DJDC Machinery has been making a part for its industrial rotary gear shaving machine. The engineers are asked to investigate alternative ways of obtaining the part, as the unit cost for the part currently is not competitive in the marketplace. DJDC needs 25,000 parts per year for the next three years. At that point, any capital equipment could be sold. DJDC tax rate is 40%, and its interest rate is 12%.
• Option A: Continue to produce the part with the old machine. The machine has been fully depreciated. The current machine could be sold for $6,000 in three years. Making the part with the old machine involves the following: Variable costs for the part are $4 for direct materials, $3 for direct labor, and $2 for variable manufacturing overhead.
• Option B: Purchase the part from outside for $13 per part, including shipping.
• Option C: Replace the old machine with the new model. The newer model would cost $55,000 and would depreciate. The new machine, if purchased, could be sold for $15,000 in three years. It would cut direct labor costs to $1.50 per unit and variable costs to $0.75 per part. If the new model is acquired, the old machine would be sold for $25,000.
When Option B is compared with Option C, determine the break-even outsourcing cost per unit.

- A chemical company is considering buying a magic fan for its plant. Th e magic fan is expected to work forever and help cool the machines in the plant and, hence, reduce their maintenance costs by $6,000 per year. Th e cost of the fan is $50,000. Th e appropriate discount rate is 10 percent, and the marginal tax rate is 35 percent. Should the company buy the magic fanThe X Company is considering purchasing a business machine for $100,000. An alternative is to rent it for $35,000 at the beginning of each year. The rental would include all repairs and services. If the machine is purchased, a comparable repair and service contract can be obtainedfor $1,000 per year. The salesperson of the business machine firm has indicated that the expected useful service life of this machine is five years, with zero market value, but the company is not sure how long the machine will be needed. If the machine is rented, the company can cancel the lease at the end of any year. Assuming an income tax rate of 25%, a straight-line depreciation charge of $20,000 for each year the machine is kept, and an after-tax MARR of 10%, prepare an appropriate analysis to help the firm decide whether it is more desirable to purchase or rent.Your company is trying to decide whether it should purchase a copier from Xerox or lease it. The copier has an expected life of 6 years, after which it has only marginal value (you can ignore any residual value). If you purchase it, the price is $145,000, payable now, and you would have to pay an annual service charge of $8,000. If you lease it, you would have an annual payment of $36,000 each year (for 6 years), which includes service. The lease payment and the annual service charge occur at the beginning of each year. The interest rate is 3.8%. Which option is least costly?
- K Beryl's Iced Tea currently rents a bottling machine for $53,000 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 $20,000 per year in ongoing maintenance expenses. b. Purchase a new, more advanced machine for $255,000. This machine will require $17,000 per year in ongoing maintenance expenses and will lower bottling costs by $12,000 per year. Also, $36,000 will be spent upfront training the new operators of the machine. Suppose the appropriate discount rate is 9% 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 10-year life with a negligible salvage value. The corporate tax rate is 30%. Should Beryl's Iced Tea…ces Esquire Company needs to acquire a molding machine to be used in its manufacturing process. Two types of machines that would be appropriate are presently on the market. The company has determined the following: Machine A could be purchased for $69,000. It will last 10 years with annual maintenance costs of $2,200 per year. After 10 years the machine can be sold for $7,245. Machine B could be purchased for $57,500. It also will last 10 years and will require maintenance costs of $8,800 in year three, $11,000 in year six, and $13,200 in year eight. After 10 years, the machine will have no salvage value. Required: Assume an interest rate of 8% properly reflects the time value of money in this situation and that maintenance costs are paid at the end of each year. Ignore income tax considerations. Calculate the present value of Machine A & Machine B. Which machine Esquire should purchase? Note: Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your final answers to nearest whole dollar…An existing robot can be kept if $2,000 is spent now to upgrade it for future service requirements. Alternatively, the company can purchase a new robot to replace the old robot. The following estimates have been developed for both the defender and the challenger. The company's before-tax MARR is 15% per year. Based on this information, should the existing robot be replaced right now? Assume the robot will be needed for an indefinite period of time. Defender Challenger Current MV $37,000 Purchase price $55,000 Required upgrade $2,000 Installation cost $6,000 Annual expenses $1,600 Annual expenses $1,100 Remaining useful life 5 years Useful life 9 years MV at end of useful life −$1,600 MV at end of useful life $6000 The AW value of the defender is The AW value of the challenger is
- Your company is considering an expansion into a new product area. The company has collected the following information about the proposed product. (Note: You may or may not need to use all of this information, use only the information that is relevant.) The project has an anticipated economic life of 5 years. The company will have to purchase a new machine to produce the product. The machine has an up-front cost (T = 0) of $750,000. The machine will be depreciated on a straight-line basis over 5 years (that is, the company's depreciation expense will be $150,000 in each of the first five years (T = 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5). The company anticipates that the machine will last for at least five years, and that after five years, its before-tax salvage value will equal $100,000. If the company goes ahead with the project, it will have an effect on the company's net working capital. At the outset, T = 0, inventory will increase by $50,000 and accounts payable will increase by $30,000. At T =…You have been asked to evaluate two alternatives, X and Y, that may increase plant capacity for manufacturing high-pressure hydraulic hoses.

- Esquire Company needs to acquire a molding machine to be used in its manufacturing process. Two types of machines that would be appropriate are presently on the market. The company has determined the following: Machine A could be purchased for $48,000. It will last 10 years with annual maintenance costs of $1,000 per year. After 10 years the machine can be sold for $5,000. Machine B could be purchased for $40,000.
