Exercise 1 (Simple Rate of Return Method) The management of Ann Gee MicroBrew is considering the purchase of an automated bottling machine for P80,000. The machine would replace an old piece of equipment that costs P33,000 per year to operate. The new machine would cost P10,000 per year to operate. The old machine currently in use could be sold now for a scrap value of P5,000. The new machine would have a useful life of 10 years with no salvage value. Required: Compute the simple rate of return on the new automated bottling machine.
Assume that a company is choosing between two alternatives-keep an existing machine or replace it with a new machine. The costs associated with the two alternatives are summarized as follows: Multiple Choice Purchase cost (new) Remaining book value Overhaul needed now Annual cash operating costs Salvage value (now) Salvage value (eight years from now) $ 6,000 Click here to view Exhibit 14B-1 and Exhibit 14B-2, to determine the appropriate discount factor(s) using the tables provided. If the company overhauls its existing machine, it will be usable for eight more years. If it buys the new machine, it will be used for eight years. Assuming a discount rate of 12%, what is the net present value of the cash flows associated with keeping the existing machine? $(50,760) $(56,760) Existing Machine $ 15,000 $ 6,000 $ 5,000 $ 10,500 $ 2,000 $ 1,000 $(71,760) New Machine $ 22,000 $ 7,000
