0/4 E ! Crane Inc. manufactures snowsuits. Crane is considering purchasing a new sewing machine at a cost of $2.45 million. Its existing machine was purchased 5 years ago at a price of $1.8 million; six months ago, Crane spent $55,000 to keep it operational. The existing sewing machine can be sold today for $241,835. The new sewing machine would require a one-time, $85,000 training cost. Operating costs would decrease by the following amounts for years 1 to 7: Year 1 $389,500 2 399,400 3 411,000 4 425,400 5 433,700 6 435,300 7 437,300 The new sewing machine would be depreciated according to the declining-balance method at a rate of 20%. The salvage value is expected to be $379,500. This new equipment would require maintenance costs of $94,500 at the end of the fifth year. The cost of capital is 9%. Click here to view PV table. Use the net present value method to determine the following: (If net present value is negative then enter with negative sign preceding the number eg.-45 or parentheses e.g. (45). Round present value answer to O decimal places, eg. 125. For calculation purposes, use 5 decimal places as displayed in the factor table provided.) Calculate the net present value. Net present value $ 3550299 Determine whether Crane should purchase the new machine to replace the existing machine? Yes

You must analyze a potential new product --- a caulking compound that Korry Materials’ R&D people developed for use in the residential construction industry. Korry’s marketing manager thinks they can sell 115,000 tubes per year at a price of $3.25 each for 3 years, after which the product will be obsolete. The required equipment would cost $125,000, plus another $25,000 for shipping and installation. Current assets (receivables and inventories) would increase by $35,000, while current liabilities (accounts payables and accruals) would rise by $15,000. Variable costs would be 60 percent of sales revenue, fixed costs (exclusive of depreciation) would be $70,000 per year, and the fixed assets would be depreciated under MACRS with a 3-year life. When production ceases after 3 years, the equipment should have a market value of $15,000. Korry’s tax rate is 40 percent, and it uses a 10 percent WACC for average risk projects. The R&D costs for the new product were $30,000, and…

Chattanooga Development Company wants to evaluate replacing an older machine requiring significant maintenance which delays production. The older machine can be used for 2 more years of production. The Company could buy a replacement machine at a cost of $55,000 and the new machine would have a 2-year life. The units produced by the machine have a sales price of $8.50. The older machine produces an average of 50 units per day at a cost of $6.50 per unit. The new machine would produce twice as many units at the same cost. Sales units and production units are the same volume, and the machines are operated for 260 days each year. INSTRUCTIONS: Prepare the analysis to evaluate whether the Company should retain or replace the machine. Indicate what the Company should do.
