The supervisor of the county Department of Transportation (DOT) is considering the replacement of some machinery. This machinery has zero book value but its current market value is $840. One possible alternative is to invest in new machinery, which has a cost of $39,400. This new machinery would produce estimated annual operating cash savings of $12,700. The estimated useful life of the new machinery is four years. The DOT uses straight-line depreciation. The new machinery has an estimated salvage value of $2,040 at the end of four years. The investment in the new machinery would require an additional investment in working capital of $3,000, which would be recovered after four years. If the DOT accepts this investment proposal, disposal of the old machinery and investment in the new equipment will take place on December 31, 20x1. The cash flows from the investment will occur during the calendar years 20x2 through 20x5. Use Appendix A for your reference. (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.) Required: Prepare a net-present-value analysis of the county DOT’s machinery replacement decision. The county has a 10 percent hurdle rate. (Round your "Discount factors" to 3 decimal places and final dollar amounts to whole dollars. Negative amounts should be indicated by a minus sign.)

Required information [The following information applies to the questions displayed below.] Washington County’s Board of Representatives is considering the construction of a longer runway at the county airport. Currently, the airport can handle only private aircraft and small commuter jets. A new, long runway would enable the airport to handle the midsize jets used on many domestic flights. Data pertinent to the board’s decision appear below. Cost of acquiring additional land for runway $ 82,500 Cost of runway construction 280,000 Cost of extending perimeter fence 19,908 Cost of runway lights 45,000 Annual cost of maintaining new runway 22,500 Annual incremental revenue from landing fees 57,500 In addition to the preceding data, two other facts are relevant to the decision. First, a longer runway will require a new snowplow, which will cost $180,000. The old snowplow could be sold now for $18,000. The new, larger plow will cost $16,000 more in annual operating costs. Second, the County Board of Representatives believes that the proposed long runway, and the major jet service it will bring to the county, will increase economic activity in the community. The board projects that the increased economic activity will result in $94,000 per year in additional tax revenue for the county. In analyzing the runway proposal, the board has decided to use a 10-year time horizon. The county’s hurdle rate for capital projects is 18 percent. Use Appendix A for your reference. (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.) Required: 1. Compute the initial cost of the investment in the long runway. 2. Compute the annual net cost or benefit from the runway. 3-a. Determine the IRR on the proposed long runway. (Round your answer to the nearest whole percent.) 3-b. Should it be built considering IRR?

The chief ranger of the state’s Department of Natural Resources is considering a new plan for fighting forest fires in the state’s forest lands. The current plan uses eight fire-control stations, which are scattered throughout the interior of the state forest. Each station has a four-person staff, whose annual compensation totals $320,000. Other costs of operating each base amount to $220,000 per year. The equipment at each base has a current salvage value of $240,000. The buildings at these interior stations have no other use. To demolish them would cost $22,000 each. The chief ranger is considering an alternative plan, which involves four fire-control stations located on the perimeter of the state forest. Each station would require a six-person staff, with annual compensation costs of $420,000. Other operating costs would be $230,000 per base. Building each perimeter station would cost $320,000. The perimeter bases would need helicopters and other equipment costing $620,000 per station. Half of the equipment from the interior stations could be used at the perimeter stations. Therefore, only half of the equipment at the interior stations would be sold if the perimeter stations were built. The state uses a 10 percent hurdle rate for all capital projects. The chief ranger has decided to use a 10-year time period for the analysis. Use Appendix A for your reference. (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.) Required: Use the incremental-cost approach to prepare a net-present-value analysis of the chief ranger’s decision between the interior fire-control plan and the perimeter fire-control plan. (Round your "Discount factors" to 3 decimal places. Negative amounts should be indicated by a minus sign.)

Remember to take into account expected units to be sold, desired units in ending inventory and estimated units in beginning inventory when calculating total units to be produced.

Once sales quantities are estimated, the expected sales revenue can be determined.

Remember to take into account materials required for production, desired ending materials inventory and estimated beginning materials inventory when calculating direct materials to be purchased.
