Freida Company is considering an asset replacement project of replacing a control device. This old control device has been fully depreciated but can be sold for $5,000. The new control device, which is more automated, will cost $42,000. The new device’s installation and shipping costs will total $16,000. The new device will be depreciated on a straight-line basis over its 2-year economic life to an estimated salvage value of $0. The actual salvage value of this device at the end of 2-year period (That is, the market value of the device at the end of 2-year period) is estimated to be $4,000. If the replacement project is accepted, Freida will require an initial working capital investment of $2,200 (that is, adding $2,200 initially to its net working capital). During the 1st year of operations, Freida expects its annual revenue to increase from $72,800 to $90,000. After the 1st year, revenues from the replacement are expected to increase at a rate of $2,800 a year for the remainder of…

The Telephone Company of America purchased a numerically controlled production machine 5 years ago for $300,000. The machine currently has a trade-in value of $70,000. If the machine is continued in use, another machine, X, must be purchased to supplement the old machine. Machine X costs $200,000, has annual operating and maintenance costs of $40,000, and will have a salvage value of $30,000 in 10 years. If the old machine is retained, it will have annual operating and maintenance costs of $55,000 and will have a salvage value of $15,000 in 10 years. As an alternative to retaining the old machine, it can be replaced with Machine Y. Machine Y costs $400,000, has anticipated annual operating and maintenance costs of $70,000, and has a salvage value of $140,000 in 10 years. Using a MARR of 15%, a cash flow approach, and a present worth comparison, determine the preferred economic alternative.
The management of Jasper Equipment Company is planning to purchase a new milling machine that will cost $160,000 installed. The old milling machine has been fully depreciated but can be sold for $15,000. The new machine will be depreciated on a straight-line basis over its 10-year economic life to an estimated salvage value of $10,000. If this milling machine will save Jasper $20,000 a year in production expenses, what are the annual net cash flows associated with the purchase of this machine? Assume a marginal tax rate of 40 percent. a. $15,000 b. $27,000 c. $21,000 d. $18,000
Nguyen Inc. is considering the purchase of a new computer system (ICX) for $140,000. The system will require an additional $20,000 for installation. If the new computer is purchased it will replace an old system that has been fully depreciated. The new system will be depreciated over a period of 8 years using straight-line depreciation. If the ICX is purchased, the old system will be sold for $20,000. The ICX system, which has a useful life of 8 years, is expected to increase revenues by $31,000 per year over its useful life. Operating costs are expected to decrease by $3,000 per year over the life of the system. The firm is taxed at a 40 percent marginal rate. Round your answers to the nearest dollar. A. what investment is required to acquire the ICX system and replace the old system? B. compute the annual net cash flows associated with the purchase of the ICX system.
The management of Ballard MicroBrew is considering the purchase of an automated bottling machine for $66,000. The machine would replace an old piece of equipment that costs $17,000 per year to operate. The new machine would cost $8,000 per year to operate. The old machine currently in use is fully depreciated and could be sold now for a salvage value of $29,000. The new machine would have a useful life of 10 years with no salvage value. Required: 1. What is the annual depreciation expense associated with the new bottling machine? 2. What is the annual incremental net operating income provided by the new bottling machine? 3. What is the amount of the initial investment associated with this project that should be used for calculating the simple rate of return? 4. What is the simple rate of return on the new bottling machine? (Round your answer to 1 decimal place i.e. 0.123 should be considered as 12.3%.)
International Soup Company is considering replacing a canning machine. The old machine is being depreciated by the straight-line method over a 10-year recovery period from a depreciable cost basis of $120,000. The old machine has 5 years of remaining usable life, at which time its salvage value is expected to be zero, and it can be sold now for $40,000. This machine has a current book value of $60,000. The purchase price of the new machine is $250,000. Employees were sent to a training course last year on how to use the new machine; this training cost $5,000. The new machine has a 5-year life and an expected salvage value of $25,000. Annual savings of electricity, labor, and materials from use of the new machine are estimated at $40,000. The company is in a 40 percent tax bracket and its cost of capital is 16 percent. The MACRS depreciation method will be used and the recovery percentages for assets with a 5-year class life are given below: What is the initial cash outlay for the…
Pilot Plus Pens is deciding when to replace its old machine. The old machine's current salvage value is $3 million. Its current book value is $2 million. If not sold, the old machine will require maintenance costs of $500,000 at the end of the year for the next five years. Depreciation on the old machine is $400,000 per year. At the end of five years, the old machine will have a salvage value of $400,000 and a book value of $0. A replacement machine costs $4 million now and requires maintenance costs of $350,000 at the end of each year during itsfeconomic life of five years. At the end of the five years, the new machine will have a salvage value of $1,000,000. It will be fully depreciated by the straight-line method. In five years, a replacement machine will cost $5,000,000. Pilot will need to purchase this machine regardless of what choice it makes today. The corporate tax rate is 28 percent and the appropriate discount rate is 10 percent. The company is assumed to earn sufficient…

BSU Inc. wants to purchase a new machine for $29,300, excluding $1,500 of installation costs. The old machine was bought five years ago and had an expected economic life of 10 years without salvage value. This old machine now has a book value of $2,000, and BSU Inc. expects to sell it for that amount. The new machine would decrease operating costs by $7,000 each year of its economic life.

Riverbed, a large manufacturing company, currently uses a large printing press in its operations and is considering two replacements: the PDX341 and PDW581. The PDX costs $493,000 and has annual maintenance costs of $9,300 for the first 5 years and $14,300 for the next 10 years. After 15 years, the PDX will be scrapped (salvage value is zero). In contrast, the PDW can be acquired for $123,250 and requires maintenance of $28,600 a year for its 10-year life. The salvage value of the PDW is expected to be zero in 10 years. Assuming that Riverbed must replace its current printing press (it has stopped functioning), has a(n) 10-percent cost of capital, and all cash flows are after tax, which replacement press is the most appropriate? (Round answers to 2 decimal places, e.g. 125.25.) Chain Replication Approach: NPV of PDX341 $ NPV of PDW581 $ We would prefer Equivalent Annual NPV Approach: Equivalent Annual NPV of PDX341 $ Equivalent Annual NPV of PDW581 $ We would prefer
Metlock Inc. wants to replace its current equipment with new high-tech equipment. The existing equipment was purchased 5 years ago at a cost of $121,000. At that time, the equipment had an expected life of 10 years, with no expected salvage value. The equipment is being depreciated on a straight-line basis. Currently, the market value of the old equipment is $43.500. The new equipment can be bought for $173,440, including installation. Over its 10-year life, it will reduce operating expenses from $190,600 to $148,700 for the first six years, and from $202,600 to $191,800 for the last four years. Net working capital requirements will also increase by $20,900 at the time of replacement. It is estimated that the company can sell the new equipment for $24,100 at the end of its life. Since the new equipment's cash flows are relatively certain, the project's cost of capital is set at 10%, compared with 15% for an average-risk project. The firm's maximum acceptable payback period is 5 years.…
