Den-Tex Company is evaluating a proposal to replace its HID (high intensity discharge) lighting with LED (light emitting diode) lighting throughout its warehouse. LED lighting consumes less power and lasts longer than HID lighting for similar performance. The following information was developed: a. Determine the investment cost for replacing the 700 fixtures. b. Determine the annual utility cost savings from employing the new energy solution. c. Should the proposal be accepted? Evaluate the proposal using net present value, assuming a 15-year life and 8% minimum rate of return. (Present value factors are available in Appendix A.)
Flanders Manufacturing is considering purchasing a new machine that will reduce variable costs per part produced by $0.15. The machine will increase fixed costs by $18,250 per year. The information they will use to consider these changes is shown here. The following names are to be used when completing this problem: Operating Income Variable Costs Sales Fixed Costs per Unit Selling Price per Unit Variable Cost per Unit Contribution Margin Fixed Costs Operating Loss Revised Fixed costs = 56000 + 18250 = $74250 Variable cost per unit = 1.75 - 0.15 = $1.6 per unit Contribution margin per unit = Sales price per unit - Variable cost per unit = 2.15 - 1.6 = $0.55 per unit Breakeven point in units = Fixed costs/ Breakeven point in units = 74250/0.55 = 135000 units Breakeven sales revenue = 135000*2.15 = $290,250 1. Complete the following contribution margin income statement to properly reflect the break-even information given in the problem. Rounded to whole dollars and shown…

Esquire Company needs to acquire a molding machine to be used in its manufacturing process. Two types of machines that would be appropriate are presently on the market. The company has determined the following: (FV of $1, PV of $1, FVA of $1, PVA of $1, FVAD of $1 and PVAD of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.) Machine A could be purchased for $60,500. It will last 10 years with annual maintenance costs of $2,100 per year. After 10 years the machine can be sold for $6,050. Machine B could be purchased for $55,000. It also will last 10 years and will require maintenance costs of $8,400 in year three, $10,500 in year six, and $12,600 in year eight. After 10 years, the machine will have no salvage value. Required:Assume an interest rate of 8% properly reflects the time value of money in this situation and that maintenance costs are paid at the end of each year. Ignore income tax considerations. Calculate the present value of Machine A & Machine B. Which machine…
