Chapter 21, Problem 21.33E
Selling a plant, income taxes. (CMA, adapted) The Cook Company is a national portable building manufacturer. Its Benton plant will become idle on December 31, 2017. Mary Carter, the corporate controller has been asked to look at three options regarding the plant:
- Option 1: The plant, which has been fully
depreciated for tax purposes, can be sold immediately for $750,000. - Option 2: The plant can be leased to the Timber Corporation, one of Cook’s suppliers, for 4 years. Under the lease terms, Timber would pay Cook $175,000 rent per year (payable at year-end) and would grant Cook a $60,000 annual discount from the normal price of lumber purchased by Cook. (Assume that the discount is received at year-end for each of the 4 years.) Timber would bear all of the plant’s ownership costs. Cook expects to sell this plant for $250,000 at the end of the 4-year lease.
- Option 3: The plant could be used for 4 years to make porch swings as an accessory to be sold with a portable building. Fixed overhead costs (a
cash outflow ) before any equipment upgrades are estimated to be $22,000 annually for the 4-year period. The swings are expected to sell for $45 each. Variable cost per unit is expected to be $22. The following production and sales of swings are expected: 2018, 12,000 units; 2019, 18,000 units: 2020, 15,000 units; 2021, 8,000 units. In order to manufacture the swings, some of the plant equipment would need to be upgraded at an immediate cost of $180,000. The equipment would be depreciated using thestraight-line depreciation method and zero terminal disposal value over the 4 years it would be in use. Because of the equipment upgrades, Cook could sell the plant for $320,000 at the end of 4 years. No change inworking capital would be required.
Cook Company treats all
- 1. Calculate
net present value of each of the options and determine which option Cook should select using the NPV criterion.Required
- 2. What nonfinancial factors should Cook consider before making its choice?

- 2 While developing a new product line, Cook Company spent $3 million two years ago to build a plant for a new product. It then decided not to go forward with the project, so the building is available for sale or for a new product. Cook owns the building free and clear?there is no mortgage on it. Which of the following statements is CORRECT? Answer If the building could be sold, then the after-tax proceeds that would be generated by any such sale should be charged as a cost to any new project that would use it. This is an example of an externality, because the very existence of the building affects the cash flows for any new project that Rowell might consider. Since the building was built in the past, its cost is a sunk cost and thus need not be considered when new projects are being evaluated, even if it would be used by those new projects. If there is a mortgage loan on the building, then the interest on that loan would have to be charged to any new project that used the building.…arrow_forwardWhat is the initial value of land?arrow_forwardCan someone explain to me how is the answer $24480?
