Question 6
Excel Bhd is currently using a moulding machine that was purchased five years ago with a remaining useful life of five years. The company is analyzing a proposal by the production department to replace the machine. The new machine can be purchased at RM500,000 and will
have a 5-years useful life. If the machine is used till the end of its useful life, it can be sold at RM50,000. However the company needs to pay another RM25,000 to modify the machine for its special function. The existing machine was bought for RM300,000 with an expected salvage value of RM30,000. However, if the company decides to sell the machine now, it can be sold at RM120,000. Since the new machine is more efficient, it would require additional raw materials of RM20,000 and accruals are expected to increase by RM15,000. Sales are expected to increase by RM150,000 per year. However production costs will also go up by RM60,000 every year. The cost of defects can be reduced by RM10,000 per annum and the company can also reduce the number of production workers. Hence labour cost is expected to be reduced by RM75,000 per year. It is the policy of the company to use the straight line method to depreciate all its non current
assets. The corporate tax rate is 25%.
Required: You need to compute the following:
i) Initial Outlay
ii) Differential cash flows over the project’s life
iii) Terminal cash flows
