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. The company has determined the following: Machine A could be purchased for $54,000. It will last 10 years with annual maintenance costs of $1,700 per year. After 10 years the machine can be sold for $5,670. Machine B could be purchased for $45,000. It also will last 10 years and will require maintenance costs of $6,800 in year three, $8,500 in year six, and $10,200 in year eight. After 10 years, the machine will have no salvage value. Required: Assume an interest rate of 8% properly reflects the time value of money in this situation and that maintenance costs are paid at the end of each year. Ignore income tax considerations. Calculate the present value of Machine A & Machine B. Which machine Esquire should purchase?
Choose the correct answer for the following question: Your company is analyzing two machines to determine which one it should purchase. Whichever machine is purchased will be replaced at the end of its useful life. The company requires a 10 percent rate of return and uses straight-line depreciation to a zero book value over the life of the machine. Machine A has a cost of $300,000, annual operating costs of $42,000, and a 5-year life. Machine B costs $265,000, has annual operating costs of $50,000, and a 4-year life. The company currently pays no taxes. Which machine should be purchased and why? (Hint: consider the equivalent annual cost-EAC of the two machines) A. Machine A; because it will save the company about $8,783 a year B. Machine A; because it will save the company about $14,670 a year C. Machine B; because it will save the company about $11,482 a year D. Machine B; because it will save the company about $9,916 a year E. Machine A; because it will save the company about…
Masters Machine Shop is considering a four-year project to improve its production efficiency. Buying a new machine press for $892,800 is estimated to result in $297,600 in annual pretax cost savings. The press falls in the MACRS five-year class (MACRS Table), and it will have a salvage value at the end of the project of $130,200. The press also requires an initial investment in spare parts inventory of $37,200, along with an additional $5,580 in inventory for each succeeding year of the project. If the shop's tax rate is 22 percent and its discount rate is 19 percent, what is the NPV for this project?
Alliance Manufacturing Company is considering the purchase of a new automated drill press to replace an older one. The machine now in operation has a book value of zero and a salvage value of zero. However, it is in good working condition with an expected life of 10 additional years. The new drill press is more efficient than the existing one and, if installed, will provide an estimated cost savings (in labor, materials, and maintenance) of $6,000 per year. The new machine costs $25,000 delivered and installed. It has an estimated useful life of 10 years and a salvage value of $1,000 at the end of this period. The firm’s cost of capital is 14 percent, and its marginal income tax rate is 40 percent. The firm uses the straight-line depreciation method. Complete the following table to compute the net present value (NPV) of the investment. (Hint: Remember that, in Year 10, Alliances also receives the salvage value of the machine.)
