Its current book value is $2,100, andit can be sold for $2,500 at this time. Thus, the annual depreciation expense is $2,100/6 =$350 per year. If the old machine is not replaced, it can be sold for $500 at the end of itsuseful life.Dauten is offered a replacement machine which has a cost of $8,000, an estimateduseful life of 6 years, and an estimated salvage value of $800. This machine falls into theMACRS 5-year class so the applicable depreciation rates are 20%, 32%, 19%, 12%, 11%,and 6%. The replacement machine would permit an output expansion, so sales wouldrise by $1,000 per year; even so, the new machine’s much greater efficiency would causeoperating expenses to decline by $1,500 per year. The new machine would require thatinventories be increased by $2,000, but accounts payable would…

A. The Erickson Toy Corporation currently uses an injection moulding machine that was purchased 2 years ago. This machine is being depreciated on a straight-line basis toward a $500 salvage value, and it has 6 years of remaining life. Its current book value is $2,600, and it can be sold for $3,000 at this time. Assume, for ease of calculation, that the annual depreciation expense is $350 per year. The firm is offered a replacement machine which has a cost of $8,000 an estimated useful life of 6 years, and an estimated salvage value of $800. This machine falls into the MACRS 5-year class (20%, 32%, 19%, 12%, 12%, 5%). The replacement machine would permit an output expansion, so sales would rise by $1,000 per year; even so, the new machine much greater efficiency would still cause operating expenses to decline by $1,500 per year.
