Alfa bakery is considering replacing its existing automated oven. The current market value of the oven is $14,600. The value of the oven depreciates by 27% per year. The bakery requires $17,100 in maintenance costs per year as of today. The maintenance costs are expected to increase by $5,300 per year as the oven gets older. If the MARR is 11.8% and the production is 34 cakes per day; should Alfa bakery instead replace it by outsource their automated baking production to an external bakery for $2.20 per cake?

- Beryl's Iced Tea currently rents a bottling machine for $52,000 per year, including all maintenance expenses. It is considering purchasing a machine instead and is comparing two options: a. Purchase the machine it is currently renting for $160,000. This machine will require $20,000 per year in ongoing maintenance expenses. b. Purchase a new, more advanced machine for $265,000. This machine will require $17,000 per year in ongoing maintenance expenses and will lower bottling costs by $15,000 per year. Also, $35,000 will be spent up front to train the new operators of the machine. Suppose the appropriate discount rate is 8% per year and the machine is purchased today. Maintenance and bottling costs are paid at the end of each year, as is the cost of the rental machine. Assume also that the machines will be depreciated via the straight-line method over seven years and that they have a 10-year life with a negligible salvage value. The marginal corporate tax rate is 25%. The NPV of renting…Zoe Building Supply is considering erecting a barbed wire fence around its premises to control theft losses. The fence will cost $350,000 and have a 15-year useful life. They will also incur installation costs of $45,000. The fence is expected to reduce theft losses by $20,000 per year. The firm will no longer need the night security guard and will save $35,000 per year. Insurance premiums are expected to decrease from $65,000 per year to $50,000 per year. The fence will require annual maintenance that is estimated to cost $5,000. Zoe is in a 34% tax bracket and they have a 6% cost of capital. Should they install the fence? Use the discounted cash flow method (NPV and IRR). Show all calculations and support your recommendation with a clear explanation.Beryl's Iced Tea currently rents a bottling machine for $53,000 per year, including all maintenance expenses.

The plant has an expected life of 5 years, and expected sales are 7 million jars of makeup a year. Fixed costs are $3.1 million a year, and variable costs are $1.20 per jar. The product will be priced at $2.90 per jar. The plant will be depreciated straight-line over 5 years to a salvage value of zero. The opportunity cost of capital is 10%, and the tax rate is 40%. What is project NPV under these base-case assumptions? What is NPV if variable costs turn out to be $2.00 per jar? What is NPV if fixed costs turn out to be $2.8 million per year? At what price per jar would the project's NPV equal zero?Wendell's Donut Shoppe is investigating the purchase of a new $48,300 donut-making machine. The new machine would permit the company to reduce the amount of part-time help needed, at a cost savings of $6,800 per year. In addition, the new machine would allow the company to produce one new style of donut, resulting in the sale of 1.700 dozen more donuts each year. The company realizes a contribution margin of $2.00 per dozen donuts sold. The new machine would have a six-year useful life.

- Charlie Corporation is considering buying a new donut maker. This machine will replace an old donut maker that still has a useful life of 6 years. The new machine will cost $3,770 a year to operate, as opposed to the old machine, which costs $4,225 per year to operate. Also, because of increased capacity, an additional 21,700 donuts a year can be produced. The company makes a contribution margin of $0.10 per donut. The old machine can be sold for $8,700 and the new machine costs $31,700. The incremental annual net cash inflows provided by the new machine would be (Ignore income taxes.): Multiple Choice O O O O $455 $2,170 $6,530 $2,625A new furnace for your small factory is being installed right now, will cost $27,000, and will be completed in one year. At that point, it will require ongoing maintenance expenditures of $1,500 a year. But it is far more fuel-efficient than your old furnace and will reduce your consumption of heating oil by 2,400 gallons per year. Heating oil this year costs $3 a gallon; the price per gallon is expected to increase by $0.50 a year for the next 3 years and then to stabilize for the foreseeable future. The furnace will last for 20 years from initial use, at which point it will need to be replaced and will have no salvage value. (Specifically, the firm pays for the furnace at time 0 and then reaps higher net cash flows from that investment at the end of years 1-20.) The discount rate is 8%. a.

- The Sweetwater Candy Company would like to buy a new machine that would automatically “dip” chocolates. The dipping operation currently is done largely by hand. The machine the company is considering costs $210,000. The manufacturer estimates that the machine would be usable for five years but would require the replacement of several key parts at the end of the third year. These parts would cost $11,300, including installation. After five years, the machine could be sold for $6,000. The company estimates that the cost to operate the machine will be $9,300 per year. The present method of dipping chocolates costs $53,000 per year. In addition to reducing costs, the new machine will increase production by 5,000 boxes of chocolates per year. The company realizes a contribution margin of $1.65 per box. A 19% rate of return is required on all investments.
