The Knitting Bee will cost $65.000 and will also generate annual profits of $10,000 but has an expected life of ten years. The salvage value of both machines at the end of their expected lifetimes is estimated at $6,000 each. If both machines meet Wooltech's needs, which machine should they purchase if their required annual compounded rate of return is 10%? What is the economic advantage, in current dollars, of the preferred machine? Multiple Choice Super X has $229.18 advantage O Super X has $2.582.93 advantage O Super X has $2.153.98 advantage Krtting Bee has $319.1 advantage Knitting Bee has $3286 advantage

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 $22,000. It will last 10 years with annual maintenance costs of $800 per year. After 10 years the machine can be sold for $2,310. Machine B could be purchased for $20,000. It also will last 10 years and will require maintenance costs of $3,200 in year three, $4,000 in year six, and $4,800 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: Negative amounts should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round…
Culver Industries is considering the purchase of new equipment costing $1,500,000 to replace existing equipment that will be sold for $100,000. The new equipment is expected to have a $210,000 salvage value at the end of its 5-year life. During the period of its use, the equipment will allow the company to produce and sell an additional 25,000 units annually at a sales price of $44 per unit. Those units will have a variable cost of $22 per unit. The company will also incur an additional $80,000 in annual fixed costs.Click here to view the factor table.(a) Calculate the net present value of the proposed equipment purchase. Assume that Culver uses a 10% discount rate. (For calculation purposes, use 4 decimal places as displayed in the factor table provided and round final answer to 0 decimal place, e.g. 58,971. Enter negative amount using a negative sign preceding the number e.g. -59,992 or parentheses e.g. (59,992).) Net present value $enter the net present value in dollars…
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…
Tanaka Machine Shop is considering a four-year project to improve its production efficiency. Buying a new machine press for $397,000 is estimated to result in $145,000 in annual pretax cost savings. The press qualifies for 100 percent bonus depreciation and it will have a salvage value at the end of the project of $46,000. The press also requires an initial investment in spare parts inventory of $15,100, along with an additional $2,100 in inventory for each succeeding year of the project. The shop's tax rate is 21 percent and its discount rate is 8 percent. Calculate the project's NPV. Note: Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.

Alliance Manufacturing Company is considering the purchase of a new automated drill press to replace an older one. The machine now in operation has a book value of zero and a salvage value of zero. However, it is in good working condition with an expected life of 10 additional years. The new drill press is more efficient than the existing one and, if installed, will provide an estimated cost savings (in labor, materials, and maintenance) of $6,000 per year. The new machine costs $25,000 delivered and installed. It has an estimated useful life of 10 years and a salvage value of $1,000 at the end of this period. The firm’s cost of capital is 14 percent, and its marginal income tax rate is 40 percent. The firm uses the straight-line depreciation method.a. What is the net cash flow in year 0 (i.e., initial outlay)?b. What are the net cash flows after taxes in each of the next 10 years?c. What is the NPV of the investment?d. Should Alliance replace its existing drill press?

RealTurf is considering purchasing an automatic sprinkler system for its sod farm by borrowing the entire $30,000 purchase price. The loan would be repaid with four equal annual payments at an interest rate of 12%/year. It is anticipated that the sprinkler system would be used for 9 years and then sold for a salvage value of $2,000. Annual operating and maintenance expenses for the system over the 9-year life are estimated to be $9,000 per year. If the new system is purchased, cost savings of $15,000 per year will be realized over the present manual watering system. RealTurf uses a MARR of 15%/year for economic decision making. Based on a present worth analysis, is the purchase of the new sprinkler system economically attractive?
