2) An existing machine in the factory has an annual maintenance cost of 40,000. A new and more efficient machine will require an investment of 90,000 and it is estimated to have a salvage value of 30,000 at the end of 8 years. Its annual expenses for maintenance is 22,000. If the company's MARR is 12%, will it be worthwhile to purchase the new machine using (a) Present Worth Method? (B method?

note: can you help me answer the question for a, b and c?Muthusamy Curry Mills (MCM) is considering the purchase of a new milling equipment to replace an existing one that has a book value of $3,000 and can be sold for $1,500. The old machine is being depreciated on a straight-line basis and its estimated salvage value 3 years from now is zero. The new machine will reduce costs (before taxes) by $7,000 per year. It has a 3-year life; with an installed cost of $14,000; and it can be sold for an expected $2,000 at the end of the third year. The new machine would be depreciated over its 3-year life using the MACRS method. The applicable depreciation rates are as follows: Year 1: 33% Year 2: 45% Year 3: 15% Year 4: 7% Assume a 40% tax rate and a cost of capital of 16%. a. The initial investment associated with the replacement of the old milling equipment by the new one is? b.

Scription Inc. has additional cash available for investment and considers replacing the old factory equipment with a new one. There are two options for Scription. One option is to purchase a new equipment from Supplier A for $100,000. Supplier A equipment has a useful life of 10 years with after-tax residual value, $5,000 and can save $60,000 annually. The other option is with Supplier B. Supplier B would charge $120,000 for a new equipment. Supplier B equipment would generate $50,000 annual cost saving. Its useful life is 12 years and the after-tax residual value of $6,000. Assume the required rate of return for both options is 8%. Using NPV method, determine which option is the more attractive. Must show your computation steps. Use the appropriate tables in Appendix A to obtain the relevant present value factor and round up your final answer to the nearest dollar.
You must evaluate a proposal to buy a new milling machine. The purchase price of the milling machine, including shipping and installation costs, is $104,000, and the equipment will be fully depreciated at the time of purchase. The machine would be sold after 3 years for $43,000. The machine would require a $5,500 increase in net operating working capital (increased inventory less increased accounts payable). There would be no effect on revenues, but pretax labor costs would decline by $56,000 per year. The marginal tax rate is 25%, and the WACC is 8%. Also, the firm spent $4,500 last year investigating the feasibility of using the machine. a. How should the $4,500 spent last year be handled? I. Last year's expenditure is considered a sunk cost and does not represent an incremental cash flow. Hence, it should not be included in the analysis. II. The cost of research is an incremental cash flow and should be included in the analysis. III. Only the tax effect of the research expenses…
