A CNC machine was purchased 2 years ago for $16,000; now it has been depreciated by straight line depreciation using a 4-year life and zero savage value. Because of recent innovation in the machining technology the current price of the machine has been reduced to $12,000. Market value of the used old machine is $3,000. Considering the replacement analysis what should be the value of the machine, justify your findings on a report with references. This provides evidence for [CLO 2]
One of MIME IMMITATE Co.’s machines has been impaired. Repairs and maintenance costs on the machine have been increasing over the past years making the machine a bottleneck in MIME’s production. At year-end, management made a decision to sell the machine very soon.

Hi please give me instruction on this question cant figure out.. Differential Analysis for Machine Replacement Taipei Digital Components Company assembles circuit boards by using a manually operated machine to insert electronic components. The original cost of the machine is $77,400, the accumulated depreciation is $31,000, its remaining useful life is five years, and its residual value is negligible. On September 27, a proposal was made to replace the present manufacturing procedure with a fully automatic machine that will cost $161,000. 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 $245,400 $245,400 Direct materials 83,600 83,600 Direct labor 58,100 — Power and maintenance 5,400 28,600 Taxes, insurance, etc. 1,900 6,400…
Blooper Industries is considering to replace its magnesium purification system. The company uses straight-line depreciation to a zero book value over the useful life of its equipment system. Whichever machine is purchased will be replaced at the end of its useful life, and have no salvage value at the end of its useful life. - Machine A costs $1,127,000, has annual operating costs of $19,500, and has a 5-year life. - Machine B has a cost of $892,000, annual operating costs of $26,300, and a 4-year life. If the discount rate is 15% and the firm tax rate is 35%, Blooper Industries should purchase Machine because it lowers the firm's annual cost by approximately machine. as compared to the other

Newmarge Products Inc. is evaluating a new design for one of its manufacturing processes. The new design will eliminate the production of a toxic solid residue. The initial cost of the system is estimated at 860,000 and includes computerized equipment, software, and installation. There is no expected salvage value. The new system has a useful life of 8 years and is projected to produce cash operating savings of 225,000 per year over the old system (reducing labor costs and costs of processing and disposing of toxic waste). The cost of capital is 16%. Required: 1. Compute the NPV of the new system. 2. One year after implementation, the internal audit staff noted the following about the new system: (1) the cost of acquiring the system was 60,000 more than expected due to higher installation costs, and (2) the annual cost savings were 20,000 less than expected because more labor cost was needed than anticipated. Using the changes in expected costs and benefits, compute the NPV as if this information had been available one year ago. Did the company make the right decision? 3. CONCEPTUAL CONNECTION Upon reporting the results mentioned in the postaudit, the marketing manager responded in a memo to the internal audit department indicating that cash inflows also had increased by a net of 60,000 per year because of increased purchases by environmentally sensitive customers. Describe the effect that this has on the analysis in Requirement 2. 4. CONCEPTUAL CONNECTION Why is a postaudit beneficial to a firm?
St. Johns River Shipyards welding machine is 15 years old, fully depreciated, and has no salvage value. However, even though it is old, it is still functional as originally designed and can be used for quite a while longer. A new welder will cost 182,500 and have an estimated life of 8 years with no salvage value. The new welder will be much more efficient, however, and this enhanced efficiency will increase earnings before depreciation from 27,000 to 74,000 per year. The new machine will be depreciated over its 5-year MACRS recovery period, so the applicable depreciation rates are 20.00%, 32.00%, 19.20%, 11.52%, 11.52%, and 5.76%. The applicable corporate tax rate is 25%, and the project cost of capital is 12%. What is the NPV if the firm replaces the old welder with the new one?
A bioengineer is evaluating methods used to apply an adhesive to microporous paper tape that is commonly used after surgery. The machinery costs $200,000, has no salvage value, and the CFBT estimate is $75,000 per year for up to 10 years. The Te = 38% and i = 8% per year. The two depreciation methods to consider are: MACRS with n = 5 years and SL with n = 8 years (neglect the halfyear convention effect). For a study period of 8 years, (a) determine which depreciation method and recovery period offers the better tax advantage, and (b) demonstrate that the same total taxes are paid for MACRS and SL depreciation.
