A European candy manufacturing plant manager must select a new irradiation system to ensure the safety of specific ingredients, while being economical. The two alternatives available have the following estimates: System First Cost, $ CFBT, $ per Year Life, Years A B -145,000 60,000 -75,000 20,000 The company is in the 35% tax bracket and assumes classical straight line depreciation for alternative comparisons performed at an after-tax minimum acceptable rate of return (MARR) of 7% per year. A salvage value of zero is used when depreciation is calculated; however, system B can be sold after 5 years for an estimated 6% of its first cost. System A has no anticipated salvage value. Determine which is more economical using an annual worth (AW) analysis worked by hand. The annual worth analysis for system A is determined to be $ -16.259.5| O The annual worth analysis for system B is determined to be $ -792.5 8

VML Industries has need of specialized yarn manufacturingequipment for operations over the next 3 years. The firm could buythe machinery for $95,000 and depreciate it using MACRS. Annualmaintenance would be $7500, and it would have a salvage value of$25,000 after 3 years. Another alternative would be to lease thesame machine for $45,000 per year on an “all costs” inclusive lease(maintenance costs included in lease payment). These leasepayments are due at the beginning of each year. VML Industriesuses an after-tax MARR of 18% and a combined tax rate of 28%. Doan after-tax present worth analysis to determine which option ispreferred.

New equipment to read 96-bit product codes thatare replacing old bar codes has just been purchasedby General Food Stores. As a trial, 1000 of theitems will be initially purchased. For book depreciation purposes (not tax), the total investmentof $50,000 will be written off over a 4-yearperiod, with no salvage value, by applying one ofthree methodsSL, 1.75% DB, or DDB. The objectiveis to have the largest amount of accumulateddepreciation after 2 years, in order to minimizethe lost depreciation if it is again necessary topurchase new-technology readers prior to the end ofthe 4-year useful life of the readers just purchased.You know that the answer is the DDB method, butyou must graphically demonstrate this result to yoursupervisor. Use a spreadsheet to do so.

You are evaluating two different silicon wafer milling machines. The Techron | costs $264,000, has a 3-year life, and has pretax operating costs of $71,000 per year. The Techron Il costs $460,000, has a 5-year life, and has pretax operating costs of $44,000 per year. For both milling machines, use straight-line depreciation to zero over the project's life and assume a salvage value of $48,000. If your tax rate is 22 percent and your discount rate is 12 percent, compute the EAC for both machines. (A negative answer should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) > Answer is complete but not entirely correct. Techron I $ -134,840.83 Techron II $ -107,570.18
