Management of National Co. is considering whether to purchase a new model MX1 machine costing P460,000 or a new model MY2 machine costing P430,000 to replace a machine that was purchased 7 years ago for P258,000. The old machine was used to make product L360 until it broke down last week. Unfortunately, the old machine cannot be repaired. Management has decided to buy the new model MY2 machine. It has less capacity than the new model MX1 machine, but its capacity is sufficient to continue making product L360. Management also considered, but rejected, the alternative of simply dropping product L360. If that were done, instead of investing P430,000 in the new machine, the money could be invested in a project that would return a total of P411,000. In making the decision to buy the model MY2 machine rather than the model MX1 machine, the differential cost was:
A firm that manufactures paper is considering a project to set up a logging operation. Wood pulp generated by the project - normally an unwanted by-product of a logging operation - is an input to the paper manufacturing process. This will save the company $340,000 in wood pulp purchases, but it will cost $50,000 more to transport the wood pulp to the paper factory than it would cost to dump it as waste. How would you describe this situation in terms of the NPV analysis for the logging operation? Question 2Answer a. There is a positive externality equal to $290,000 which should be included in the NPV analysis. b. There is a positive externality equal to $340,000 which should be included in the NPV analysis. c. There is a negative externality equal to $290,000 which should be included in the NPV analysis. d. There is a negative externality equal to $340,000 which should be included in the NPV analysis.

Carla Vista 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, Carla Vista Roofing spent $77,400 refurbishing the lift. It has just determined that another $45,500 of repair work is required. Alternatively, it has found a newer used lift that is for sale for $194,000. 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 $110,000 to $84,200 each year. Carla Vista Roofing could also rent out the new lift for about $11,500 per year. The old lift is not suitable for rental. The old lift.could currently be sold for $28,500 if the new lift is purchased. The new lift and old lift are estimated to have salvage values of zero if used for another 5 years. Prepare an incremental analysis showing whether the company should repair or replace the equipment.

Mallory’s Video Supply has changed its focus tremendously and as a result has dropped the selling price of DVD players from $45 to $38. Some units in the work-in-process inventory have costs of $30 per unit associated with them, but Mallory can only sell these units in their current state for $22 each. Otherwise, it will cost Mallory $11 per unit to rework these units so that they can be sold for $38 each. How much is the financial impact if the units are processed further? a. $5 per unit profit b. $3 per unit loss c. $16 per unit profit d. $12 per unit loss
