**Inventory Management Decision-Making Exercise** Bramble Corp. has inventory on hand with a cost of $24,000. Its scrap value is $38,000. The inventory could be sold for $76,000 if processed further at an additional cost of $21,000. What should Bramble do?- **Option 1:** Manufacture further and sell it for $76,000.- **Option 2:** Sell the inventory for $38,000 scrap value.- **Option 3:** Dispose of the inventory to avoid any further decline in value.- **Option 4:** Hold the inventory at its $24,000 cost.**Analysis of Options:**1. **Manufacture Further:** - Additional Processing Cost: $21,000 - Potential Sales Revenue after Processing: $76,000 - Net Income from Manufacturing Further: $76,000 (sales) - $21,000 (additional cost) - $24,000 (initial cost) = $31,0002. **Sell as Scrap:** - Scrap Value: $38,000 - Net Income from Selling as Scrap: $38,000 - $24,000 (initial cost) = $14,0003. **Disposing of Inventory:** - This option typically implies no revenue and possibly additional costs related to disposal. Therefore, not a favorable choice unless there is a significant decline in value expected.4. **Holding Inventory:** - This option involves retaining the asset at its initial cost, with no immediate income or additional outlay, but with potential future costs or depreciation.**Recommendation:**Based on the analysis, manufacturing the inventory further and selling it for $76,000 yields the highest net income of $31,000. Therefore, the recommended option for Bramble Corp. would be to manufacture further and sell the inventory for $76,000.

We are considering the purchase of a $760,000 computed based inventory management system. It is in class 10 with a CCA rate of 30 per cent. The computer has a four-year life. It will be worth $30,000 at that time. The system would save us $60,000 pre-tax in inventory-related cost. The relevant tax rate is 28%. Because the new setup is more efficient than our existing one, we would be able to carry less total inventory and thus free $45,000 in net working capital. The required return is 10 percent. Required 1. Calculate the present value of CCA tax shield. 2. Explain why the CCA tax shield is consider a source of cash-inflow.
