Lewis Securities Inc. has decided to acquire a new market data and quotation system for its Richmond home office.

The system also permits customers to call up current quotes on terminals in the lobby.

If the system were purchased, a 4-year maintenance contract could be obtained at a cost of $20,000 per year, payable at the beginning of each year. The equipment would be sold after 4 years, and the best estimate of its residual value is $200,000. However, because real-time display system technology is…

- You are the manager of Synlait. Your accountant has indicated that one of the milking machines worth $1m needs to be replaced. You as the manager are required to agree to and sign off the purchase of a replacement machine priced at $25m. Before you make the decision, you need to understand the impact of the purchase and its financing on the financial statements. The milking machine will be financed by paying 20% in cash and the balance as a signed note agreeing to pay the balance at the end of the year.

A vendor offers a financing option of a monthly installment of $99 for a period of 24 months. First payment is due at the end of the month of purchase. The vendor will accept either a cash payment upfront or financing over 24 months as mentioned earlier. Rationally, for the vendor, it does not make an economic difference if the customer chooses to pay now or financing (options are equivalent. Therefore, [a] What is the monthly interest rate implied in the vendor's offer?

The software for the new system would cost $214,000. An additional $169,000 would be required for one-time installation costs. Management estimates that the new system would result in costs of $10,300 per year related to addressing software issues and other technological problems that may arise. However, the new system is expected to reduce labour costs by $65,000 per year. Management estimates that the system would be used for five years. Severance costs related to the employees that would be laid off after implementing the new system would be $22,600. Johnson Limited requires a return of at least 15% on investments of this type.
