Exercise 12-3 (Video) Hillsong Inc. manufactures snowsuits. Hillsong is considering purchasing a new sewing machine at a cost of $2.45 million. Its existing machine was purchased five years ago at a price of $1.8 million; six months ago, Hillsong spent $55,000 to keep it operational. The existing sewing machine can be sold today for $240,352. The new sewing machine would require a one-time, $85,000 training cost. Operating costs would decrease by the following amounts for years 1 to 7: Year 1 $390,600 2 400,200 3 410,000 4 425,200 5 432,400 6 435,500 7 436,300 The new sewing machine would be depreciated according to the declining-balance method at a rate of 20%. The salvage value is expected to be $380,500. This new equipment would require maintenance costs of $94,900 at the end of the fifth year. The cost of capital is 9%. Click here to view PV table. Use the net present value method to determine the following: (If net present value is negative then enter with negative sign preceding the number e.g. -45 or parentheses e.g. (45). Round present value answer to 0 decimal places, e.g. 125. For calculation purposes, use 5 decimal places as displayed in the factor table provided.) Calculate the net present value. Net present value $ Determine whether Hillsong should purchase the new machine to replace the existing machine?

Smart Company prepared its annual financial statements dated December 31. The company reported its inventory using the FIFO inventory costing method and failed to evaluate its net realizable value at December 31. The preliminary income statement follows: Sales Revenue $ 302,000 Cost of Goods Sold Beginning Inventory $ 41,000 Purchases 204,000 Goods Available for Sale 245,000 Ending Inventory 95,400 Cost of Goods Sold 149,600 Gross Profit 152,400 Operating Expenses 72,000 Income from Operations 80,400 Income Tax Expense (30%) 24,120 Net Income $ 56,280 Assume you have been asked to restate the financial statements to incorporate LCM/NRV. You have developed the following data relating to the ending inventory: Item Quantity Purchase Cost Net Realizable Value per Unit Per Unit Total A 3,000 $ 5 $ 15,000 $ 6 B 2,000 8 16,000 6 C 8,100 4 32,400 6 D 3,200 10 32,000 7 $ 95,400 TIP: Inventory write-downs do not affect the cost of goods available for sale. Instead, the effect of the write-down is to reduce ending inventory, which increases Cost of Goods Sold and then affects other amounts in the income statement.
