Disposal of assets. Answer the following questions.
- 1. A company has an inventory of 1,300 assorted parts for a line of missiles that has been discontinued. The inventory cost is $71,000.

- 2. A truck, costing $102,500 and uninsured, is wrecked its first day in use. It can be either (a) disposed of for $14,000 cash and replaced with a similar truck costing $105,500 or (b) rebuilt for $86,000 and thus be brand-new as far as operating characteristics and looks are concerned. Which action is less costly? Show your calculations.

Subject :- Accounting
Assume that a company is choosing between two alternatives—keep an existing machine or replace it with a machine. The costs associated with the two alternatives are summarized as follows:
Existing Machine
New Machine
Purchase cost (new)
$ 15,000
$ 26,000
Remaining book value
$ 6,000
Overhaul needed now
$ 5,000
Annual cash operating costs
$ 11,500
$ 7,000
Salvage value (now)
$ 2,000
Salvage value (eight years from now)
$ 1,000
$ 6,000
If the company overhauls its existing machine, it will be usable for eight more years. If it buys the new machine, it will be used for eight years. Based on a net present value analysis with a discount rate of 14%, what is the financial advantage (disadvantage) of replacing the existing machine with a new machine?
