- Current Attempt in Progress Your answer is partially correct. Vaughn Inc. owns and operates a number of hardware stores in the New England region. Recently, the company has decided to locate another store in a rapidly growing area of Maryland. The company is trying to decide whether to purchase or lease the building and related facilities. Purchase: The company can purchase the site, construct the building, and purchase all store fixtures. The cost would be $1,865,700. An immediate down payment of $415,500 is required, and the remaining $1,450,200 would be paid off over 5 years at $369,000 per year (including interest payments made at end of year). The property is expected to have a useful life of 12 years, and then it will be sold for $508,900.

My answer is wrong Required information Vancouver Shakespearean Theater's board of directors is considering the replacement of the theater's lighting system. The old system requires two people to operate it, but the new system would require only a single operator. The new lighting system will cost $115,700 and save the theater $24,000 annually for the next eight years. Use Appendix A for your reference. (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.) Suppose the Vancouver Shakespearean Theater's board is uncertain about the cost savings with the new lighting system. Required: How low could the new lighting system's annual savings be and still justify acceptance of the proposal by the board of directors? Assume the theater's hurdle rate is 12 percent. (Round final answer to 2 decimal places.) X Answer is complete but not entirely correct. Annual $ 27,829.36 x savingsarrow_forward
- Net Present Value and Competing Alternatives Stillwater Designs has been rebuilding Model 100, Model 120, and Model 150 Kicker sub-woofers that were returned for warranty action. Customers returning the subwoofers receive a new replacement. The warrant)' returns are then rebuilt and resold (as seconds). Tent sales are often used to sell the rebuilt speakers. As part of the rebuilding process, the speakers are demagnetized so that metal pieces and shavings can be removed. A demagnetizing (demag) machine is used to achieve this objective. A product design change has made the most recent Model 150 speakers too tall for the demag machine. They no longer fit in the demag machine. Stillwater Designs is currently considering two alternatives. First, a new demag machine can be bought that has a different design, eliminating the fit problem. The cost of this machine is 600,000, and it will last 5 years. Second, Stillwater can keep the current machine and sell the 150 speakers for scrap, using the old demag machine for the Model 100 and 120 speakers only. A rebuilt speaker sells for 295 and costs 274.65 to rebuild (for materials, labor, and overhead cash outlays). The 274.65 outlay includes the annual operating cash effects of the new demag machine. If not rebuilt, the Model 150 speakers can be sold for 4 each as scrap. There are 10,000 Model 150 warranty returns per year. Assume that the required rate of return is 10%. Required: 1. Determine which alternative is the best for Stillwater Designs by using NPV analysis. 2. CONCEPTUAL CONNECTION Determine which alternative is best for Stillwater Designs by using an IRR analysis. Explain why NPV analysis is a better approach.arrow_forwardA refinisher of antiques named Constance has been so successful with her small business that she is planning to expand her shop.

She has decided to reevaluate the compensation plan offered to her sales representatives to determine whether the plan encourages the dealership’s success. The representatives are paid no salary, but they receive 20% of the sales price of every boat sold, and they have the authority to negotiate the boats’ prices as far down as their wholesale cost if necessary. Required Strategically, is this plan in the dealership’s best interest, and why? a. Yes, because the plan is likely to increase contribution margin. b. No, because the plan is likely to reduce profits. c. No, because the plan is likely to motivate illegal behavior. d. Yes, because the plan is likely to increase profits.arrow_forward

The present manager will continue to supervise the tree services with no reduction in salary.
