Required information
[The following information applies to the questions displayed below.]
Kate's Candy Corporation makes chewy chocolate candies at a plant in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Steve Bishop,
the production manager at this facility, installed a packaging machine last year at a cost of $600,000. This machine is
expected to last for 10 more years with no residual value. Operating costs for the projected levels of production, before
depreciation, are $120,000 annually.
Steve has just learned of a new packaging machine that would work much more efficiently in the production line. This
machine would cost $696,000 installed, but the annual operating costs would be only $48,000 before depreciation.
This machine would be depreciated over 10 years with no residual value. He could sell the current packaging machine
this year for $300,000.
Steve has worked for Kate's Candy for 7 years. He plans to remain with the firm for about 2 more years, when he
expects to become a vice president…

The manufacturer estimates the machine would be usable for five years but would require replacement of several key parts costing $10,800 at the end of the third year. After five years, the machine could be sold for $5,000. The company estimates the cost to operate the machine will be $8,800 per year. The present labor-intensive method of dipping chocolates costs $48,000 per year. In addition to reducing costs, the new machine will increase production by 4,000 boxes of chocolates per year. The company realizes a contribution margin of $1.40 per box. A 18% rate of return is required on all investments. Click here to view Exhibit 14B-1 and Exhibit 14B-2, to determine the appropriate discount factor(s) using tables. Required: 1.
