National Chemicals has an automatic chemical mixer that it has been using for the past 4 years. The mixer originally cost $18,000. Today the mixer can be sold for $10,000. The mixer can be used for 10 years more and will have a $2,500 salvage value at that time. The annual operating and maintenance costs for the mixer equal $6,000/year. Because of an increase in business, a new mixer must be purchased. If the old mixer is retained, a new mixer will be purchased at a cost of $25,000 and have a $4,000 salvage value in 10 years. This new mixer will have annual operating and maintenance costs equal to $5,000/year. The old mixer can be sold and a new mixer of larger capacity purchased for $32,000. This mixer will have a $6,000 salvage value in 10 years and will have annual operating and maintenance costs equal to $8,000/year. Based on a MARR of 15% and using an EUAC cash flow approach, what do you recommend?
XYZ Manufacturing Corporation currently has production equipment that has 4 years ofremaining life. The equipment was purchased a year ago at a cost of $10,000. The annual depreciation for this machine is $1,800 and its expected salvage value is $1,000. The equipment can be sold today for $8,000. The company has been considering the purchase of a new machine that will replace the existing one. The new equipment costs $15,000 and would increase sales (through increased production) by $2,000 per year and decrease operating costs by $1,000 per year. The equipment will be worthless after 4 years. The applicable depreciation rates are 0.33, 0.45, 0.15, and 0.07. The company's tax rate is 40 percent and its cost of capital is 12 percent. What is the Net Investment (NINV)
Ultra-clean special handling devices used in the filling process for the manufacture of baby food are placed into use at a cost of $850,000. These devices are expected to be useful for 4 years with a negligible salvage value at that time. Compare MACRS to traditional depreciation methods by calculating yearly depreciation allowances, present worth of the depreciation allowances, and book value for each year using each of the following. MARR is 11%. a. MACRS-GDS as is proper over its property class depreciation life. b. DDB taking a full deduction in the first year, with the last deduction in year 3. c. DDB switching to straight-line, taking a full deduction in the 1st year, with the last deduction in year 3. d. SLN taking a full deduction in the 1st year, with the last deduction in year 3.
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

Solar Innovations Corporation bought a machine at the beginning of the year at a cost of $29,000. The estimated useful life was five years and the residual value was $3,500. Assume that the estimated productive life of the machine is 10,000 units. Expected annual production was year 1, 2,000 units; year 2, 3,000 units; year 3, 2,000 units; year 4, 2,000 units; and year 5, 1,000 units. Required: Complete a depreciation schedule for each of the alternative methods.a. Straight-line.b. Units-of-production.c. Double-declining-balance. Which method will result in the highest net income in year 2? Does this higher net income mean the machine was used more efficiently under this depreciation method?
