Kiddy Toy Corporation needs to acquire the use of a machine to be used in its manufacturing process. The machine needed is manufactured by Lollie Corp. The machine can be used for 10 years and then sold for $10,000 at the end of its useful life. Lollie has presented Kiddy with the following options:
1. Buy machine. The machine could be purchased for $160,000 in cash. All insurance costs, which approximate $5,000 per year, would be paid by Kiddy.
2. Lease machine. The machine could be leased for a 10-year period for an annual lease payment of $25,000 with the first payment due immediately. All insurance costs will be paid for by the Lollie Corp. and the machine will revert back to Lollie at the end of the 10-year period.
Required:
Assuming that a 12% interest rate properly reflects the time value of money in this situation and that all maintenance and insurance costs are paid at the end of each year, determine which option Kiddy should choose. Ignore income tax considerations.

- Exercise 14-6 (Algo) Simple Rate of Return Method [LO14-6] The management of Ballard MicroBrew is considering the purchase of an automated bottling machine for $57,000. The machine would replace an old piece of equipment that costs $15,000 per year to operate. The new machine would cost $7,000 per year to operate. The old machine currently in use is fully depreciated and could be sold now for a salvage value of $24,000. The new machine would have a useful life of 10 years with no salvage value. Required: 1. What is the annual depreciation expense associated with the new bottling machine? 2. What is the annual incremental net operating income provided by the new bottling machine? 3. What is the amount of the initial investment associated with this project that should be used for calculating the simple rate of return? 4. What is the simple rate of return on the new bottling machine?

A customer would lease a car from the manufadurer for a set term, y tws years, and then have the option of keeping the car IF the customer decided to keep the car, the customer would pay a price to the mandfacturer, the "residual value," computed as 60% of the new car price. The manufacturer would then sell the returned cers at Puction. In 1999, manuacturers lo an average of $480 on each returned car (the auction price was, on average, s480 less than the residual value). Suppose two customers have leased cars from a manufacturer. Their lease agreements are ud, and they are considering whether to e (and purchase at 60% of the new car price) their cars or return their Cars.

It is expected to provide energy savings of $200 per year. Alternative B: Purchase a heating system for a total cost of $3.600, including installation. It has a salvage value of $1000 after 10 years of service, and is expected to provide energy savings of $500 per year.
