  1. Differential Analysis for Machine Replacement Proposal

    Flint Tooling Company is considering replacing a machine that has been used in its factory for two years. Relevant data associated with the operations of the old machine and the new machine, neither of which has any estimated residual value, are as follows:

    Old Machine
    Cost of machine, eight-year life $38,000
    Annual depreciation (straight-line) 4,750
    Annual manufacturing costs, excluding depreciation 12,400
    Annual nonmanufacturing operating expenses 2,700
    Annual revenue 32,400
    Current estimated selling price of the machine 12,900
       
    New Machine
    Cost of machine, six-year life $57,000
    Annual depreciation (straight-line) 9,500
    Estimated annual manufacturing costs, exclusive of depreciation 3,400

     

    Annual nonmanufacturing operating expenses and revenue are not expected to be affected by purchase of the new machine.

The analysis should indicate the differential income that would result over the six-year period if the new machine is acquired. If an amount is zero, enter zero "0". Use a minus sign to indicate a loss.
