patent, your company now has exclusive production rights for barkelgassers (BGs) in North America. Production facilities for 245,000 BGs per year will require a $25.9 million immediate capital expenditure. Production costs are estimated at $74 per BG. The BG marketing manager is confident that all 245,000 units can be sold for $109 per unit (in real terms) until the patent runs out five years hence. After that, the marketing manager hasn’t a clue about what the selling price will be. Assume the real cost of capital is 10%. To keep things simple, also make the following assumptions: The technology for making BGs will not change. Capital and production costs will stay the same in real terms. Competitors know the technology and can enter as soon as the patent expires, that is, they can construct new plants in year 5 and start selling BGs in year 6. If your company invests immediately, full production begins after 12 months, that is, in year 1.
