Exercise 6-21A Annual versus cumulative data for replacement decision
Because of rapidly advancing technology, Chicago Publications Corporation is considering replacing its existing typesetting machine with leased equipment. The old machine, purchased two years ago, has an expected useful life of six years and is in good condition. Apparently, it will continue to perform as expected for the remaining four years of its expected useful life. A four-year lease for equipment with comparable productivity can be obtained for $40,000 per year. The following data apply to the old machine:
Original cost | $480,000 |
Accumulated depredation | 160,000 |
Current market value | 190,000 |
Estimated salvage value | 10,000 |
Required
a. Determine the annual opportunity cost of using the old machine. Based on your computations, recommend whether to replace it.
b. Determine the total cost of the lease over the four-year contract. Based on your computations, recommend whether to replace the old machine.

Survey Of Accounting
- Problem 6-26 Project Analysis and Inflation Shinoda Manufacturing, Incorporated, has been considering the purchase of a new manufacturing facility for $540,000. The facility is to be fully depreciated on a straight- line basis over seven years. It is expected to have no resale value at that time. Operating revenues from the facility are expected to be $410,000, in nominal terms, at the end of the first year. The revenues are expected to increase at the inflation rate of 2 percent. Production costs at the end of the first year will be $255,000, in nominal terms, and they are expected to increase at 3 percent per year. The real discount rate is 5 percent. The corporate tax rate is 25 percent. Calculate the NPV of the project. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

The new machine will cost 80,000; and it will have an estimated life of 8 years and no salvage value. The new machine will be depreciated over its 5-year MACRS recovery period, so the applicable depreciation rates are 20%, 32%, 19%, 12%, 11%, and 6%. The applicable corporate tax rate is 40%, and the firm's WACC is 10%. The old machine has been fully depreciated and has no salvage value. Should the old riveting machine be replaced by the new one? Explain your answer.arrow_forwardQUESTION 10 Georgia Mills Company (GMC) purchase a milling machine, which it intends to use for the next five years, for $180,000. This machine is expected to save GMC $35,000 during the first operating year. Then, the annual savings are expected to decrease by 3% each subsequent year over the previous year due to increased maintenance costs. Assuming that GMC would operate the machine for an average of 5,000 hours per year and that the machine would have no appreciable salvage value at the end of the five year period, determine the equivalent dollar savings per operating hour at 15% interest compounded annually.

A new machine is available at a cost of $110,000, and Mack can also receive $50,000 for trading in its old machine. The new machine will reduce variable manufacturing costs by $15,000 per year over its four-year useful life.

Buying a new machine press for $450,000 is estimated to result in $184,000 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 $74,000. The press also requires an initial investment in spare parts inventory of $33,000, along with an additional $3,750 in inventory for each succeeding year of the project. The shop's tax rate is 23 percent and its discount rate is 10 percent. Calculate the NPV of this project.

Market research indicates that 1,000,000 units can be sold if the price is no more than $5. If Maize Water decides to produce the filters, it will need to invest $2,000,000 in new production equipment. Maize Water requires a minimum rate of return of 20% on all investments. Determine the target cost per unit for the filter. (Round answer to 2 decimal places, e.g. 10.50.)

- Practice Questions Question 1 Ocean Tide Industries is planning to introduce a new product with a projected life of eight years. The project is in the government’s preferred industry list and qualifies for a one-time subsidy of $2,000,000 at the start of the project. Initial equipment (IE) will cost $14,000,000 and an additional equipment (AE) costing $1,000,000 will be needed at the end of year 2. At the end of 8 years, the original equipment, IE, will have no resale value but the supplementary equipment, AE, can be sold for its book value of $100,000.

We expect to sell 6,100 units per year at $75 net cash flow apiece for the next 10 years. In other words, the annual operating cash flow is projected to be $75 x 6,100 $457,500. The relevant discount rate is 18 percent, and the initial investment required is $1,720,000. After the first year, the project can be dismantled and sold for $1,550,000. Suppose you think it is likely that expected sales will be revised upward to 9,100 units if the first year is a success and revised downward to 4,700 units if the first year is not a success. a.
