- The Scampini Supplies Company recently purchased a new delivery truck. The new truck cost $22,500, and it is expected to generate net after-tax operating cash flows, including depreciation, of $6,250 per year. The truck has a 5-year expected life. The expected salvage values after tax adjustments for the truck are given here. The company’s cost of capital is 10%. Should the firm operate the truck until the end of its 5-year physical life? If not, then what is its optimal economic life? Would the introduction of salvage values, in addition to operating cash flows, ever reduce the expected NPV and/or IRR of a project?arrow_forwardDauten is offered a replacement machine which has a cost of 8,000, an estimated useful life of 6 years, and an estimated salvage value of 800. The replacement machine is eligible for 100% bonus depreciation at the time of purchase- The replacement machine would permit an output expansion, so sales would rise by 1,000 per year; even so, the new machines much greater efficiency would cause operating expenses to decline by 1,500 per year The new machine would require that inventories be increased by 2,000, but accounts payable would simultaneously increase by 500. Dautens marginal federal-plus-state tax rate is 25%, and its WACC is 11%. Should it replace the old machine?arrow_forwardAlthough the Chen Company’s milling machine is old, it is still in relatively good working order and would last for another 10 years. It is inefficient compared to modern standards, though, and so the company is considering replacing it. The new milling machine, at a cost of $110,000 delivered and installed, would also last for 10 years and would produce after-tax cash flows (labor savings and depreciation tax savings) of $19,000 per year. It would have zero salvage value at the end of its life. The project cost of capital is 10%, and its marginal tax rate is 25%. Should Chen buy the new machine?arrow_forward
- Overton Clothes Inc. is considering the replacement of its old, fullydepreciated knitting machine. Two new models are available: (a) Machine 171-3, whichhas a cost of $171,000, a 3-year expected life, and after-tax cash flows (labor savings anddepreciation) of $85,000 per year, and (b) Machine 356-6, which has a cost of $356,000, a6-year life, and after-tax cash flows of $102,400 per year. Assume that both projects can berepeated. Knitting machine prices are not expected to rise because inflation will be offsetby cheaper components (microprocessors) used in the machines. Assume that Overton’sWACC is 13%. Using the replacement chain and EAA approaches, which model should beselected? Why?arrow_forwardThe production department of Y Company is planning to purchase a new machine to improve product quality. The company’s management accountant is currently evaluating two options- Buy the machine OR Rent it. The following information is available: The company has to pay £3,200 to set up the machine. Insurance costs £450 per annum. If it is bought, the new machine is depreciated on a reducing balance basis at the rate of 25%. After various calculations, the company has to pay £4,200 maintenance cost every year, and the estimated repair cost would be £300 per year. The firm will have to sell old machines, which had cost £65,000 six years ago. Apart from the above information, the £500 delivery cost is incurred for this purchase option. If it is rented, £ 4,650 per year to pay as rent. There is no cost for repair and maintenance. However, the firm is required to pay the administration charge of £650 with this rent option. For the rent option, the delivery cost remains at 20% of the £ 500…arrow_forwardSampson Corporation is contemplating the purchase of a new high-speed widget grinder to replace the existing grinder. The existing grinder was purchased two years ago at an installed cost of $60,000; it was being depreciated under MACRS, using a five year recovery period. The existing grinder is expected to have a usable life of five more years. The new grinder has a cost of $105,000 and requires $5,000 in installation costs; it has a five year usable life and would be depreciated under MACRS, using a five year recovery period. Sampson can currently sell the existing grinder for $70,000 without incurring any removal and cleanup costs. To support theincreased business resulting from the purchase of the new grinder, accounts receivable would increase by $40,000, inventories by $30,000 and accounts payable by $58,000. At the end of five years, the existing grinder would have a market value of zero; the new grinder would be sold to net $29,000 after removal and clean up costs and before…arrow_forward
- Hughes Corporation 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. Required: Should the company sell the old machine and purchase the new model? Assume 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. Ignore the effect of the decision on income taxes.arrow_forwardHughes Corporation is considering replacing a machine used in the manufacturing process with a new, more efficient model.
