Crane Roofing is faced with a decision. The company relies very heavily on the use of its 60-foot extension lift for work on lar

ge homes and commercial properties. Last year, Crane Roofing spent $73,200 refurbishing the lift. It has just determined that another $39,000 of repair work is required. Alternatively, it has found a newer used lift that is for sale for $166,500. The company estimates that both lifts would have useful lives of 6 years. The new lift is more efficient and thus would reduce operating expenses by about $24,400 per year. Crane Roofing could also rent out the new lift for about $10,000 per year. The old lift is not suitable for rental. The old lift could currently be sold for $24,500 if the new lift is purchased.
Prepare an incremental analysis for the life of the machines showing whether the company should replace the equipment.

Answer:

The company should replace the equipment.

Explanation:

The cost analysis is calculated as follows;

                         Retain                Replace                 Net Income

                                     Equipment        Equipment         Increase (Decrease)

Operating expenses     $146,400                0                      $146,400

($24,400*6)  

Repair costs            $39,000                 0                    $39,000

Rental revenue                      0                 -$60000              $60,000

($10,000*6)  

New machine cost              0                $166,500            -$166,500

Sale of old machine   0               -$24,500              $24,500

Total cost                  $185,400   $82,000               $103,400

From the calculation above, the equipment should be replaced as it incur a lesser cost compare to when it is retained.

  • computer programmer $3,300
  • administrator $2,800

Net pay:

  • consultant $2,767.98
  • computer programmer $2,295.48
  • administrator $1,993.98

Explanation:

                                           regular earnings     overtime    withholding  

                                                                                              allowances

Consultant                        $4,000 per week       N/A                2

Computer programmer          $60 per hour        1.5                  1

Administrator                          $50 per hour          2                  2

computer programmer worked 50 hours = ($60 x 40) + ($60 x 10 x 1.5) = $3,300

administrator worked 48 hours = ($50 x 40) + ($50 x 8 x 2) = $2,800

Social security taxes:

  • Consultant = 6% x $4,000 = $240                        
  • Computer programmer = 6% x $3,300 = $198        
  • Administrator = 6% x $2,800 = $168

Medicare taxes:

  • Consultant = 1.5% x $4,000 = $60                        
  • Computer programmer = 1.5% x $3,300 = $49.50        
  • Administrator = 1.5% x $2,800 = $42

Federal income taxes:

  • Consultant: amount subject to withholding = $4,000 - (2 x $75) = $3,850. Federal income taxes = $356.90 + [28% x ($3,850 - $1,796) = $932.02                        
  • Computer programmer = amount subject to withholding = $3,300 - (1 x $75) = $3,225. Federal income taxes = $356.90 + [28% x ($3,225 - $1,796) = $757.02            
  • Administrator = amount subject to withholding = $2,800 - (2 x $75) = $2,650. Federal income taxes = $356.90 + [28% x ($2,650 - $1,796) = $596.02  

Gross pay:

  • consultant $4,000
  • computer programmer $3,300
  • administrator $2,800

Net pay:

  • consultant $4,000 - ($240 + $60 + $932.02) = $2,767.98
  • computer programmer $3,300 - ($198 + $49.50 + $757.02) = $2,295.48
  • administrator $2,800 - ($168 + $42 + $596.02) = $1,993.98
