| Annual operating cost | $12,000 | $5,000 |
| Useful life | 7 years | 5 years |
| Current age | 2 years | 0 years |
| Remaining useful life | 5 years | 5 years |
| Terminal disposal value (in 5 years) | $0 | $0 |
Ignore the effect of income taxes and the time value of money.

- Keep or Buy, Sunk Costs Heather Alburty purchased a previously owned, 2004 Grand Am for 8,900. Since purchasing the car, she has spent the following amounts on parts and labor: Unfortunately, the new stereo doesnt completely drown out the sounds of a grinding transmission. Apparently, the Grand Am needs a considerable amount of work to make it reliable transportation. Heather estimates that the needed repairs include the following: In a visit to a used car dealer, Heather has found a 2005 Neon in mint condition for 9,400. Heather has advertised and found that she can sell the Grand Am for only 6,400. If she buys the Neon, she will pay cash, but she would need to sell the Grand Am. Required: 1. CONCEPTUAL CONNECTION In trying to decide whether to restore the Grand Am or to buy the Neon, Heather is distressed because she already has spent 11,300 on the Grand Am. The investment seems too much to give up. How would you react to her concern? 2. CONCEPTUAL CONNECTION Assuming that Heather would be equally happy with the Grand Am or the Neon, should she buy the Neon, or should she restore the Grand Am?arrow_forwardAssume that a company is choosing between two alternatives—keep an existing machine or replace it with a machine.

- Kingsville plans to buy a street-cleaning machine. A used cleaning vehicle will cost $80,000 and have a $10,000 salvage value at the end of its five year life. A new system with advanced features will cost $160,000 and have a $45,000 salvage value at the end of its five year life. The new system is expected to reduce labor hours compared with the used system. Current street cleaning activity requires the used system to operate 8 hours per day for 20 days per month. Labor costs $50 per hour and MARR is 12% per year. Find the breakeven labor hours for the new system.

- Management of Plascencia Corporation is considering whether to purchase a new model 370 machine costing $502,000 or a new model 220 machine costing $443,000 to replace a machine that was purchased 11 years ago for $470,000. The old machine was used to make product I43L until it broke down last week. Unfortunately, the old machine cannot be repaired.Management has decided to buy the new model 220 machine. It has less capacity than the new model 370 machine, but its capacity is sufficient to continue making product I43L.Management also considered, but rejected, the alternative of simply dropping product I43L. If that were done, instead of investing $443,000 in the new machine, the money could be invested in a project that would return a total of $487,000.In making the decision to buy the model 220 machine rather than the model 370 machine, the differential cost was: A: 59,000 B: 27,000 C: 32,000 D: 17,000arrow_forwardJackson Inc. disposes of other companies’ toxic waste.

The old machine was purchased 3 years ago at a cost of $50,600, and this amount was being depreciated under MACRS using a 5-year recovery period. The machine has 5 years of usable life remaining. The new machine that is being considered costs $75,200 and requires $3,900 in installation costs. The new machine would be depreciated under MACRS using a 5-year recovery period. The firm can currently sell the old machine for $55,300 without incurring any removal or cleanup costs. The firm is subject to a tax rate of 21%.The revenues and expenses (excluding depreciation and interest) associated with the new and the old machines for the next 5 years are given in the table attached. .
