Chapter 7, Problem 7.1DI
Nathan T Corporation is comparing two different options. Nathan T currently uses Option 1, with revenues of $65,000 per year, maintenance expenses of $5,000 per year, and operating expenses of $26,000 per year. Option 2 provides revenues of $60,000 per year, maintenance expenses of $5,000 per year, and operating expenses of $22,000 per year. Option 1 employs a piece of equipment which was upgraded 2 years ago at a cost of $17,000. If Option 2 is chosen, it will free up resources that will bring in an additional $4,000 of revenue. Complete the following table to show the change in income from choosing Option 2 versus Option 1. Designate Sunk costs with an “S.”

Fudd and Nephews, Inc., purchased a small excavator for $100,000 two years ago. The excavatorwas supposed to generate a net benefit of $30,000 per year, but it has generated only $5,000 peryear. It is expected to generate the same amount of net benefit of $5,000 for the next four years,with a negligible market value after these four years. Another contractor offers to purchase themachine for $15,000 now. Fudd can get 13.0% on his investments. Should he sell the machine, orkeep using it for the remaining of its economic life?

- Dauten is offered a replacement machine which has a cost of 8,000, an estimated useful life of 6 years, and an estimated salvage value of 800. The replacement machine is eligible for 100% bonus depreciation at the time of purchase- The replacement machine would permit an output expansion, so sales would rise by 1,000 per year; even so, the new machines much greater efficiency would cause operating expenses to decline by 1,500 per year The new machine would require that inventories be increased by 2,000, but accounts payable would simultaneously increase by 500. Dautens marginal federal-plus-state tax rate is 25%, and its WACC is 11%. Should it replace the old machine?arrow_forwardFilkins Fabric Company is considering the replacement of its old, fully depreciated knitting machine. Two new models are available: Machine 190-3, which has a cost of $190,000, a 3-year expected life, and after-tax cash flows (labor savings and depreciation) of $87,000 per year; and Machine 360-6, which has a cost of $360,000, a 6-year life, and after-tax cash flows of $98,300 per year. Knitting machine prices are not expected to rise because inflation will be offset by cheaper components (microprocessors) used in the machines. Assume that Filkins’ cost of capital is 14%. Should the firm replace its old knitting machine? If so, which new machine should it use? By how much would the value of the company increase if it accepted the better machine? What is the equivalent annual annuity for each machine?arrow_forwardScription Inc. has additional cash available for investment and considers replacing the old factory equipment with a new one. There are two options for Scription. One option is to purchase a new equipment from Supplier A for $100,000. Supplier A equipment has a useful life of 10 years with after-tax residual value, $5,000 and can save $60,000 annually. The other option is with Supplier B. Supplier B would charge $120,000 for a new equipment. Supplier B equipment would generate $50,000 annual cost saving. Its useful life is 12 years and the after-tax residual value of $6,000. Assume the required rate of return for both options is 8%. Using NPV method, determine which option is the more attractive. Must show your computation steps. Use the appropriate tables in Appendix A to obtain the relevant present value factor and round up your final answer to the nearest dollar.arrow_forward
- Trailer Treasures Inc. is considering two projects and must do one of them. Project A requires an investment of $35,000.

The current machine was purchased 3 years ago for $6,000 and falls into the MACRS 3-year class. It has 3 years of remaining life and a $600 salvage value three years from now. The current market value of the older machine is $2,000. Alternatively, the company could purchase a new machine for $11,600. Delivery of the new machine would cost $200 and installation would cost $200. The new machine is expected to increase inventory needs by $800, and accounts payable is expected to increase by $600. The new machine falls in the MACRS 3-year class, has a 3-year economic life and a salvage value at the end of 3 years of $7,000. It is expected to increase revenue by $3,500 per year and is expected to decrease costs by $2,500 per year. The firm has a 40 % tax rate and a cost of capital of 12%.
