"That old equipment for producing oil drums is worn out," said Jillian Rafuse, president of Hondrich Company. "We need to make a
decision quickly." The company is trying to decide whether it should rent new equipment and continue to make its oil drums internally
or whether it should discontinue production and purchase them from an outside supplier. The alternatives follow:
Alternative 1: Rent new equipment for producing the oil drums for $96,000 per year.
Alternative 2: Purchase oil drums from an outside supplier for $17.15 each.
Hondrich Company's costs per unit of producing the oil drums internally (with the old equipment) are given below. These costs are
based on a current activity level of 30,000 units per year:
Direct materials
$ 5.00
Direct labour
9.00
Variable overhead
3.20
Fixed overhead ($1.60 supervision, $1.80 depreciation, and
$4.00 general company overhead)
Total cost per unit

Suppose you work for a data processing company who needs a new supercomputer now. Your company can either buy the supercomputer for $400,000 or lease it from a computer leasing company through an operating lease. The maintenance will be provided by the leasing company. Your company will not incur any other costs except the lease payment. But the annual maintenance cost will cost the leasing company$25,000 per year for four years. The lease terms require your company to make four annual payments at the beginning of each year. The computer could be depreciated for tax purposes straight-line over four years and it will have no residual value at the end of year 4. The interest rate is 12%. Suppose the tax rate paid by your company is 21% but the leasing company pays only 15% tax due to carried over losses from their previous operation.
What is the pre-tax lease payment amount that will help the leasing company break even within 4 years if it requires 8% return.
What is the NPV of the…
You work for a nuclear research laboratory that is contemplating leasing a diagnostic scanner (leasing is a very common practice with expensive, high-tech equipment). The scanner costs $4,000,000, and it would be depreciated straight-line to zero over 4 years. Because of radiation contamination, it will actually be completely valueless in 4 years. You can lease it for $1,200,000 per year for four years. Assume that your company does not anticipate paying taxes for the next several years. You can borrow at 9 percent before taxes. What is the NAL of this lease?

- Super Apparel wants to replace an old machine with a new one. The new machine would increase annual revenue by $200,000 and annual operating expenses by $80,000. The new machine would cost $400, 000. The estimated useful life of the machine is 10 years with zero salvage value. i. Compute the Accounting Rate of Return (ARR) of the machine using the above information. ii. Should Super Apparel purchase the machine if management wants an Accounting Rate of Return (ARR) of 19% on all capital investments?

Is the company’s financial risk any different whether the equipmentis leased or purchased? Explain.arrow_forwardA design firm is considering investing in a software suite that costs $200,000. It estimates that the software will allow it to better present its design ideas and generate an additional revenue of $70,000 per year for each of the next 4 years. At the end of those 4 years, the firm will need to upgrade its software and the software suite would have negligible salvage value. Due to changes in the economy, the design firm is reevaluating its MARR - it is not sure whether it should be 9%, 12%, or 14%. Calculate the present worth at each of these MARRS, and determine for which values of the MARR the investment will be economically justified. Click here to access the TVM Factor Table calculator. PW(9%): 2$ PW(12%): $ PW(14%): Justified when MARR is %. Carry all interim calculations to 5 decimal places and then round your final answers for the PWs to a whole number and for the IRR to 1 decimal place. The tolerance is ±20 for the PWs and ±0.2 for the IRR.arrow_forward
