ABC Manufacturing expects to sell 1,025 units of product in 2023 at an average price of $100,000 per unit based on current demand. The Chief Marketing Officer forecasts growth of 50 units per year through 2027. So, the demand will be 1,025 units in 2023, 1,075 units in 2024, etc. and the $100,000 price will remain consistent for all five years of the investment life. However, ABC cannot produce more than 1,000 units annually based on current capacity. In order to meet demand, ABC must either update the current plant or replace it. The old equipment is fully depreciated and can be sold for $4,000,000 if the plant is replaced. If the plant is updated, the costs to update it would be capitalized and depreciated over the useful life of the updated plant. If the plant is updated, then the old equipment would be retained. The following table summarizes the…
ABC Manufacturing expects to sell 1,025 units of product in 2022 at an average price of $100,000 each based on current demand. The Chief Marketing Officer forecasts growth of 50 units per year through 2026. So, the demand will be 1,025 units in 2022, 1,075 units in 2023, etc. and the $100,000 price will remain consistent for all five years of the investment life. However, ABC cannot produce more than 1,000 units annually based on current capacity. In order to meet demand, ABC must either update the current plant or replace it. If the plant is replaced, an initial working capital investment of $6,000,000 is required and these funds will be released at the end of the investment life to be used elsewhere. The following table summarizes the projected data for both options: Update Replace Initial investment in 2022 $ 125,000,000 $ 130,000,000 Terminal salvage value in 2026 $ 8,000,000 $…
