Judgment Case 6–5
Replacement decision
• LO6–3, LO6–7
Hughes Corporation is considering replacing a machine used in the manufacturing process with a new, more efficient model. The purchase price of the new machine is $150,000 and the old machine can be sold for $100,000. Output for the two machines is identical; they will both be used to produce the same amount of product for five years. However, the annual operating costs of the old machine are $18,000 compared to $10,000 for the new machine. Also, the new machine has a salvage value of $25,000, but the old machine will be worthless at the end of the five years.
Required:
Should the company sell the old machine and purchase the new model? Assume that an 8% rate properly reflects the time value of money in this situation and that all operating costs are paid at the end of the year. Ignore the effect of the decision on income taxes.

The project will generate $30,000 of pretax operating cash inflow annually. The company has a 25% effective income tax rate and uses a 10% discount rate for investment projects.

Sensitivity Analysis We are evaluating a project that costs $1.68 million, has a six-year life, and has no salvage value. Assume that depreciation is straight-line to zero over the life of the project. Sales are projected at 90,000 units per year. Price per unit is $37.95, variable cost per unit is $23.20, and fixed costs are $815,000 per year. The tax rate is 21 percent, and we require a return of 11 percent on this project. a.

With 30% probability, the metaverse will be a big success, in which case he can choose whether to spend $5 billion on engineering to earn revenues of $20 billion. (If he chooses not to spend all of that amount of engineering, then his revenue from the metaverse will be $0.) With 70% probability, the metaverse will not be popular, in which case Mark will choose whether to spend $5 billion on engineering in order to receive $3 billion in revenue.
