(a) A company is now considering to replace an old machine. The old machine was purchased at $600,000 four years ago and it is expected to work productively for six more years. The current market value of the old machine is $300,000 and it will depreciate $40,000 per year. The annual operating and maintenance expense for the old machine is $200,000 this year and will increase $60,000 per year thereafter. The new machine can be purchased at the cost of $800,000. The market value of the new machine will be $500,000 at the end of first year of ownership and will depreciate $50,000 per year thereafter. The expected annual operating and maintenance costs will be $100,000 for the first year and will increase $40,000 per year thereafter. Assume that 10% MARR per year is used for the entire replacement analysis. (ii) Determine the most economical period to keep the old (defender) machine before replacing by the new (challenger) machine.

Maxwell Manufacturing is contemplating the purchase of a new machine to replace a machine that has been in use for seven years. The old machine has a net book value (NBV) of $51,000 and still has five years of useful life remaining. The old machine has a current market value of $5,100, but is expected to have no market value after five years. The variable operating costs and depreciation expenses (straight-line basis) are $120,000 per year. The new machine will cost $86,000, has an estimated useful life of five years with zero disposal value after five years, and an annual operating expense of $101,000 (including straight-line depreciation). Considering the five years in total and ignoring the time value of money and income taxes, what is the difference in total relevant costs for the two decision alternatives (keep vs. replace)?
The Carico Company recently purchased a new machine for its factory operations at a cost of $921,250. The investment is expected to generate $250,000 in annual cash flows for a period of six years. The required rate of return is 14%. The old machine has a remaining life of six years. The new machine is expected to have zero value at the end of the six-year period. The disposal value of the old machine at the time of replacement is zero. Required: What is the internal rate of return? a. 18% b. 16% c. 15% d. 17%
One year ago, your company purchased a machine used in manufacturing for $120,000. You have learned that a new machine is available that offers many advantages; you can purchase it for $160,000 today. It will be depreciated on a straight-line basis over 10 years, after which it has no salvage value. You expect that the new machine will contribute EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization) of $40,000 per year for the next 10 years. The current machine is expected to produce EBITDA of $25,000 per year. The current machine is being depreciated on a straight-line basis over a useful life of 11 years, after which it will have no salvage value, so depreciation expense for the current machine is $10,909 per year. All other expenses of the two machines are identical. The market value today of the current machine is $50,000. Your company's tax rate is 20%, and the opportunity cost of capital for this type of equipment is 10%. Is it profitable to replace the…
A new high-efficiency digital-controlled flange-lipper can be purchased for $130,000, including installation costs. During its 5-year life, it will reduce cash operating expenses by $45,000 per year, although it will not affect sales. At the end of its useful life, the high-efficiency machine is estimated to be worthless. MACRS depreciation will be used, and the machine will be depreciated over its 3-year class life rather than its 5-year economic life, so the applicable depreciation rates are 33.33%, 44.45%, 14.81%, and 7.41%. The old machine can be sold today for $50,000. The firm's tax rate is 35%, and the appropriate cost of capital is 14%. If the new flange-lipper is purchased, what is the amount of the initial cash flow at Year 0? Round your answer to the nearest whole dollar.$ What are the incremental net cash flows that will occur at the end of Years 1 through 5? Do not round intermediate calculations.

Wildhorse Inc. wants to purchase a new machine for $38,790, excluding $1,500 of installation costs. The old machine was purchased 5 years ago and had an expected economic life of 10 years with no salvage value. The old machine has a book value of $2,200, and Wildhorse Inc. expects to sell it for that amount. The new machine will decrease operating costs by $9,000 each year of its economic life. The straight-line depreciation method will be used for the new machine for a 6-year period with no salvage value. Click here to view PV table. (a) Determine the cash payback period. (Round cash payback period to 2 decimal places, e.g. 10.53.) Cash payback period (b) years Determine the approximate internal rate of return. (Round answer to O decimal places, e.g. 13%. For calculation purposes, use 5 decimal places as displayed in the factor table provided.) Internal rate of return %
The management of Ballard MicroBrew is considering the purchase of an automated bottling machine for $66,000. The machine would replace an old piece of equipment that costs $17,000 per year to operate. The new machine would cost $8,000 per year to operate. The old machine currently in use is fully depreciated and could be sold now for a salvage value of $29,000. The new machine would have a useful life of 10 years with no salvage value. Required: 1. What is the annual depreciation expense associated with the new bottling machine? 2. What is the annual incremental net operating income provided by the new bottling machine? 3. What is the amount of the initial investment associated with this project that should be used for calculating the simple rate of return? 4. What is the simple rate of return on the new bottling machine? (Round your answer to 1 decimal place i.e. 0.123 should be considered as 12.3%.)
1. Howell Petroleum is considering a new project that complements its existing business. The machine required for the project costs $3.82 million. The marketing department predicts that sales related to the project will be $2.52 million per year for the next four years, after which the firm expects to sell it for $500,000. The machine is a five-year class asset and will be depreciated down to zero over five years under the straight-line method. Cost of goods sold and operating expenses related to the project are predicted to be 25 percent of sales. Howell also needs to add net working capital of $200,000 immediately. The additional net working capital will be recovered in full at the end of the project’s life. The corporate tax rate is 35 percent. The required rate of return (or discount rate) for the project is 12.5 percent. Compute the NPV, IRR, and payback period of the project. The firm’s acceptable payback period is 3 years. Is this project acceptable to the firm?
International Soup Company is considering replacing a canning machine. The old machine is being depreciated by the straight-line method over a 10-year recovery period from a depreciable cost basis of $120,000. The old machine has 5 years of remaining usable life, at which time its salvage value is expected to be zero, and it can be sold now for $40,000. This machine has a current book value of $60,000. The purchase price of the new machine is $250,000. Employees were sent to a training course last year on how to use the new machine; this training cost $5,000. The new machine has a 5-year life and an expected salvage value of $25,000. Annual savings of electricity, labor, and materials from use of the new machine are estimated at $40,000. The company is in a 40 percent tax bracket and its cost of capital is 16 percent. The MACRS depreciation method will be used and the recovery percentages for assets with a 5-year class life are given below: What is the initial cash outlay for the…
The Baltic Company is considering the purchase of a new machine tool to replace an obsolete one. The machine being used for the operation has a current book value of $80,000, with an annual depreciation expense of $8,000. It has a resale value today of $40,000, is in good working order, and will last, physically, for at least 10 more years. The proposed machine will perform the operation so much more efficiently that Baltic engineers estimate that labor, material, and other direct costs of the operation will be reduced $60,000 a year if it is installed. The proposed machine costs $240,000 delivered and installed, and its economic life is estimated at 10 years, with zero salvage value. The company expects to earn 14 percent on its investment after taxes (14 percent is the firm's cost of capital). The tax rate is 22 percent, and the firm uses straight-line depreciation. Any gain or loss on the sale of the machine at retirement is subject to tax at 40 percent. Would it be better…
