A Funiture Factory is considering buying a new automated planing machine for a cost of $80,250. This price includes a complete guarantee of the maintenance costs for the first two years, and it covers a good proportion of the maintenance costs for years 3 and 4. The company’s portion of the maintenance cost is estimated to be $1,000 in year 3 and $3,000 in year 4. Depreciation on the capital cost would be 7% per year. Determine the Economic Life and EAC* of the new machine assuming the MARR is 6.5% and that there will be an installation cost of $2,800. PLEASE PLEASE SHOW FULL DETAILED STEPS
Looner Industries is currently analyzing the purchase of a new machine that costs $158,000 and requires $19,900 in installation costs. Purchase of this machine is expected to result in an increase in net working capital of $29,600 to support the expanded level of operations. The firm plans to depreciate the machine under MACRS using a five-year recovery period (see the table attached for the applicable depreciation percentages) and expects to sell the machine to net $10,300 before taxes at the end of its usable life. The firm is subject to a 21% tax rate c. Assuming a five-year usable life, calculate the terminal cash flow if the machine were sold to net (1) $8,895 or (2) $169,900 (before taxes) at the end of five years. d. Discuss the effect of sale price on terminal cash flow using your findings in part c.
