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?
Filkins 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?
DelRay Foods must purchase a new gumdrop machine. Two machines are available. Machine 7745 has a first cost of $10,000, an estimated life of 10 years, a salvage value of $1,000, and annual operating costs estimated at $0.01 per 1,000 gumdrops. Machine A37Y has a first cost of $8,000, a life of 10 years, and no salvage value. Its annual operating costs will be $300 regardless of the number of gumdrops produced. MARR is 6%/year, and 30 million gumdrops are produced each year. Solve, a. What is the annual worth of each machine? b. What is the decision rule for determining the preferred machine based on annual worth ranking? c. Which machine should be recommended?

Commercial Hydronics is considering replacing one of its larger control devices. A new unit sells for $32,000 (delivered). An additional $4,000 will be needed to install the device. The new device has an estimated 18-year service life. The estimated salvage value at the end of 18 years will be $2,000. The new control device will be depreciated as a 7-year MACRS asset. The existing control device (original cost = $15,000) has been in use for 9 years, and it has been fully depreciated (that is, its book value equals zero). Its scrap value is estimated to be $2,500. The existing device could be used indefinitely, assuming the firm is willing to pay for its very high maintenance costs. The firm's marginal tax rate is 40 percent. The new control device requires lower maintenance costs and frees up personnel who normally would have to monitor the system. Estimated annual cash savings from the new device will be $5,000. The firm's cost of capital is 10 percent. What is the NPV?

Esteez Construction Company has an overhead crane that has an estimated remaining life of 7 years. The crane can be sold for $14,000. If the crane is kept in service it must be overhauled immediately at a cost of $6,000.Operating and maintenance costs will be $5,000/year after the crane is overhauled. After overhauling it, the crane will have a zero salvage value at the end of the 7-year period. A new crane will cost $36,000, will last for 7 years, and will have an $8,000 salvage value at that time. Operating and maintenance costs are $2,500 for the new crane. Esteez uses an interest rate of 15% in evaluating investment alternatives. Should the company buy the new crane based upon an annual cost analysis? Solve, a. Use the cash flow approach. b. Use the opportunity cost approach.
A company is considering purchasing a new machine. The machine costs P50,000 and requires installation costs of P2,500. This outlay would be partially offset by the sale of an existing machine. The existing machine originally cost P10,000 and is four years old. It is being depreciated under MACRS using a five‑year recovery schedule and can currently be sold for P15,000. The existing gluer has a remaining useful life of five years. If held until year 5, the existing machine's market value would be zero. Over its five‑year life, the new machine should reduce operating costs (excluding depreciation) by P17,000 per year. Training costs of employees who will operate the new machine will be a one‑time cost of P5,000 which should be included in the initial outlay. The new machine will be depreciated under MACRS using a five‑year recovery period. The firm has a 12 percent cost of capital and a 40 percent tax on ordinary income and capital gains.

Two stamping machines are under consideration for purchase by a metal recycling company. The manual model will cost P1,250,000 to buy with an eight-year life and a P250,000 salvage value. Its annual operating costs will be P800,000. A computer-controlled model will cost P4,750,000 to buy and it will have a twelve-year life if upgraded at the end of year six for 750,000. Its terminal salvage value will be P1,150,000, with annual operating costs of P375,500 for labor and P125,000 for maintenance. The company's minimum attractive rate of return is 18%.
