Granfield Company has a piece of manufacturing equipment with a book value of $41,500 and a remaining useful life of four years. At the end of the four years the equipment will have a zero salvage value. The market value of the equipment is currently $22,300. Granfield can purchase a new machine for $123,000 and receive $22,300 in return for trading in its old machine. The new machine will reduce variable manufacturing costs by $19,300 per year over the four-year life of the new machine. The total increase or decrease in net income by replacing the current machine with the new machine (ignoring the time value of money) is: Multiple Choice $77,200 decrease $23,500 increase $53.050 increase $23,500 decrease $19,200 decrease

Ivanhoe Company has a factory machine with a book value of $88,100 and a remaining useful life of 7 years. It can be sold for $33,800. A new machine is available at a cost of $510,700. This machine will have a 7-year useful life with no salvage value. The new machine will lower annual variable manufacturing costs from $576,600 to $470,500. Prepare an analysis showing whether the old machine should be retained or replaced. (In the first two columns, enter costs and expenses as positive amounts, and any amounts received as negative amounts. In the third column, enter net income increases as positive amounts and decreases as negative amounts. Enter negative amounts using either a negative sign preceding the number eg. -45 or parentheses e.g. (45).)

B2B Company is considering the purchase of equipment that would allow the company to add a new product to its line. The equipment costs $379,200 and has a 12-year life and no salvage value. B2B Company requires at least an 8% return on this investment. The expected annual income for each year from this equipment follows: (PV of $1, FV of $1, PVA of $1, and FVA of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.) Sales of new product $ 237,000 Expenses Materials, labor, and overhead (except depreciation) 83,000 Depreciation—Equipment 31,600 Selling, general, and administrative expenses 23,700 Income $ 98,700 (a) Compute the net present value of this investment.(b) Should the investment be accepted or rejected on the basis of net present value?
The annual operating costs of Machine A are $2,000. The machine will perform satisfactorily over the next five years and has an estimated market value (MV) of $3,000 at the end of its useful life. A salesperson for another company is offering a replacement, Machine B, for $14,000, with a MV of $1,400 after five years. Annual operating costs for Machine B will only be $1,500. It is believed that $10,000 could be obtained for the old machine A if it were sold now. If the before-tax MARR is 11% per year, determine whether the old machine A should be replaced by the new machine B.
Starling Co. is considering disposing of a machine with a book value of $22,200 and estimated remaining life of five years. The old machine can be sold for $5,800. A new high-speed machine can be purchased at a cost of $72,200. It will have a useful life of five years and no residual value. It is estimated that the annual variable manufacturing costs will be reduced from $23,400 to $19,900 if the new machine is purchased. The differential effect on income for the new machine for the entire five years is a(n)
XYZ Co. is considering the purchase of a new machine. The machine will cost $250,000 and requires installation costs of $25,000. The existing machine can be sold currently for $25,070. It was purchased three years ago for $83,000 and depreciated using MACRS (5 years). It can be operated for another four years. Its market value at that time, if sold, would be $14,000. The new machine has expected life of five years and expected to provide operating cash savings of $88,000 a year for 2 years and $50,000 a year for the next two years before depreciation and taxes (EBD&T). After four years the new machine can be sold for $12,750. To support the increased business resulting from the purchase of new machine, A/R will increase by $12,000; inventory will increase by $25,000 and current liabilities by $41,000. The cost of capital is 17% and the tax rate is 40%. What is NPV? Question 9 options: $56,900 -$65,880 -$63,118 -$76,890
firm is considering purchasing a machine that costs $77,000. It will be used for six years, and the salvage value at that time is expected to be zero. The machine will save $41,000 per year in labor, but it will incur $16,000 in operating and maintenance costs each year. The machine will be depreciated according to five-year MACRS. The firm's tax rate is 35%, and its after-tax MARR is 18%. What is the present worth of the project?
