Analysis of alternatives
• LO6–3, LO6–7
Esquire Company needs to acquire a molding machine to be used in its manufacturing process. Two types of machines that would be appropriate are presently on the market. The company has determined the following:
Machine A could be purchased for $48,000. It will last 10 years with annual maintenance costs of $1,000 per year. After 10 years the machine can be sold for $5,000.
Machine B could be purchased for $40,000. It also will last 10 years and will require maintenance costs of $4,000 in year three, $5,000 in year six, and $6,000 in year eight. After 10 years, the machine will have no salvage value.
Required:
Determine which machine Esquire should purchase. Assume an interest rate of 8% properly reflects the time value of money in this situation and that maintenance costs are paid at the end of each year. Ignore income tax considerations.

Problem 9
A contractor is considering the following three alternatives:
a. Purchase a new microcomputer system for $15,000. The system is expected to last
6 years with salvage value of $1,000.
b. Lease a new microcomputer system for $3,000 per year, payable in advance. The
system should last 6 years.
c. Purchase a used microcomputer system for $8,200. It is expected to last 3
with no salvage value.
Use a common-multiple-of-lives approach. If MARR of 8% is used, which
alternative should be selected using a discounted present worth analysis? If the
MARR is 12%, which alternate should be selected?

V14
Steadman Company is considering an investment in a new machine for an independent five-year project. The machine’s cost is $837,500 with no salvage value at the end of five years. Net cash inflows from the project are expected to be $252,500 annually. Steadman would depreciate the machine using the MACRS schedule, and the machine qualifies as a 5-year asset. Steadman uses a discount rate of 8%, and its tax rate is 30%.
Required: 1. Determine the after-tax net income and after-tax cash flows from the investment. Refer to Exhibit 12.4 for the 5-year MACRS deprecation schedule.
2. Determine the NPV of the project.
3. Determine the IRR of the project.
4. Determine the payback period of the project, assuming that cash flows occur evenly in each year. 5. Determine the book (accounting) rate of return using both (a) the initial investment as the denominator and (b) the average book value of the investment as the denominator.
P10-21 Cost-Cutting Proposals [LO2]
Masters Machine Shop is considering four-year project improve its production
efficiency. Buying a new machine press for $844,800 is estimated to result in $281,600
in annual pretax cost savings. The press falls in the MACRS five-year class
(MACRS Table), and it will have a salvage value at the end of the project of $123,200.
The press also requires an initial investment in spare parts inventory of $35,200, along
with an additional $5,280 in inventory for each succeeding year of the project.
If the shop's tax rate is 23 percent and its discount rate is 10 percent, what is the NPV for
this project?

Epica will need to install new equipment to manufacture the product. Epica has to choose between two machines both of which would be suitable. Machine 1 costs K460,000 to purchase and install, and will have a residual value of K20,000 at the end of four years. Machine 2 costs K630,000 to purchase and install, and has a residual value of K30,000 at the end of four years. Machine 2 takes slightly longer to install and commission, but once in operation it has slightly lower operating costs per unit, and will eventually produce more output.

- Question 2 Mad Cat Inc. is debating between two alternative earth moving machines to use for the next 8 years. The first supplier, Double Candle, offers the necessary machinery (CCA rate = 30%) at an upfront cost of $5,450,000. These machines are expected to last 4 years and then be salvaged for approximately $1,400,000 (the CCA pool remains open). All the Double Candle machines would be salvaged and replaced after 4 years. The alternative is to purchase significantly more expensive (but longer lasting) machinery from Elemental which would last the full 8 years but cost $8,650,000 and depreciate at the same CCA rate. Elemental's machines have an expected salvage value of approximately $1,800,000. Mad Cat pays a 25% tax rate and its cost of capital is 11%. a) Which of the two systems incurs the lowest overall cost for Mad Cat?

Analysis of a replacement project Aa Aa At times firms will need to decide if they want to continue to use their current equipment or replace the equipment with newer equipment. The company will need to do replacement analysis to determine which option is the best financial decision for the company. Johnson Co. is considering replacing an existing piece of equipment. The project involves the following: The new equipment will have a cost of $1,800,000, and it will be depreciated on a straight-line basis over a period of six years (years 1-6). • The old machine is also being depreciated on a straight-line basis. It has a book value of $200,000 (at year 0) and four more years of depreciation left ($50,000 per year). The new equipment will have a salvage value of $0 at the end of the project's life (year 6).
