Net present value | $ 16,900 | -$ 23,189 |
Table (4)
The internal rate of return of machine replacement is between 6% and 8%, because the net present value is positive under 6% discount rate but the net present value is negative when 8% discount rate is used.

Identify the consecutive whole number amounts in which the payback period for the machine replacement is computed.
3.
Explanation of Solution
Identify the consecutive whole number amounts in which the payback period for the machine replacement is computed as follows:
Initial net cash outflow = $964,000.
Year | After tax cash inflow | Accumulated cash flow |
20x2 | $ 313,320 | $ 313,320 |
20x3 | $ 357,800 | $671,120 |
20x4 | $ 239,240 |
$910,360 |
20x5 | $ 209,640 |
$1,120,000 |
Table (5)
The initial net cash outflow of the investment falls between $910,360 and $1,120,000. Hence the two whole number of payback period is 3 years (20x4) and 4 years (20x5).

Calculate the salvage of value of new machine on December 31, 20x5 if machine replacement is considered as an acceptable investment.
4.
Explanation of Solution
Calculate the salvage of value of new machine on December 31, 20x5 if machine replacement is considered as an acceptable investment as follows:
The net present value of machine is ($95,368) with zero salvage value. Before the discount factor, the salvage value of old machinery would be $149,950
Note: X denotes the salvage value of new machinery.
Therefore, the salvage value of new machine must exceed $249,917 in order to consider the machine replacement is an acceptable investment.

Loose-Leaf for Managerial Accounting: Creating Value in a Dynamic Business Environment
- Tuttle Construction Co. specializes in building replicas of historic houses. Tim Newman, president of Tuttle Construction, is considering the purchase of various items of equipment on July 1, 2014, for 400,000. The equipment would have a useful life of five years and no residual value. In the past, all equipment has been leased. For tax purposes, Tim is considering depreciating the equipment by the straight-line method. He discussed the matter with his CPA and learned that, although the straight-line method could be elected, it was to his advantage to use the Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System (MACRS) for tax purposes. He asked for your advice as to which method to use for tax purposes. 1. Compute depreciation for each of the years (2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2019) of useful life by (a) the straight-line method and (b) MACRS. In using the straight-line method, one-half years depreciation should be computed for 2014 and 2019. Use the MACRS rates presented in Exhibit 9. 2. Assuming that income before depreciation and income tax is estimated to be 750,000 uniformly per year and that the income tax rate is 40%, compute the net income for each of the years 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2019 if (a) the straight-line method is used and (b) MACRS is used. 3. What factors would you present for Tims consideration in the selection of a depreciation method?arrow_forwardManny Carson, certified management accountant and controller of Wakeman Enterprises, has been given permission to acquire a new computer and software for the companys accounting system. The capital investment analysis showed an NPV of 100,000. However, the initial estimates of acquisition and installation costs were made on the basis of tentative costs without any formal bids. Manny now has two formal bids, one that would allow the firm to meet or beat the original projected NPV and one that would reduce the projected NPV by 50,000. The second bid involves a system that would increase both the initial cost and the operating cost. Normally, Manny would take the first bid without hesitation. However, Todd Downing, the owner of the firm presenting the second bid, is a close friend. Manny called Todd and explained the situation, offering Todd an opportunity to alter his bid and win the job. Todd thanked Manny and then made a counteroffer. Todd: Listen, Manny, this job at the original price is the key to a successful year for me. The revenues will help me gain approval for the loan I need for renovation and expansion. If I dont get that loan, I see hard times ahead. The financial stats for loan approval are so marginal that reducing the bid price may blow my chances. Manny: Losing the bid altogether would be even worse, dont you think? Todd: True. However, if you award me the job, Ill be able to add personnel. I know that your son is looking for a job, and I can offer him a good salary and a promising future. Additionally, Ill be able to take you and your wife on that vacation to Hawaii that weve been talking about. Manny: Well, you have a point. My son is having an awful time finding a job, and he has a wife and three kids to support. My wife is tired of having them live with us. She and I could use a vacation. I doubt that the other bidder would make any fuss if we turned it down. Its offices are out of state, after all. Todd: Out of state? All the more reason to turn it down. Given the states economy, it seems almost criminal to take business outside. Those are the kind of business decisions that cause problems for people like your son. Required: Evaluate the ethical behavior of Manny. Should Manny have called Todd in the first place? Would there have been any problems if Todd had agreed to meet the lower bid price? Identify the parts of the Statement of Ethical Professional Practice (Chapter 1) that Manny may be violating, if any.arrow_forwardTree Lovers Inc. purchased 2,500 acres of woodland in which it intends to harvest the complete forest, leaving the land barren and worthless. Tree Lovers paid $5,000,000 for the land. Tree Lovers will sell the lumber as it is harvested and it expects to deplete it over ten years (150 acres in year one, 300 acres in year two, 250 acres in year three, 150 acres in year four, and 100 acres in year five). Calculate the depletion expense for the next five years and create the journal entry for year one.arrow_forward
- Alexander Industries is considering purchasing an insurance policy for its new office building in St. Louis, Missouri. The policy has an annual cost of $10,000. If Alexander Industries doesn’t purchase the insurance and minor fire damage occurs, a cost of $100,000 is anticipated; the cost if major or total destruction occurs is $200,000. The costs, including the state-of-nature probabilities, are as follows: Using the expected value approach, what decision do you recommend? What lottery would you use to assess utilities? (Note: Because the data are costs, the best payoff is $0.) Assume that you found the following indifference probabilities for the lottery defined in part (b). What decision would you recommend? Do you favor using expected value or expected utility for this decision problem? Why?arrow_forwardDauten 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. The replacement machine is eligible for 100% bonus depreciation at the time of purchase- The replacement machine would permit an output expansion, so sales would rise by 1,000 per year; even so, the new machines much greater efficiency would cause operating expenses to decline by 1,500 per year The new machine would require that inventories be increased by 2,000, but accounts payable would simultaneously increase by 500. Dautens marginal federal-plus-state tax rate is 25%, and its WACC is 11%. Should it replace the old machine?arrow_forwardAfter discovering a new gold vein in the Colorado mountains, CTC Mining Corporation must decide whether to go ahead and develop the deposit. The most cost-effective method of mining gold is sulfuric acid extraction, a process that could result in environmental damage. Before proceeding with the extraction, CTC must spend 900,000 for new mining equipment and pay 165,000 for its installation. The mined gold will net the firm an estimated 350,000 each year for the 5-year life of the vein. CTCs cost of capital is 14%. For the purposes of this problem, assume that the cash inflows occur at the end of the year. a. What are the projects NPV and IRR? b. Should this project be undertaken if environmental impacts were not a consideration? c. How should environmental effects be considered when evaluating this or any other project? How might these concepts affect the decision in part b?arrow_forward
