A company is considering replacing an old piece of machinery, which cost $400,000 and has $175,000 of accumulated depreciation to date, with a new machine that has a purchase price of $550,000. The old machine could be sold for $250,000. The annual variable production costs associated with the old machine are estimated to be $72,500 per year for eight years. The annual variable production costs for the new machine are estimated to be $24,000 per year for eight years.

  1. a. Prepare a differential analysis dated May 29 to determine whether to continue with (Alternative 1) or replace (Alternative 2) the old machine.
  2. b. What is the sunk cost in this situation?

  • REPLACEMENT ANALYSIS St. Johns River Shipyards is considering the replacement of an 8-year-old riveting machine with a new one that will increase earnings from 24,000 to 46,000 per year. The new machine will cost 80,000, and it will have an estimated life of 8 years and no salvage value. The new riveting machine is eligible for 100% bonus depreciation at the time of purchase. The applicable corporate tax rate is 25%, and the firms WACC is 10%. The old machine has been fully depreciated and has no salvage value. Should the old riveting machine be replaced by the new one? Explain your answer.
    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.
    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?
  • Differential analysis for machine replacement proposal Lexigraphic Printing Company is considering replacing a machine that has been used in its factory for four years. Relevant data associated with the operations of the old machine and the new machine, neither of which has any estimated residual value, are as follows: Annual nonmanufacturing operating expenses and revenue are not expected to be affected by purchase of the new machine. Instructions 1. Prepare a differential analysis as of April 30 comparing operations using the present machine (Alternative 1) with operations using the new machine (Alternative 2). The analysis should indicate the total differential profit that would result over the six-year period if the new machine is acquired. 2. List other factors that should be considered before a final decision is reached.
    Filkins Fabric Company is considering the replacement of its old, fully depreciated knitting machine. Two new models are available: Machine 190-3, which has a cost of $190,000, a 3-year expected life, and after-tax cash flows (labor savings and depreciation) of $87,000 per year; and Machine 360-6, which has a cost of $360,000, a 6-year life, and after-tax cash flows of $98,300 per year. Knitting machine prices are not expected to rise because inflation will be offset by cheaper components (microprocessors) used in the machines. Assume that Filkins’ cost of capital is 14%. Should the firm replace its old knitting machine? If so, which new machine should it use? By how much would the value of the company increase if it accepted the better machine? What is the equivalent annual annuity for each machine?
    Net present value method for a service company Coast-to-Coast Inc. is considering the purchase of an additional delivery vehicle for 70,000 on January 1, 20Y1. The truck is expected to have a five-year life with an expected residual value of 15,000 at the end of five years. The expected additional revenues from the added delivery capacity are anticipated to be 65,000 per year for each of the next five years. A driver will cost 40,000 in 20Y1, with an expected annual salary increase of 2,000 for each year thereafter. The annual operating costs for the truck are estimated to be 6,000 per year. a. Determine the expected annual net cash flows from the delivery truck investment for 20Y120Y5. b. Compute the net present value of the investment, assuming that the minimum desired rate of return is 12%. Use the present value table appearing in Exhibit 2 of this chapter. c. Is the additional truck a good investment based on your analysis? Explain.
