Average rate of returncost savings Maui Fabricators Inc. is considering an investment in equipment that will replace direct labor. The equipment has a cost of 125,000 with a 15,000 residual value and an eight-year life. The equipment will replace one employee who has an average wage of 28,000 per year. In addition, the equipment will have operating and energy costs of 5,150 per year. Determine the average rate of return on the equipment, giving effect to straight-line depreciation on the investment.
Use the information in Problem A-1 to solve this problem. Assume the delivery van is expected to have a useful life of 100,000 miles (Year 1, 40,000 miles; Year 2, 30,000 miles; Year 3, 20,000 miles; Year 4, 10,000 miles). Required Prepare a schedule of depreciation using the units-of-production method. Check Figure Year 3 depreciation, 3,200 PROBLEM A-1 A delivery van was bought for 18,000. The estimated life of the van is four years. The trade-in value at the end of four years is estimated to be 2,000.
An auto repair company needs a new machine that will check for defective sensors. The machine has an Initial investment of $224,000. Incremental revenues, including cost savings, are $120,000, and Incremental expenses, including depreciation, are $50,000. There is no salvage value. What is the accounting rate of return (ARR)?
Newmarge Products Inc. is evaluating a new design for one of its manufacturing processes. The new design will eliminate the production of a toxic solid residue. The initial cost of the system is estimated at 860,000 and includes computerized equipment, software, and installation. There is no expected salvage value. The new system has a useful life of 8 years and is projected to produce cash operating savings of 225,000 per year over the old system (reducing labor costs and costs of processing and disposing of toxic waste). The cost of capital is 16%. Required: 1. Compute the NPV of the new system. 2. One year after implementation, the internal audit staff noted the following about the new system: (1) the cost of acquiring the system was 60,000 more than expected due to higher installation costs, and (2) the annual cost savings were 20,000 less than expected because more labor cost was needed than anticipated. Using the changes in expected costs and benefits, compute the NPV as if this information had been available one year ago. Did the company make the right decision? 3. CONCEPTUAL CONNECTION Upon reporting the results mentioned in the postaudit, the marketing manager responded in a memo to the internal audit department indicating that cash inflows also had increased by a net of 60,000 per year because of increased purchases by environmentally sensitive customers. Describe the effect that this has on the analysis in Requirement 2. 4. CONCEPTUAL CONNECTION Why is a postaudit beneficial to a firm?
Differential analysis for machine replacement Boyer Digital Components Company assembles circuit boards by using a manually operated machine to insert electronic components. The original cost of the machine is 60,000, the accumulated depreciation is 24,000, its remaining useful life is five years, and its residual value is negligible. On May 4 of the current year, a proposal was made to replace the present manufacturing procedure with a fully automatic machine that has a purchase price of 180,000. The automatic machine has an estimated useful life of five years and no significant residual value. For use in evaluating the proposal, the accountant accumulated the following annual data on present and proposed operations: a. Prepare a differential analysis dated May 4 to determine whether to continue with ( Alternative 1) or replace (Alternative 2) the old machine. Prepare the analysis over the useful life of the new machine. b. Based only on the data presented, should the proposal be accepted? c. What are some of the other factors that should be considered before a final decision is made?
Dunedin Drilling Company recently acquired a new machine at a cost of 350,000. The machine has an estimated useful life of four years or 100,000 hours, and a salvage value of 30,000. This machine will be used 30,000 hours during Year 1, 20,000 hours in Year 2, 40,000 hours in Year 3, and 10,000 hours in Year 4. With DEPREC5 still on the screen, click the Chart sheet tab. This chart shows the accumulated depreciation under all three depreciation methods. Identify below the depreciation method that each represents. Series 1 _____________________ Series 2 _____________________ Series 3 _____________________ When the assignment is complete, close the file without saving it again. Worksheet. The problem thus far has assumed that assets are depreciated a full year in the year acquired. Normally, depreciation begins in the month acquired. For example, an asset acquired at the beginning of April is depreciated for only nine months in the year of acquisition. Modify the DEPREC2 worksheet to include the month of acquisition as an additional item of input. To demonstrate proper handling of this factor on the depreciation schedule, modify the formulas for the first two years. Some of the formulas may not actually need to be revised. Do not modify the formulas for Years 3 through 8 and ignore the numbers shown in those years. Some will be incorrect as will be some of the totals. Preview the printout to make sure that the worksheet will print neatly on one page, and then print the worksheet. Save the completed file as DEPRECT. Hint: Insert the month in row 6 of the Data Section specifying the month by a number (e.g., April is the fourth month of the year). Redo the formulas for Years 1 and 2. For the units of production method, assume no change in the estimated hours for both years. Chart. Using the DEPREC5 file, prepare a line chart or XY chart that plots annual depreciation expense under all three depreciation methods. No Chart Data Table is needed; use the range B29 to E36 on the worksheet as a basis for preparing the chart if you prepare an XY chart. Use C29 to E36 if you prepare a line chart. Enter your name somewhere on the chart. Save the file again as DEPREC5. Print the chart.
Use Service-Output Method. A Machine costs ₱80,000 and an estimated life of 10 years with a salvage value of ₱5,000. Assuming that the total service of the machine is 1,497,600 hours and the number of working days per year is 260 days. What is the book value after 4 years if the machine production time a is 24 hours? Answer: BV4 = P 78,750.00Show Solution
SUBJECT: ENGINEERING ECONOMICS PLEASE PROVIDE A COMPLETE SOLUTION FOR LETTERS C, D, AND E. THE FINAL ANSWER IS ALREADY GIVEN. THANK YOU A Machine costs ₱80,000 and an estimated life of 10 years with a salvage value of ₱5,000. What is the book value after 5 years using the following methodology?
Calculating EAC You are evaluating two different silicon wafer milling machines. The Techron I costs $265,000, has a 3-year life, and has pretax operating costs of $41,000 per year. The Techron II costs $330,000, has a 5-year life, and has pretax operating costs of $52,000 per year. For both milling machines, use straight-line depreciation to zero over the project’s life and assume a salvage value of $25,000. If your tax rate is 21 percent and your discount rate is 9 percent, compute the EAC for both machines. Which do you prefer? Why?
Engineering Economics 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%.
