question 20
Billingham Packaging is considering expanding its production capacity by purchasing a new machine, the XC-750. The cost of the XC-750 is
$2.75 million. Unfortunately, installing this machine will take several months and will partially disrupt production. The firm has just completed a
$50,000 feasibility study to analyze the decision to buy the XC-750, resulting in the following estimates:
• Marketing: Once the XC-750 is operational next year, the extra capacity is expected to generate $10.00 million per year in additional sales, which will continue for the 10-year life of the machine.
• Operations: The disruption caused by the installation will decrease sales by
$5.00 million this year. As with Billingham's existing products, the cost of goods for the products produced by the XC-750 is expected to be
70% of their sale price. The increased production will also require increased inventory on hand of $1.00 million during the life of the project, including…

Revenues from the infiltrator division are $50 million a year, and production costs are $47.5 million. However, the 10 high-precision Munster stamping machines that are used in the production process are coming to the end of their useful life. One possibility is simply to replace each existing machine with a new Munster. These machines would cost $800,000 each and would not involve any additional operating costs. The alternative is to buy 10 centrally controlled Skilboro stampers. Skilboros cost $1.25 million each, but compared with the Munster, they would produce a total saving in operator and material costs of $500,000 a year. Moreover, the Skilboro is sturdily built and would last 10 years, compared with an estimated seven-year life for the Munster.
