Differential Analysis for Machine Replacement Boyer Digital Components Company assembles circuit boards by using a manually oper

ated machine to insert electronic components. The original cost of the machine is $50,700, the accumulated depreciation is $20,300, 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 $105,500. The automatic machine has an estimated useful life of five years and no significant residual value. For use in evaluating the proposal, the accountant accumulated the following annual data on present and proposed operations:
Present Operations Proposed Operations
Sales $160,700 $160,700
Direct materials $54,800 $54,800
Direct labor 38,000 —
Power and maintenance 3,500 18,800
Taxes, insurance, etc. 1,300 4,200
Selling and administrative expenses 38,000 38,000
Total expenses $135,600 $115,800

Prepare a differential analysis dated May 4 to determine whether to continue with the old machine (Alternative 1) or replace the old machine (Alternative 2).

Answer:

Continue with old machine

Explanation:

Total expenses    -678,000            -684,500             6,500

Profit (Loss)          $125,500              $119,000           $6,500

Hence it is advantageous to continue with old machine. Net incremental advantage of continuing with old machine = $6,500

Answer:

$77,217

$11,289

Explanation:

Fist we will calculate the present value of $10,000 payment

A fix Payment for a specified period of time is called annuity. The discounting of these payment on a specified rate is known as present value of annuity. The value of the annuity is also determined by the present value of annuity payment.

Formula for Present value of annuity is as follow

PV of annuity = P x [ ( 1- ( 1+ r )^-n ) / r ]

Where

P = Annual payment = $10,000

r = rate of return = 10% / 2  = 5%

n = number of period = 5 years x 2 semiannual payments per year = 10 payments

PV of annuity = $10,000 x [ ( 1- ( 1+ 0.05 )^-10 ) / 0.05 ]

PV of Annuity = $77,217

Now we will use the discounting method to calculate the present value of lump sum payment of $20,000

Present value = Future value x Present value factor

PV = FV x ( 1 + r )^-n

PV = $20,000 x ( 1 + 0.1 )^-6

PV = $11,289
