manufacture of such a stopper would imply that the company will buy a machine whose cost would be $3,300,000 and salvage value after 5 years of use would be $100,000. Also, to operate and maintain this machinery, the company incurred annual fixed costs of $500,000 and variable costs of $5/cap. If the company needs 500,000 caps a year and The Trema that applies is 15% per year, what decision would be more profitable for the company: continue to buy gas caps or manufacture them? Solve the problem using the IRR criterio

Axdew Limited is considering whether to manufacture an improved, more expensive version of their current line of best-selling lava lamps. Axdew currently spends $15,000 per year on maintenance and $80,000 on full-time salaries for staff. Maintenance costs are expected to remain the same but an additional labourer will need to be hired at an annual cost of $30,000. Manufacture of the newer version will require re-tooling of its existing machinery at a cost of $40,000. Axdew paid consultants a fee of $30,000 for a feasibility study to determine the viability of the new product. Which of the costs discussed above need to be considered by management in deciding whether to proceed with the new product? Justify your answer.
ClockWatchers is about to introduce a new employee monitoring tool and has determined that it will charge $100 per unit. The company must decide whether or not to purchase a high-capacity manufacturing machine. If the high-capacity machine is selected, then the cash fixed costs will be $5,000 per year, with variable costs of $50 per unit and depreciation and amortisation expenses of $2,000. Otherwise the fixed costs will be $2,000, with variable costs of $75 per unit and depreciation and amortisation expenses of $500. If EBIT Break-even is how the company evaluates its projects, then above what level of expected sales should ClockWatchers choose the high fixed cost alternative? 60 units 90 units120 units 180 units
A company is considering replacing a machine used in the manufacturing process with a new, more efficient model. The purchase price of the new machine is $150,000 and the old machine can be sold for $100,000. Output for the two machines is identical; they will both be used to produce the same amount of product for five years. However, the annual operating costs of the old machine are $18,000 compared to $10,000 for the new machine. Also, the new machine has a salvage value of $25,000, but the old machine will be worthless at the end of the five years. You are deciding whether the company should sell the old machine and purchase the new model. You have determined that an 8% rate properly reflects the time value of money in this situation and that all operating costs are paid at the end of the year. For this initial comparison you ignore the effect of the decision on income taxes. Required: What is the incremental cash outflow required to acquire the new machine? What is the present…
Bridgewell Industries is evaluating the option of purchasing a fork-lift truck costing $60,000. If purchased, the truck will replace 4 workers, each with an average annual salary of $15,000. However, an experienced fork-lift operator will have to be hired at a salary of $20,000 per year. Fuel and maintenance expense is expected to be $10,000 per year. At the end of its 5-year life, the truck will have a market value of $10,000. Bridgewell uses straight-line depreciation and depreciates the asset to $0, assigns a 10% required rate of return for this type of investment, and has a marginal tax rate of 40%. Should the fork-lift truck be purchased? Please show all of your work
Hey I'm having trouble with this problem, I'm not sure if 48,000 is pv or fv also I'm not sure if what to do with annual maintenance cost either. "Esquire Company needs to acquire a molding machine to be used in its manufacturing process. Two types of machines that would be appropriate are presently on the market. Machine A could be purchased for $48,000. It will last 10 years with annual maintenance costs of $1,000 per year. After 10 years the machine can be sold for $5,000.Machine B could be purchased for $40,000.

A factory has the following alternative: buy a used machine at a price of $10,000.00 or a new machine at a price of $30,000.00. Annual labor costs are $20,000 for the used machine and $15,000 for the new machine. The annual energy costs are $8,000.00 and $10,000.00 respectively. In the case of the used machine, the salvage value after 5 years would be nil, while that of the new machine would be equal to $5,000.00. Considering an MARR of 20% per year what is the best alternative? Use the equivalent annual cost
