Cost of goods sold is estimated to be 30 percent of the annual sales, and corporate overhead would be expected to increase by $180,000 not including the cost of either acquiring or leasing office space.

At the end of the third year, management will close down the line and liquidate the remaining assets. The project will require an investment of $500,000 in plant upgrade and equipment and an additional $30,000 in working capital, which will be recovered in full at the end of year 3.Over its three-year useful life, the new equipment will reduce labor and rawmaterials usage sufficiently to cut operating costs from $9,000,000 to $8,850,000. It is estimated that the new equipment can be sold for $150,000 at the end of year 3. If the new equipment were purchased, the old machine would be sold to another company for $170,000 rather than be traded in for the new equipment. If the old equipment is kept for three more years, the salvage value would be reduced to $70,000.Adams management uses 10% to discount the cash flows.

- Collin Wilkes is the marketing manager at Darby Company. Last year, Collin recommended the company approve a capital investment project for the addition of a new product line. Collin’s recommendation included predicted cash inflows for five years from the sales of the new product line. Darby Company has been selling the new products for almost one year. The company has a policy of conducting annual post-audits on capital investments, and Collin is concerned about the one-year post-audit because sales in the first year have been lower than he estimated. However, sales have been increasing for the last couple of months, and Collin expects that by the end of the second year, actual sales will exceed his estimates for the first two years combined. Collin wants to shift some sales from the second year of the project into the first year. Doing so will make it appear that his cash flow predictions were accurate. With accurate estimates, he will be able to avoid a poor performance evaluation.…arrow_forwardCollin Wilkes is the marketing manager at Darby Company.
