Wendell's Donut Shoppe is investigating the purchase of a new $37,700 donut-making machine. The new machine would permit the company to reduce the amount of part-time help needed, at a cost savings of $6,600 per year. In addition, the new machine would allow the company to produce one new style of donut, resulting in the sale of 1,500 dozen more donuts each year. The company realizes a contribution margin of $2.00 per dozen donuts sold. The new machine would have a six-year useful life. Required: 1. What would be the total annual cash inflows associated with the new machine for capital budgeting purposes? 2. What is the new machine's internal rate of return? Note: Round your final answer to the nearest whole percentage. 3. In addition to the data given previously, assume that the machine will have a $14,130 salvage value at the end of six years. Under these conditions, what is the internal rate of return? Note: Round your final answer to the nearest whole percentage. 1. Annual cash inflows 2 Internal rate of return

The engineering team at Manuel’s Manufacturing, Inc., is planning to purchase an enterprise resource planning (ERP) system.

The software and installation from Vendor B costs $280,000 and is expected to increase revenue $95,000 per year. Manuel’s uses a 4-year planning horizon and a 10% per year MARR. What is the annual worth of each investment?Vendor A: $enter a dollar amount rounded to the nearest dollar Vendor B: $enter a dollar amount rounded to the nearest dollar

Beryl's Iced Tea currently rents a bottling machine for $54,000 per year, including all maintenance expenses. It is considering purchasing a machine instead, and is comparing two options: a. Purchase the machine it is currently renting for $155,000. This machine will require $24,000 per year in ongoing maintenance expenses. b. Purchase a new, more advanced machine for $260,000. This machine will require $19,000 per year in ongoing maintenance expenses and will lower bottling costs by $13,000 per year. Also, $35,000 will be spent upfront training the new operators of the machine. Suppose the appropriate discount rate is 8% per year and the machine is purchased today. Maintenance and bottling costs are paid at the end of each year, as is the rental of the machine. Assume also that the machines will be depreciated via the straight-line method over seven years and that they have a ten-year life with a negligible salvage value. The corporate tax rate is 20%. Should Beryl's Iced Tea continue…

The Hub Store at a university in eastern Canada is considering purchasing a self-serve checkout machine similar to those used in many grocery stores and other retail outlets. Currently the university pays part-time wages to students totalling $58,000 per year. A self-serve checkout machine would reduce part-time student wages by $38,000 per year. The machine would cost $300,000 and has a 10-year useful life. Total costs of operating the checkout machine would be $5,600 per year, including maintenance. Major maintenance would be needed on the machine in five years at a total cost of $10,600. The salvage value of the checkout machine in 10 years would be $43,000. The CCA rate is 25%. Management requires a 10% after-tax return on all equipment purchases. The company's tax rate is 30%. Required: 1. Determine the before-tax net annual cost savings that the new checkout machine will provide. Net annual cost savings Net present value $ *********** 2-a. Using the data from (1) above and other…

As a result of improvements in product engineering, United Automation is able to sell one of its two milling machines. Both machines perform the same function but differ in age. The newer machine could be sold today for $50,000. Its operating costs are $20,000 a year, but in five years the machine will require a $20,000 overhaul. Thereafter, operating costs will be $30,000 until the machine is finally sold in year 10 for $5,000. The older machine could be sold today for $25,000. If it is kept, it will need an immediate $20,000 overhaul. Thereafter, operating costs will be $30,000 a year until the machine is finally sold in year 5 for $5,000. Both machines are fully depreciated for tax purposes. The company pays tax at 35%. Cash flows have been forecasted in real terms. The real cost of capital is 12%. Which machine should United Automation sell? Explain the assumptions underlying your answer.

A company is considering replacing a machine used in the manufacturing process with a new, more efficient model. The purchase price of the new machine is $150,000 and the old machine can be sold for $100,000. Output for the two machines is identical; they will both be used to produce the same amount of product for five years. However, the annual operating costs of the old machine are $18,000 compared to $10,000 for the new machine. Also, the new machine has a salvage value of $25,000, but the old machine will be worthless at the end of the five years. You are deciding whether the company should sell the old machine and purchase the new model. You have determined that an 8% rate properly reflects the time value of money in this situation and that all operating costs are paid at the end of the year. For this initial comparison you ignore the effect of the decision on income taxes. Required: What is the incremental cash outflow required to acquire the new machine? What is the present…
