- Aria Acoustics, Incorporated (AAI), projects unit sales for a new seven-octave voice emulation implant as follows: Year Unit Sales 1 74,200 2 87,200 3 106,500 4 98,800 5 67,900 Production of the implants will require $1,800,000 in net working capital to start and additional net working capital investments each year equal to 20 percent of the projected sales increase for the following year. Total fixed costs are $3,800,000 per year, variable production costs are $261 per unit, and the units are priced at $393 each. The equipment needed to begin production has an installed cost of $17,700,000. Because the implants are intended for professional singers, this equipment is considered industrial machinery and thus qualifies as seven-year MACRS property. In five years, this equipment can be sold for about 25 percent of its acquisition cost. The tax rate is 21 percent and the required return is 18 percent.

"That's a lot of money, and it would cost us $78,000 for software and installation, and another $40,800 per year just to maintain the thing. In addition, the manufacturer admits it would cost $41,000 more at the end of three years to replace worn-out parts." "I admit it's a lot of money," said Franci Rogers, the controller. “But you know the turnover problem we’ve had with the welding crew. This machine would replace six welders at a cost savings of $108,000 per year. And we would save another $6,900 per year in reduced material waste. When you figure that the automated welder would last for six years, I'm sure the return would be greater than our 19% required rate of return." "I'm still not convinced," countered Mr. Alder. "We can only get $14,000 scrap value out of our old welding equipment if we sell it now, and in six years the new machine will…arrow_forward
