Sandhill Roofing is faced with a decision. The company relies very heavily on the use of its 60-foot extension lift for work on large homes and commercial properties. Last year, Sandhill Roofing spent $71,400 refurbishing the lift. It has just determined that another $37,000 of repair work is required. Alternatively, it has found a newer used lift that is for sale for $156,500. The company estimates that both lifts would have useful lives of 5 years. The new lift is more efficient and thus would reduce operating expenses from $100,000 to $76,200 each year. Sandhill Roofing could also rent out the new lift for about $9,000 per year. The old lift is not suitable for rental. The old lift could currently be sold for $23,000 if the new lift is purchased. The new lift and old lift are estimated to have salvage values of zero if used for another 6 years. Prepare an incremental analysis showing whether the company should repair or replace the equipment. (Enter negative amounts using either a negative sign preceding the number e.g. -45 or parentheses e.g. (45).)

Your Corporation bought a stamping machine to make the cans. The cost of the machine was $60,000. The machine has a useful life of 5 years and a salvage value of zero at the end of those five years. The variable manufacturing cost of producing the cans is $0.05 per can. The only fixed manufacturing cost is the annual depreciation of $12,000 on the stamping machine. Your Corporation needs 200,000 cans annually. Another Company recently offered to supply all of the can needs for the next four years at $0.07 per can. If Your Company buys the cans, it can sell the stamping machine right now for $35,000. If Your Company buys the cans, what will be the total dollar increase or decrease in income for the total four years? Enter an incrase as a positve number. Enter a decrease with a minus sign in front.
Waterway Inc. manufactures snowsuits. Waterway is considering purchasing a new sewing machine at a cost of $2.45 million. Its existing machine was purchased five years ago at a price of $1.8 million; six months ago, Waterway spent $55,000 to keep it operational. The existing sewing machine can be sold today for $243,257. The new sewing machine would require a one-time, $85,000 training cost. Operating costs would decrease by the following amounts for years 1 to 7: Year 1 $390,900 2 399,900 3 410,400 4 425,200 5 432,600 435,300 7 437,700 The new sewing machine would be depreciated according to the declining-balance method at a rate of 20%. The salvage value is expected to be $379,700. This new equipment would require maintenance costs of $98,400 at the end of the fifth year. The cost of capital is 9%. Click here to view PV table.

Management of Plascencia Corporation is considering whether to purchase a new model 370 machine costing $511,000 or a new model 220 machine costing $471,000 to replace a machine that was purchased 7 years ago for $503,000. The old machine was used to make product I43L until it broke down last week. Unfortunately, the old machine cannot be repaired. Management has decided to buy the new model 220 machine. It has less capacity than the new model 370 machine, but its capacity is sufficient to continue making product I43L. Management also considered, but rejected, the alternative of simply dropping product I43L. If that were done, instead of investing $471,000 in the new machine, the money could be invested in a project that would return a total of $479,000. In making the decision to invest in the model 220 machine, the opportunity cost was: Multiple Choice $503,000 $471,000 $511,000 $479,000
Cari Heat (CH) Ltd. is currently faced with a critical decision regarding its production equipment. Cari Heat (CH) is evaluating two options for its production equipment: upgrading or replacing. The company manufactures and sells 7,500 heaters every year, each priced at $920. The current production equipment, which was acquired at a cost of $2,150,000, has been in use for just two years and is subject to straight-line depreciation over a five-year useful life. Furthermore, it possesses no terminal disposal value, but it can be currently sold for $650,000. The following table presents data for the two alternatives: ABC 1 Choice Upgrade Replace 2 One-time equipment costs $3,500,0003 Variable manufacturing cost per Heater $180 $90 4 Remaining useful life of equipment (years) 3 3 5 Terminal disposal value of equipment 0 0 Required 1. Prepare a schedule, for the remaining 3 years, reflecting whether CH should upgrade its production line or replace it?

Tanaka Industrial Systems Company is trying to decide between two different conveyor belt systems. System A costs $360,000, has a 4-year life, and requires $149,000 in pretax annual operating costs. System B costs $440,000, has a 6-year life, and requires $143,000 in pretax annual operating costs. Both systems are to be depreciated straight- line to zero over their lives and will have zero salvage value. Suppose the company always needs a conveyor belt system; when one wears out, it must be replaced. Assume the tax rate is 24 percent and the discount rate is 10 percent. Calculate the EAC for both conveyor belt systems. (A negative answer should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) Answer is complete but not entirely correct. System A -650,486.43 X System B -836,677.14 X $ $
Parker & Stone, Inc., is looking at setting up a new manufacturing plant in South Park to produce garden tools. The company bought some land 12 years ago for $3,776,276 in anticipation of using it as a warehouse and distribution site, but the company has since decided to rent these facilities from a competitor instead. If the land were sold today, the company would net $3,278,390. An engineer was hired to study the land at a cost of $748,629, and her conclusion was that the land can support the new manufacturing facility. The company wants to build its new manufacturing plant on this land; the plant will cost $5,555,713 million to build, and the site requires $1,384,583 worth of grading before it is suitable for construction. What is the proper cash flow amount to use as the initial investment in fixed assets when evaluating this project?
