| 6,000 | Not acquired yet | |
| Book value | $15,000 | Not acquired yet |
| Current disposal value | $10,000 | Not acquired yet |
| Installation cost | Not applicable | $2,000 |
| Annual operating cost | $12,000 | $5,000 |
| Useful life | 7 years | 5 years |
| Current age | 2 years | 0 years |
| Remaining useful life | 5 years | 5 years |
| Terminal disposal value (in 5 years) | $0 | $0 |
Ignore the effect of income taxes and the time value of money.
- 1. Which of the costs and benefits above are relevant to the decision to replace the oven?
- 2. What information is irrelevant? Why is it irrelevant?
- 3. Should Janet’s Bakery purchase the new oven? Provide support for your answer.
- 4. Is there any conflict between the decision model and the incentives of the manager who has purchased the “old” oven and is considering replacing it only two years later?
- 5. At what purchase price would Janet’s Bakery be indifferent between purchasing the new oven and continuing to use the old oven?
