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.

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.

What is the average of gross income for domestic movies (in mln)?
Brrunno [24]

The average gross income for domestic movies (in mln) is 180

A film industry-specific term used by box office reporters such as Variety and Box Office Mojo. For movies released in North America, box office revenue is usually divided into domestic, including the United States and Canada, and international, including all other countries.

Today, weekly box office revenues are usually considered Friday-Thursday, reflecting the fact that most movies are officially released on Friday in the United States. Variety was published every Wednesday for many years, so most of the weekly box office revenue they reported in the 1920s-1990s was from Thursday-Wednesday.

Most of the Weekly Loss is weekend cashiers. Historically, this has been reported as box office revenue from Friday to Sunday, and holidays close to weekends. Day numbers from Friday to Sunday are also now used.

I need help please... :) Thank you so much
valina [46]

Answer:

gotta start off with how much i love your quackity pfp <3

Explanation:

1. I would suggest putting the education on your parents credit card. A student loan could be a livesaver in the moment, but if it can`t be paid off it will stick to you as future debt. This is especially hard to get rid of if you were having to take out a loan in the first place, because you don`t/didn`t have the money for it.

2. (this one im not as sure about so get a second opinion if you can) If the card was opened as a Target card, then it can only be used for the store assiciated with it. Also known as RedCard, Target cards are specifically for shopping and buying merchandise in that store or any corresponding locations.

Hope this helps ;-;
