Esquire Company needs to acquire a molding machine to be used in its manufacturing process. Two types of machines that would be appropriate are presently on the market. The company has determined the following: (FV of $1, PV of $1, FVA of $1, PVA of $1, FVAD of $1 and PVAD of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.) Machine A could be purchased for $60,500. It will last 10 years with annual maintenance costs of $2,100 per year. After 10 years the machine can be sold for $6,050. Machine B could be purchased for $55,000. It also will last 10 years and will require maintenance costs of $8,400 in year three, $10,500 in year six, and $12,600 in year eight. After 10 years, the machine will have no salvage value. Required:Assume an interest rate of 8% properly reflects the time value of money in this situation and that maintenance costs are paid at the end of each year. Ignore income tax considerations. Calculate the present value of Machine A & Machine B. Which machine…

Jonfran Company manufactures three different models of paper shredders including the waste container, which serves as the base. While the shredder heads are different for all three models, the waste container is the same. The number of waste containers that Jonfran will need during the following years is estimated as follows: The equipment used to manufacture the waste container must be replaced because it is broken and cannot be repaired. The new equipment would have a purchase price of 945,000 with terms of 2/10, n/30; the companys policy is to take all purchase discounts. The freight on the equipment would be 11,000, and installation costs would total 22,900. The equipment would be purchased in December 20x4 and placed into service on January 1, 20x5. It would have a five-year economic life and would be treated as three-year property under MACRS. This equipment is expected to have a salvage value of 12,000 at the end of its economic life in 20x9. The new equipment would be more efficient than the old equipment, resulting in a 25 percent reduction in both direct materials and variable overhead. The savings in direct materials would result in an additional one-time decrease in working capital requirements of 2,500, resulting from a reduction in direct material inventories. This working capital reduction would be recognized at the time of equipment acquisition. The old equipment is fully depreciated and is not included in the fixed overhead. The old equipment from the plant can be sold for a salvage amount of 1,500. Rather than replace the equipment, one of Jonfrans production managers has suggested that the waste containers be purchased. One supplier has quoted a price of 27 per container. This price is 8 less than Jonfrans current manufacturing cost, which is as follows: Jonfran uses a plantwide fixed overhead rate in its operations. If the waste containers are purchased outside, the salary and benefits of one supervisor, included in fixed overhead at 45,000, would be eliminated. There would be no other changes in the other cash and noncash items included in fixed overhead except depreciation on the new equipment. Jonfran is subject to a 40 percent tax rate. Management assumes that all cash flows occur at the end of the year and uses a 12 percent after-tax discount rate. Required: 1. Prepare a schedule of cash flows for the make alternative. Calculate the NPV of the make alternative. 2. Prepare a schedule of cash flows for the buy alternative. Calculate the NPV of the buy alternative. 3. Which should Jonfran domake or buy the containers? What qualitative factors should be considered? (CMA adapted)
Mehmet Group wants to produce the M machines used in the casting industry in the Big Industry. The planned annual production and sales amount is 20,000 units and the sales price is calculated as "cost x 1.35". Information about this investment and production is given below. What is the sales price per unit of this project? What is the present and future value of the project's profit?

A distributor of fasteners is opening a new plant and considering whether to use a mechanized process or a manual process to package the product. The manual process will have a fixed cost of $36,234 and a variable cost of $2.14 per bag. The mechanized process would have a fixed cost of $84,420 and a variable cost of $1.85 per bag. The company expects to sell each bag of fasteners for $2.75. a) What is the break-even point for the manual process (in units)? b) What is the break-even point for the mechanized process (in units)? c) A point of indifference for two processes is quantity at which each process generates the same amount of profit (review video). What is the point of indifference for the two processes? (Hint: 1) Use equations to set profit of manual process equal to mechanized process and solve for quantity; 2) (Excel) If you have a break-even for each process - have only one cell that represents quantity that be used to calculates costs/revenues for each process and use Goal…
Road master shocks has 15000 units of a defective product on hand that costs $80,000 to manufacture.

A car manufacturing company analyzes the possibility of manufacturing the gas cap of their cars. Currently, the company buys at $8 each stopper to a supplier. The manufacture of such a stopper would imply that the company will buy a machine whose cost would be $3,300,000 and salvage value after 5 years of use would be $100,000. Also, to operate and maintain this machinery, the company incurred annual fixed costs of $500,000 and variable costs of $5/cap. If the company needs 500,000 caps a year and The Trema that applies is 15% per year, what decision would be more profitable for the company: continue to buy gas caps or manufacture them? Solve the problem using the IRR criterion.
