Stephen Herron, owner of a small manufacturer, Isis Technology (IT), has asked you to provide your opinion on the options available to replace an old machine. Two suppliers have provided price and cost estimates. The supplier of the old machine, Canadian Equipment Inc. (CEI), has improved its equipment but continues with the same specialized design. A new supplier, Alto Design Equipment (ADE), has a new innovative design that can process any one of the products produced by IT.
Stephen is excited about the new design. Its products usually have a short life cycle where sales increase for five years and then decline. IT could use the new design proposed by ADE to process its products that will stabilize output over the next five years. IT’s cost of capital is 11%. After careful analysis of the two designs, he prepares the following forecast of the expected cash flows.

- A supplier of metal aluminium serving a Coca-Cola bottler in a large country in Latin America builds a plant along with associated production equipment at an annualised investment cost of 28 million per year. The plant slocated directly next to the Coca- Cola bottler's bottling factory, which economises on transportation costs. The marginal cost of producing a can is $0.3 per can. Under a proposed contract, Coca-Cola will pay the supplier $0.9 per can to produce 199 million cans per year. However, if the can supplier does not sell cans to the Coca-Cola bottler, its best available alternative is to sell cans to a Pepsi bottler. The Pepsi bottler would pay the same price for cans that Coca- Cola would pay and would buy the same number of cans. Even though the Pepsi bottler is the closest bottling operation to Coca-Cola's, it is located nearly 1,000 miles away, which makes the marginal cost to the can company of selling to Pepsi $0.4 per can For your answers, please do not answer in…arrow_forwardThe PARC Company can purchase gizmos to be used in building whatsits for $90 each.

- A construction firm purchased a used crane 2 years ago for $445,000. Its operating cost is $325,000 per year and it's expected salvage value 3 years from now is $145,000. The firm's CEO is considering replacing the presently owned used crane with a brand new crane with a much higher load limit which will cost $1.5 million. The operating cost of the new crane will be $260,000 per year, but its higher load limit will allow the contractor to generate extra revenue that is expected to amount to $525,000 per year. The new crane can probably be sold for $850,000 3 years from now. You have been asked to determine how much the presently owned crane would have to be worth on the open market today for the annual worth (AW) values of the two machines to be the same over a 3-year planning period.

- Please help me fast I will give upvote thankuarrow_forwardThe management of First American Bank was concerned about the potential loss that might occur in the event of a physical catastrophe such as a power failure or a fire. The bank estimated that the loss from one of these incidents could be as much as $100 million, including losses due to interrupted service and customer relations. One project the bank is considering is the installation of an emergency power generator at its operations headquarters. The cost of the emergency generator is $800,000, and if it is installed, no losses from this type of incident will be incurred. However, if the generator is not installed, there is a 10% chance that a power outage will occur during the next year. If there is an outage, there is a .05 probability that the resulting losses will be very large, or approximately $80 million in lost earnings. Alternatively, it is estimated that there is a .95 probability of only slight losses of around $1 million. Using decision tree analysis, determine whether the…arrow_forwardGodoarrow_forward
