DC Company is considering the purchase of a new machine.
The price of the new machine is $122,000, freight charges are estimated to be $3,000, and installation costs are expected to be $5,000. Salvage value of the new machine is expected to be zero after a useful life of 4 years.
Existing equipment could be retained and used for an additional 4 years if the new machine is not purchased. At that time, the salvage value of the equipment would be zero. If the new machine is purchased now, the existing machine would be scrapped.
DC Co’s accountant, Erica, has accumulated the following data regarding annual sales and expenses with and without the new machine.
Without the new machine, Erica can sell 10,000 units of product annually at a per unit selling price of $100. If the new unit is purchased, the number of units produced and sold would increase by 25%, and the selling price would remain the same.

- REPLACEMENT ANALYSIS St. Johns River Shipyards is considering the replacement of an 8-year-old riveting machine with a new one that will increase earnings from 24,000 to 46,000 per year. The new machine will cost 80,000, and it will have an estimated life of 8 years and no salvage value. The new riveting machine is eligible for 100% bonus depreciation at the time of purchase. The applicable corporate tax rate is 25%, and the firms WACC is 10%. The old machine has been fully depreciated and has no salvage value. Should the old riveting machine be replaced by the new one? Explain your answer.arrow_forwardAlthough the Chen Company’s milling machine is old, it is still in relatively good working order and would last for another 10 years. It is inefficient compared to modern standards, though, and so the company is considering replacing it. The new milling machine, at a cost of $110,000 delivered and installed, would also last for 10 years and would produce after-tax cash flows (labor savings and depreciation tax savings) of $19,000 per year. It would have zero salvage value at the end of its life. The project cost of capital is 10%, and its marginal tax rate is 25%. Should Chen buy the new machine?arrow_forwardFriedman Company is considering installing a new IT system. The cost of the new system is estimated to be 2,250,000, but it would produce after-tax savings of 450,000 per year in labor costs. The estimated life of the new system is 10 years, with no salvage value expected. Intrigued by the possibility of saving 450,000 per year and having a more reliable information system, the president of Friedman has asked for an analysis of the projects economic viability. All capital projects are required to earn at least the firms cost of capital, which is 12 percent. Required: 1. Calculate the projects internal rate of return. Should the company acquire the new IT system? 2. Suppose that savings are less than claimed. Calculate the minimum annual cash savings that must be realized for the project to earn a rate equal to the firms cost of capital. Comment on the safety margin that exists, if any. 3. Suppose that the life of the IT system is overestimated by two years. Repeat Requirements 1 and 2 under this assumption. Comment on the usefulness of this information.arrow_forward
- Dauten is offered a replacement machine which has a cost of 8,000, an estimated useful life of 6 years, and an estimated salvage value of 800. The replacement machine is eligible for 100% bonus depreciation at the time of purchase- The replacement machine would permit an output expansion, so sales would rise by 1,000 per year; even so, the new machines much greater efficiency would cause operating expenses to decline by 1,500 per year The new machine would require that inventories be increased by 2,000, but accounts payable would simultaneously increase by 500. Dautens marginal federal-plus-state tax rate is 25%, and its WACC is 11%. Should it replace the old machine?arrow_forwardFilkins Fabric Company is considering the replacement of its old, fully depreciated knitting machine. Two new models are available: Machine 190-3, which has a cost of $190,000, a 3-year expected life, and after-tax cash flows (labor savings and depreciation) of $87,000 per year; and Machine 360-6, which has a cost of $360,000, a 6-year life, and after-tax cash flows of $98,300 per year. Knitting machine prices are not expected to rise because inflation will be offset by cheaper components (microprocessors) used in the machines. Assume that Filkins’ cost of capital is 14%. Should the firm replace its old knitting machine? If so, which new machine should it use? By how much would the value of the company increase if it accepted the better machine? What is the equivalent annual annuity for each machine?arrow_forwardNewmarge Products Inc. is evaluating a new design for one of its manufacturing processes. The new design will eliminate the production of a toxic solid residue. The initial cost of the system is estimated at 860,000 and includes computerized equipment, software, and installation. There is no expected salvage value. The new system has a useful life of 8 years and is projected to produce cash operating savings of 225,000 per year over the old system (reducing labor costs and costs of processing and disposing of toxic waste). The cost of capital is 16%. Required: 1. Compute the NPV of the new system. 2. One year after implementation, the internal audit staff noted the following about the new system: (1) the cost of acquiring the system was 60,000 more than expected due to higher installation costs, and (2) the annual cost savings were 20,000 less than expected because more labor cost was needed than anticipated. Using the changes in expected costs and benefits, compute the NPV as if this information had been available one year ago. Did the company make the right decision? 3. CONCEPTUAL CONNECTION Upon reporting the results mentioned in the postaudit, the marketing manager responded in a memo to the internal audit department indicating that cash inflows also had increased by a net of 60,000 per year because of increased purchases by environmentally sensitive customers. Describe the effect that this has on the analysis in Requirement 2. 4. CONCEPTUAL CONNECTION Why is a postaudit beneficial to a firm?arrow_forward
- X Company is using a fully depreciated machine having a current market value of 20,000. The salvage value of the machine eight years from now would be zero. The company is considering replacing this machine by a new one costing 1,02, 500, and having an estimated salvage value of 12,500. With the use of the new machine, annual sales are expected to increase from 80,000 to 92, 500. Operating efficiencies with the new machine will save 12,500 per year as operating expenses. Depreciation will be charged on written - down basis at 25 per cent. The cost of capital is 11 per cent. The new machine has a 8-year life and the company's taxation rate is 35 per cent. Assume that book profit or loss from the sale of the asset is taxable at corporate tax rate. Should the company replace the old machine? Show calculations on incremental cash flow basis. How would your decision be affected if another new machine is available at a cost of 1,75,000 with a salvage value of 25,000. The machine is expected…arrow_forwardNEW PROJECT ANALYSIS You must evaluate the purchase of a proposed spectrometer for the R&D department. The base price is $100,000, and it would cost another $15,000 to modify the equipment for special use by the firm. The equipment falls into the MACRS 3-year class and would be sold after 3 years for $45,000. The applicable depreciation rates are 33%, 45%, 15%, and 7%. The equipment would require a $14,000 increase in net operating working capital (spare parts inventory). The project would have no effect on revenues, but it should save the firm $67,000 per year in before-tax labor costs. The firm's marginal federal-plus-state tax rate is 40%. a.

The old machine was being depreciated and has 20% of depreciation yet to be taken. The original cost of the old machine was $500,000 and it can be sold for $90,000. The new machine's depreciation schedule and salvage value are listed below. The new machine will result in annual cost savigns of $200,000.arrow_forwardIllustration: ABC Company is considering the replacement of the current machine with a new one. The old machine has a book value of $0 and a salvage value of $8,000. The new machine would cost $30,000 and will result in an annual savings of $10,000 per year because of improved operating efficiency. It has a useful life of six years and an expected salvage value of $6,000. Straight-line depreciation is used, and the company has a marginal tax rate of 40%. The desired minimum rate of return is 20%. (Note, when evaluating a project that would increase sales or reduce costs, the marginal tax rate should be used.)arrow_forward
