Allen Construction purchased a crane 6 years ago for $130,000. They need a crane of this capacity for the next 5 years. Normal o

peration costs $35,000 per year. The current crane will have no salvage value at the end of 5 more years. Allen can trade in the current crane for its market value of $40,000 toward the purchase of a new one, which costs $150,000. The new crane will cost only $8,000 per year under normal operating conditions and will have a salvage value of $55,000 after 5 years. If MARR is 20%, determine which option is preferred

Answer:

<u>For retaining of Old Machine Equipment</u>

Price of old equipment 3 yrs ago = $130,000

O & M cost per year = $35,000

Using the Cash flow approach

End of year   Cash flow 1   Old equipment

0                            $0            Initial Cash flow

1                         -$35,000     O & M cost per year

2                        -$35,000     O & M cost per year

3                        -$35,000     O & M cost per year

4                        -$35,000     O & M cost per year

5                        -$35,000     O & M cost per year

Hence, Annual worth = Initial cash flow + Annual cost

Annual worth = 0 - $35,000

Annual worth = -$35,000

<u>For buying of new equipment</u>

Cost of buying new crane = $150,000

Market value of old crane = $40,000

Time = 5 years

O & M cost per year = $8,000

Salvage value = $55,000

MARR = 20%

Using the Cash flow approach

End of year   Cash flow 1   New equipment

0                         $110,000    -$150,000 + $40,000

1                         -$8,000     O & M cost per year

2                        -$8,000     O & M cost per year

3                        -$8,000     O & M cost per year

4                        -$8,000     O & M cost per year

5                        $47,000     -$8,000 + $55,000

Annual worth = Initial cash flow + Annual cost + Salvage value

Annual worth = -$110,000(A/P 20%,5) - $8,000 + $55,000(A/P 20%,5)

Annual worth = -$110,000*(0.334) - $8,000 + $55,000*(0.134)

Annual worth = -$36,781.77 - $8,000 + $7,390.88

Annual worth = -$37,908.88

Conclusion: We should retain the old machine as it is more favorable than purchase of new equipment

Units transferred out                       37,500 EUP                 37,500 EUP

<u>Units of ending work in process      2,000 EUP                    1,200 EUP</u>

<u>Equivalent units of production          39,500 EUP                38,700 EUP</u>

Costs Added

                                                    Direct Materials           Conversion

Costs of beginning work in

process                                               $13,450                    $1,860

<u>Costs incurred this period               440,800                      238,080</u>

<u>Total costs                                       $454,250                   $239,940 </u>

<u />

Costs per EUP

                                                Direct Materials           Conversion

                                $454,250/ 39,500 EUP         $239,940/38,700 EUP

                                     =  $ 11.5 per EUP                        = $6.2 per  EUP

Dividing the costs with EUP gives cost per EUP.

Costs Accounted For

Units Transferred Out $ 663750

Materials = $ 11.5 * 37500=$  431250

Conversion= $ 6.2 * 37500=$ 232500

Total = $ 663750

Work In Process Ending $ 30440

Materials = $ 11.5 * 2000=$  23000

Conversion= $ 6.2 * 1200=$ 7440

Total = $ 30440

Now adding the costs of Transferred out units and the ending work in process inventory equals the total of the costs added.

$ 663750+$ 30440 = $454,250 + $239,940

$ 694190 = $ 694190

iragen [17]

Answer:

Bart Inc.

The initial value of the machine is:

= $114,240.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Date of purchase of machine from Fell Corp. = December 31, 2016

Annual payments for a non-interest-bearing note = $20,000

Appropriate present value of the annuity due = 5.712

PV of the annual payments for 8 years = $114,240 ($20,000 * 5.712)

First payment date = December 31, 2016

Period of payments = 8 years

Prevailing interest rate for this type of note = 11%

Check from an online financial calculator:

N (# of periods)  8

I/Y (Interest per year)  11

PMT (Periodic Payment)  20000

FV (Future Value)  0

Results

PV = $114,243.93

Sum of all periodic payments = $160,000.00

Total Interest = $45,756.07
