Summary Introduction
To determine: The machine that should be recommended by TS person using the present value method.
Introduction:
Present value (PV):
It is the value that is in present form of money in contrast to some future amount. This is achieved when it is invested in compound interest.
The NPV is the measurement of profit that is calculated by subtracting the present values of

Tim Smunt has been asked to evaluate two machines. After some investigation, he determines that they have the costs shown in the following table:
Machine A
Machine B
Original Cost
$15,000
$24,000
Labor per year
$2,400
$4,800
Maintenance per year
$4,300
$1,000
Salvage value
$2,400
$7,200
He is told to assume that:
1. The life of each machine is
3
years.
2. The company thinks it knows how to make
14%
on investments no more risky than this one.
3. Labor and maintenance are paid at the end of the year.
The NPV for Machine
A=$nothing

Janelle Heinke, the owners of Ha'Peppas, is consid-ering a new oven in which to bake the firm's signature dish, vegetarian pizza. Oven type A can handle 20 pizzas an hour. The fixed costs associated with oven A are $20,000 and the vari-able costs are $2.00 per pizza. Oven B is larger and can handle 40 pizzas an hour. The fixed costs associated with oven B are $30,000 and the variable costs are $1.25 per pizza. The pizzas sell for $14 each.
a) What is the break-even point for each oven?
b) If the owner expects to sell 9,000 pizzas, which oven should she purchase?
c)If the owner expects to sell 12,000 pizzas, which oven should she purchase?
d) At what volume should Janelle switch ovens?
A manager must decide which type of equipment to buy, Type A or Type B. Type A equipment cost $15,000 each, and Type B cost $11,000 each. The equipment can be operated 8 hours a day, 250 days a year. Either machine can be used to perfom two types of chemical analysis, C1 and C2. Annual service requirements and processing times are shown in the following table. Which type of equipment should be purchased, and how many of that type wil be need? The goal is to minimize total purchase cost.

If only one machine is purchased and demand provesto be excessive, the second machine can be purchased later.Some sales would be lost, however, because the lead timefor delivery of this type of machine is 6 months. In addition,the cost per machine will be lower if both machines are pur-chased at the same time. The probability of low demand isestimated to be 0.30 and that of high demand to be 0.70. Theafter-tax NPV of the benefits from purchasing two machinestogether is $90,000 if demand is low and $170,000 if demandis high.If one machine is purchased and demand is low, the NPV is$120,000. If demand is high, the manager has three options:(1) doing nothing, which has an NPV of $120,000; (2) subcon-tracting, with an NPV of $140,000; and (3) buying the secondmachine, with an NPV of $130,000.a.

The school cafeteria can make pizza for approximately $0.30 per slice. The cost of the kitchen use and cafeteria staff runs about $200 per day. The Pizza Den nearby will deliver whole pizzas for $9.00 each. The cafeteria staff cuts the pizza into eight (8) pieces and serves them in the usual cafeteria line. With no cooking duties, the staff can be reduced by half, for a fixed cost of $75 per day. Should the school cafeteria make or buy pizza? Calculations are needed to justify the answer.
