Exercise 1-16 (Algo) Cost Classifications for Decision Making [LO1-5] Warner Corporation purchased a machine 7 years ago for $350,000 when it launched product P50. Unfortunately, this machine has broken down and cannot be repaired. The machine could be replaced by a new model 300 machine costing $342,450 or by a new model 200 machine costing $290,800. Management has decided to buy the model 200 machine. It has less capacity than the model 300 machine, but its capacity is sufficient to continue making product P50. Management also considered, but rejected, the alternative of dropping product P50 and not replacing the old machine. If that were done, the $290,800 invested in the new machine could instead have been invested in a project that would have returned a total of $400,400. Required: 1. What is the total differential cost regarding the decision to buy the model 200 machine rather than the model 300 machine? 2. What is the total sunk cost regarding the decision to buy the model 200 machine rather than the model 300 machine? 3. What is the total opportunity cost regarding the decision to invest in the model 200 machine? 1. Differential cost 2. Sunk cost 3. Opportunity cost

Management of NUBD Corporation is considering whether to purchase a new model L37 machine costing 360,000 or a new model L20 machine costing 340,000 to replace a machine that was purchased 7 years ago for 348,000. The old machine was used to make product LUV until it broke down last week. Unfortunately, the old machine cannot be repaired. Management has decided to buy the new model L20 machine. It has less capacity than the new model L37 machine, but its capacity is sufficient to continue making product LUV. Management also considered, but rejected, the alternative of simply dropping product LUV. If that were done, instead of investing 340,000 in the new machine, the money could be invested in a project that would return a total of 250,000. In making the decision to invest in the model L20 machine, the opportunity cost was?
Hi please give step by step instructions to figure out the problem and give me an answer to see if I'm right... Machine Replacement Decision A company is considering replacing an old piece of machinery, which cost $601,200 and has $352,900 of accumulated depreciation to date, with a new machine that costs $483,900. The old machine could be sold for $64,300. The annual variable production costs associated with the old machine are estimated to be $156,100 per year for eight years. The annual variable production costs for the new machine are estimated to be $101,700 per year for eight years. a. Prepare a differential analysis dated October 3, to determine whether to continue with (Alternative 1) or replace (Alternative 2) the old machine. If an amount is zero, enter zero "0".

The old machine was used to make product I43L until it broke down last week. Unfortunately, the old machine cannot be repaired.Management has decided to buy the new model 220 machine. It has less capacity than the new model 370 machine, but its capacity is sufficient to continue making product I43L.Management also considered, but rejected, the alternative of simply dropping product I43L. If that were done, instead of investing $340,000 in the new machine, the money could be invested in a project that would return a total of $456,000.In making the decision to buy the model 220 machine rather than the model 370 machine, the sunk cost was: $456,000 $464,000 $439,000 $405,000

Jonfran Company manufactures three different models of paper shredders including the waste container, which serves as the base. While the shredder heads are different for all three models, the waste container is the same. The number of waste containers that Jonfran will need during the following years is estimated as follows: The equipment used to manufacture the waste container must be replaced because it is broken and cannot be repaired. The new equipment would have a purchase price of 945,000 with terms of 2/10, n/30; the companys policy is to take all purchase discounts. The freight on the equipment would be 11,000, and installation costs would total 22,900. The equipment would be purchased in December 20x4 and placed into service on January 1, 20x5. It would have a five-year economic life and would be treated as three-year property under MACRS. This equipment is expected to have a salvage value of 12,000 at the end of its economic life in 20x9. The new equipment would be more efficient than the old equipment, resulting in a 25 percent reduction in both direct materials and variable overhead. The savings in direct materials would result in an additional one-time decrease in working capital requirements of 2,500, resulting from a reduction in direct material inventories. This working capital reduction would be recognized at the time of equipment acquisition. The old equipment is fully depreciated and is not included in the fixed overhead. The old equipment from the plant can be sold for a salvage amount of 1,500. Rather than replace the equipment, one of Jonfrans production managers has suggested that the waste containers be purchased. One supplier has quoted a price of 27 per container. This price is 8 less than Jonfrans current manufacturing cost, which is as follows: Jonfran uses a plantwide fixed overhead rate in its operations. If the waste containers are purchased outside, the salary and benefits of one supervisor, included in fixed overhead at 45,000, would be eliminated. There would be no other changes in the other cash and noncash items included in fixed overhead except depreciation on the new equipment. Jonfran is subject to a 40 percent tax rate. Management assumes that all cash flows occur at the end of the year and uses a 12 percent after-tax discount rate. Required: 1. Prepare a schedule of cash flows for the make alternative. Calculate the NPV of the make alternative. 2. Prepare a schedule of cash flows for the buy alternative. Calculate the NPV of the buy alternative. 3. Which should Jonfran domake or buy the containers? What qualitative factors should be considered? (CMA adapted)

Required information [The following information applies to the questions displayed below.] Xcite Equipment Co. manufactures and markets a number of rope products. Management is considering the future of Product XT, a special rope for hang gliding, that has not been as profitable as planned. Since Product XT is manufactured and marketed independently of the other products, its total costs can be precisely measured. Next year's plans call for a $260 selling price per 100 yards of XT rope. Its fixed costs for the year are expected to be $304,200, up to a maximum capacity of 550,000 yards of rope. Forecasted variable costs are $182 per 100 yards of XT rope. 3.

Replacement project example: Suppose Mayco wants to replace an existing printer with a new high-speed copier. The existing printer was purchased 13 years ago at a cost of $16,000. The printer is being depreciated using straight line basis assuming a useful life of 18 years and no salvage value. If the existing printer is not replaced, it will have zero market value at the end of its useful life. The new high-speed copier can be purchased for $23,000 (including freight and installation). Over its 5-year life, it will reduce labor and raw materials usage sufficiently to cut annual operating costs from $18,000 to $9,000. This reduction in costs will cause before-tax profits to rise by an equal amount. It is estimated that the new copier can be sold for $2,400 at the end of five years; this is its estimated salvage value. The old printer's current market value is $4,576. If the new copier is acquired, the old printer will be sold to another company. The company's marginal…
