Based on financial considerations, what should the company do?

Equipment replacement decisions and performance evaluation. Susan Smith manages the Wexford plant of Sanchez Manufacturing. A representative of Darnell Engineering approaches Smith about replacing a large piece of manufacturing equipment that Sanchez uses in its process with a more efficient model. While the representative made some compelling arguments in favor of replacing the 3-year-old equipment, Smith is hesitant. Smith is hoping to be promoted next year to manager of the larger Detroit plant, and she knows that the accrual-basis net operating income of the Wexford plant will be evaluated closely as part of the promotion decision. The following information is available concerning the equipment replacement decision:
Sanchez uses straight-line depreciation on all equipment. Annual depreciation expense for the old machine is $180,000 and will be $270,000 on the new machine if it is acquired. For simplicity, ignore income taxes and the time value of money.

- Net Present Value and Competing Alternatives Stillwater Designs has been rebuilding Model 100, Model 120, and Model 150 Kicker sub-woofers that were returned for warranty action. Customers returning the subwoofers receive a new replacement. The warrant)' returns are then rebuilt and resold (as seconds). Tent sales are often used to sell the rebuilt speakers. As part of the rebuilding process, the speakers are demagnetized so that metal pieces and shavings can be removed. A demagnetizing (demag) machine is used to achieve this objective. A product design change has made the most recent Model 150 speakers too tall for the demag machine. They no longer fit in the demag machine. Stillwater Designs is currently considering two alternatives. First, a new demag machine can be bought that has a different design, eliminating the fit problem. The cost of this machine is 600,000, and it will last 5 years. Second, Stillwater can keep the current machine and sell the 150 speakers for scrap, using the old demag machine for the Model 100 and 120 speakers only. A rebuilt speaker sells for 295 and costs 274.65 to rebuild (for materials, labor, and overhead cash outlays). The 274.65 outlay includes the annual operating cash effects of the new demag machine. If not rebuilt, the Model 150 speakers can be sold for 4 each as scrap. There are 10,000 Model 150 warranty returns per year. Assume that the required rate of return is 10%. Required: 1. Determine which alternative is the best for Stillwater Designs by using NPV analysis. 2. CONCEPTUAL CONNECTION Determine which alternative is best for Stillwater Designs by using an IRR analysis. Explain why NPV analysis is a better approach.arrow_forwardReplacement project example: Suppose Mayco wants to replace an existing printer with a new high-speed copier. The existing printer was purchased 13 years ago at a cost of $16,000. The printer is being depreciated using straight line basis assuming a useful life of 18 years and no salvage value. If the existing printer is not replaced, it will have zero market value at the end of its useful life. The new high-speed copier can be purchased for $23,000 (including freight and installation). Over its 5-year life, it will reduce labor and raw materials usage sufficiently to cut annual operating costs from $18,000 to $9,000. This reduction in costs will cause before-tax profits to rise by an equal amount. It is estimated that the new copier can be sold for $2,400 at the end of five years; this is its estimated salvage value. The old printer's current market value is $4,576. If the new copier is acquired, the old printer will be sold to another company.

The alternatives follow: Alternative 1: Rent new equipment for producing the carburetors for $189,000 per year. Alternative 2: Purchase carburetors from an outside supplier for $20.25 each. Hondrich Company’s costs per unit of producing the carburetors internally (with the old equipment) are given below. These costs are based on a current activity level of 30,000 units per year: Direct materials $ 5.70 Direct labour 8.00 Variable overhead 2.40 Fixed overhead ($3.15 supervision, $1.80 depreciation, and $4.00 general company overhead) 8.95 Total cost per…arrow_forwardHi please give me instruction on this question cant figure out..

On September 27, a proposal was made to replace the present manufacturing procedure with a fully automatic machine that will cost $161,000. The automatic machine has an estimated useful life of five years and no significant residual value.

- Susan Whitehead serves on the city planning commission. The city is planning to build a new subway system, and Susan's brother-in-law, Jerry, who owns the Custom Transportation Co., has submitted the lowest bid for the system. Susan knows that Jerry could complete the job for the estimated amount, but she also knows that once Jerry completes this job, he will probably sell his company and quit working. Susan is concerned that Custom subsequent management might not be as easy to work with if revisions need to be made on the subway system after its completion. She is torn as to whether she should tell the city about the potential changes in Custom Transportation's management. If the city knew about the instability of Custom, it might prefer to give the contract to one of Jerry's competitors, whose bid was only slightly higher than Jerry's. Does Susan have an ethical obligation to disclose the information about Jerry to the city planning commission?

However, the Calgary municipal government has informed JB that a surcharge of $4 per thousand cubic liters will soon be imposed for the discharge of this waste. This has prompted management to evaluate the desirability of treating its own liquid waste.A proposed system consists of three elements. The first is a retention basin, which would permit unusual discharges to be held and treated before entering the downstream system. The second is a continuous self-cleaning rotary filter required where solids are removed. The third is an automated neutralization process required where materials are added to control the alkalinity-acidity range.The system is designed to process 700,000 liters a day. However, management anticipates that only about 200,000 liters of liquid waste would be processed in a normal workday. The company operates 300 days per year.

- Differential analysis for machine replacement Boyer Digital Components Company assembles circuit boards by using a manually operated machine to insert electronic components. The original cost of the machine is 60,000, the accumulated depreciation is 24,000, its remaining useful life is five years, and its residual value is negligible. On May 4 of the current year, a proposal was made to replace the present manufacturing procedure with a fully automatic machine that has a purchase price of 180,000.

For use in evaluating the proposal, the accountant accumulated the following annual data on present and proposed operations: a. Prepare a differential analysis dated May 4 to determine whether to continue with ( Alternative 1) or replace (Alternative 2) the old machine. Prepare the analysis over the useful life of the new machine. b. Based only on the data presented, should the proposal be accepted? c.
