A machine purchased three years ago for $309,000 has a current book value using straight-line depreciation of $187,000; its oper

ating expenses are $38,000 per year. A replacement machine would cost $235,000, have a useful life of nine years, and would require $8,000 per year in operating expenses. It has an expected salvage value of $64,000 after nine years. The current disposal value of the old machine is $72,000; if it is kept 9 more years, its residual value would be $18,000. Required Calculate the total costs in keeping the old machine and purchase a new machine. Should the old machine be replaced

Answer:

a)

Opportunity Cost (Purchase value less Salvage Value)

Old Machine = $72,000 - $18,000 = <u>$54,000</u>

New Machine =$235,000 - $64,000 = <u>$171,000</u>

Operating Costs

Old Machine = $38,000 * 9 = <u>$342,000</u>

New Machine = $8,000 * 9 = <u>$72,000</u>

Total Cost = Opportunity cost + Operating Cost

Old machine Total Cost = $54,000 + $342,000 = $396,000

New Machine Total Cost = $171,000 + $72,000 = $243,000

b)

Should the old machine be replaced? YES

The cost of keeping the old machine is more than the cost of buying and operating the new machine, therefore it is advisable to replace the old machine.

Answer:

the machine should be replaced

Explanation:

First, the cost of old machinery is sunk cost and no more relevant for our calculations as it would not affect our decision making at this point.

The following numbers hold value for the purpose of taking a decision as to whether the company should keep or replace the old machinery with a new one at this point and time.

 

Cost of a new machinery (if purchased)

Change in operating expenses (if machine is replaced)

Current disposal value of old machine

The company must see whether there is positive change to net income with the replacement. If there is a negative change it will not be replaced.

 

Step 2

1. Cost of new machinery= $ 235000

 

2. Changes in the operating expense/s=

Operating expense with old machine=$38000 per year for 9 years= 38000 x 9= 342000

Operating expense with new machine= $ 8000 per year for 9 years = 8000 x 9= 72000

Hence the savings in operating expenses is = $ 342000- $72000= $270000

 

3. Current Disposal value of old machine= $ 72000

Step 3

Putting together the numbers calculated in step 2-

 

<u>Items----- --------------------------------Effect ----------------------------------Amount in $</u>

Cost of new machine---                cash outflow                           -235000

Saving in operating expenses--- Cash inflow                          270000

Current disposal value of old machine----- Cash inflow          <u> 72000</u>                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               answer                                                                                            <u>107000 </u>                                                                                                                                          

 

From the above calculation, it can be seen that there is a positive / net income flow of $ 107000 which is favourable to the company

 

In conclusion we can therefore, the machinery should be replaced with the new machinery.

Which of the following items would be subtracted from net income when reporting cash flows from operating activities, using the
BigorU [14]

Answer:

The correct answer is Increase in accounts payable and unearned fees.

Explanation:

An account payable consists of a debt incurred by the company directly related to the economic activity of the company. An account payable is a debtor account in a company and indicates that it has to pay its suppliers (or other creditors).

The amounts that are accounted for as accounts payable come from the purchase of goods or services in terms of credit. So, accounts payable are similar to credits with the difference that banks are not involved.

Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

Price of stock = $49.5

Explanation:

<em>The Dividend Valuation Model(DVM) is a technique used to value the worth of an asset. According to this model, the value of an asset is the sum of the present values of the future cash flows would that arise from the asset discounted at the required rate of return. </em>

If dividend is expected to grow at a given rate , the value of a share is calculated using the formula below:  

Price of stock=Do (1+g)/(k-g)  

Do - dividend in the following year, K- requited rate of return , g- growth rate  

DATA:

D0- 2.7

g- 10%

K- 16%

Price of stock = ( 2.7×1.1)/(0.16-0.1) = 49.5

Price of stock = $49.5

Contact [7]

In the context of electronic communication, <u>passive incivility</u> involves indirect form of disrespect.

The contractor proposed $x,xxx,xxx for manufacturing labor contemplating the following full time equivalent (FTE) for the three
Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

$659,277

Explanation:

The computation of the manufacturing labor dollars per year over the three year period of performance is shown below:

For 3 year it is

= 3 × 1,800 hours × $31

= $167,400

For 4.5 years, it is

= 4.5 × 1,800 hours × $31 × 1.025

= $257,377.50

Foe 4 years, it is

= 4 × 1,800 hours × $31 × 1.025 × 1.025

= $254,499.50

So, the manufacturing labor dollars per year is

= $167,400 +  $257,377.50 + $254,499.50

= $659,277

The long-run supply curve for a product is horizontal with ATC = 200. Market demand is defined as P = 1,000 − 4 Q. The market is
ANTONII [103]

Answer:

65 firms will be in the industry at the new long run equilibrium

Explanation:

in the long run the P=ATC

quantity before the change is

200 = 1000-4Q

4Q = 800

Q= 200

each firm output = Q/number of firms = 200 / 50

q = 4

new quantity is

200 = 1240-4Q

4Q = 1040

Q = 260

number of firms=new Q/q

=260/4 = 65

the number of firms is 65 in the long run.
