Komatsu Cutting Technologies is considering replacing one of its CNC machines with one that is newer and more efficient. The firm purchased the CNC machine 10 years ago at a cost of $150,000. The machine had an expected economic life of 12 years at the time of purchase and an expected salvage value of $12,000 at the end of the 12 years. The original salvage estimate is still good, and the machine has a remaining useful life of 2 years. The firm can sell this old machine now to another firm in the industry for $35,000. A new machine can be purchased for $175,000, including installation costs. It has an estimated useful (economic) life of 8 years. The new machine is expected to reduce the cash operating expenses by $30,000 per year over its 8-year life, at the end of which the machine is estimated to be worth only $5000. The company has a MARR of 12%. The asset is classified as a Class 43 Property with a CCA rate of %30. The firm's marginal tax rate is 40%. Compute the cash flows…
Chatham Automotive purchased new electric forklifts to move steel automobile parts two years ago. They cost $65,000 each, including the charging stand. In practice, it was found that they did not hold a charge as long as claimed by the manufacturer, so operating costs are very high. As a result, their current salvage value is about $9,000. Chatham is considering replacing them with propane models. New propane forklifts cost $58,000 each. After one year, they have a salvage value of $40,000, and thereafter decline in value at a declining-balance depreciation rate of 20 percent, as does the electric model from this time on. The MARR is 8 percent. Operating costs for the electric model will be $19,000 this year, rising by 12 percent per year. Operating costs for the propane model will initially be $11,000 over the first year, rising by 12 percent per year. Should Chatham Automotive replace the forklifts now?
