Analysis of alternatives
• LO6–3, LO6–7
Esquire Company needs to acquire a molding machine to be used in its manufacturing process. Two types of machines that would be appropriate are presently on the market. The company has determined the following:
Machine A could be purchased for $48,000. It will last 10 years with annual maintenance costs of $1,000 per year. After 10 years the machine can be sold for $5,000.
Machine B could be purchased for $40,000. It also will last 10 years and will require maintenance costs of $4,000 in year three, $5,000 in year six, and $6,000 in year eight. After 10 years, the machine will have no salvage value.
Required:
Determine which machine Esquire should purchase. Assume an interest rate of 8% properly reflects the time value of money in this situation and that maintenance costs are paid at the end of each year. Ignore income tax considerations.

Problem 9
A contractor is considering the following three alternatives:
a. Purchase a new microcomputer system for $15,000. The system is expected to last
6 years with salvage value of $1,000.
b. Lease a new microcomputer system for $3,000 per year, payable in advance. The
system should last 6 years.
c. Purchase a used microcomputer system for $8,200. It is expected to last 3
with no salvage value.
Use a common-multiple-of-lives approach. If MARR of 8% is used, which
alternative should be selected using a discounted present worth analysis? If the
MARR is 12%, which alternate should be selected?

Steadman Company is considering an investment in a new machine for an independent five-year project. The machine’s cost is $837,500 with no salvage value at the end of five years. Net cash inflows from the project are expected to be $252,500 annually. Steadman would depreciate the machine using the MACRS schedule, and the machine qualifies as a 5-year asset. Steadman uses a discount rate of 8%, and its tax rate is 30%.
Required: 1. Determine the after-tax net income and after-tax cash flows from the investment. Refer to Exhibit 12.4 for the 5-year MACRS deprecation schedule.
2. Determine the NPV of the project.
3. Determine the IRR of the project.
4. Determine the payback period of the project, assuming that cash flows occur evenly in each year. 5. Determine the book (accounting) rate of return using both (a) the initial investment as the denominator and (b) the average book value of the investment as the denominator.
