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.

Problem 6-26 Project Analysis and Inflation Shinoda Manufacturing, Incorporated, has been considering the purchase of a new manufacturing facility for $630,000. The facility is to be fully depreciated on a straightline basis over seven years. It is expected to have no resale value at that time. Operating revenues from the facility are expected to be $455,000, in nominal terms, at the end of the first year. The revenues are expected to increase at the inflation rate of 3 percent. Production costs at the end of the first year will be $300,000, in nominal terms, and they are expected to increase at 4 percent per year. The real discount rate is 6 percent. The corporate tax rate is 24 percent. Calculate the NPV of the project. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) NPV

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 $435,000, in nominal terms, at the end of the first year. The revenues are expected to increase at the inflation rate of 4 percent. Production costs at the end of the first year will be $280,000, in nominal terms, and they are expected to increase at 5 percent per year. The real discount rate is 7 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.)

Problem 6-11 Calculating NPV Medavoy Company is considering a new project that complements its existing business. The machine required for the project costs $5.0 million. The marketing department predicts that sales related to the project will be $3.07 million per year for the next four years, after which the market will cease to exist. The machine will be depreciated to zero over its 4-year economic life using the straight-line method. Cost of goods sold and operating expenses related to the project are predicted to be 30 percent of sales. The company also needs to add net working capital of $240,000 immediately. The additional net working capital will be recovered in full at the end of the project's life. The corporate tax rate is 23 percent and the required return for the project is 11 percent. What is the value of the NPV for this project? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer in dollars, not millions of dollars, rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g.,…
