What is the reduction in variable manufacturing cost for alternative a and b
What is the OCF?
Chocoholics Anonymous wants to modernize its production machinery. The company's
sales are $9.22 million per year, and the choice of machine won't impact that amount.
The required return is 10 percent and the tax rate is 35 percent. Both machines will be
depreciated on a straight-line basis.
Machine Amaretto costs $1,950,000 and will last for 5 years. Variable costs are 39
percent of sales, and fixed costs are $131,000 per year.
Machine Baileys costs $4,610,000 and will last for 7 years. Variable costs for this
machine are 31 percent of sales and fixed costs are $103,000 per year.
Required:
(a)If the company plans to replace the machine when it wears out on a perpetual basis,
what is the EAC for machine Amaretto? (Do not round your intermediate
calculations.)
HINT: In EAC problems you first need to find the NPV. Using this NPV you can then
calculate the annuity (annual cost) that has the same present value/cost. The lecture
videos include a detailed example of this calculation.…

- . Myers Corporation is attempting to develop and market a new garden tractor. Fixed cost to develop and produce the new tractor are estimated to $10,000,000 per year. The variable cost to make each tractor has been estimated at $2000. The marketing department has recommended a price of $4000 per tractor. What is the breakeven level of output for the new tractor. 2.

The current output is sold at a price of $12.50 per unit but market research suggests the higher level of output could be sold at a price of $10 per unit. As the existing plant is due to be replaced this year it is a good time to consider the possibility of expansion. The variable cost per unit of the larger plant is $3.50 whereas it is $5.00 for the smaller plant. The larger plant will cost $60,000 and the smaller plant $25,000. Both plants would be depreciated on a straight-line basis for tax purposes over a five-year life, and this also constitutes the expected working life of the plant. All other costs would remain unchanged. The relevant tax rate is 20%. Is the investment in the larger plant worthwhile if the required rate of return is 10%? Please indicate Incremental cash flow.

"At a price of $19 per drum, we would be paying $5.35 less than it costs us to manufacture the drums in our own plant.
