The Riteway Ad Agency provides cars for its sales staff. In the past, the company has always purchased its cars from a dealer and then sold the cars after three years of use. The company’s present fleet of cars is three years old and will be sold very shortly. To provide a replacement fleet, the company is considering two alternatives:
Purchase alternative: | The company can purchase the cars, as in the past, and sell the cars after three years of use. Ten cars will be needed, which can be purchased at a discounted price of $22,000 each. If this alternative is accepted, the following costs will be incurred on the fleet as a whole: |
Annual cost of servicing, taxes, and licensing | $ | 3,800 |
Repairs, first year | $ | 1,700 |
Repairs, second year | $ | 4,200 |
Repairs, third year | $ | 6,200 |
At the end of three years, the fleet could be sold for one-half of the original purchase price.
Lease alternative: | The company can lease the cars under a three-year lease contract. The lease cost would be $57,000 per year (the first payment due at the end of Year 1). As part of this lease cost, the owner would provide all servicing and repairs, license the cars, and pay all the taxes. Riteway would be required to make a $14,000 security deposit at the beginning of the lease period, which would be refunded when the cars were returned to the owner at the end of the lease contract. |
Riteway Ad Agency’s required rate of return is 16%.
Click here to view Exhibit 12B-1 and Exhibit 12B-2, to determine the appropriate discount factor(s) using tables.
Required:
1. What is the net present value of the cash flows associated with the purchase alternative?
2. What is the net present value of the cash flows associated with the lease alternative?
3. Which alternative should the company accept?

Problem 1-39 (Static) Cost Data for Managerial Purposes (LO 1-3)
Imperial Devices (ID) has offered to supply the state government with one model of its security screening device at “cost plus 20 percent.” ID operates a manufacturing plant that can produce 66,000 devices per year, but it normally produces 60,000. The costs to produce 60,000 devices follow:
Total Cost | Cost per Device |
|||||||
Production costs: | ||||||||
Materials | $ | 4,500,000 | $ | 75 | ||||
Labor | 9,000,000 | 150 | ||||||
Supplies and other costs that will vary with production | 2,700,000 | 45 | ||||||
Indirect cost that will not vary with production | 2,700,000 | 45 | ||||||
Variable marketing costs | 1,800,000 | 30 | ||||||
Administrative costs (will not vary with production) | 5,400,000 | 90 | ||||||
Totals | $ | 26,100,000 | $ | 435 | ||||
Based on these data, company management expects to receive $522 (= $435 × 120 percent) per monitor for those sold on this contract. After completing 500 monitors, the company sent a bill (invoice) to the government for $261,000 (= 500 monitors × $522 per monitor).
The president of the company received a call from a state auditor, who stated that the per monitor cost should be:
Materials | $ | 75 | |
Labor | 150 | ||
Supplies and other costs that will vary with production | 45 | ||
$ | 270 | ||
Therefore, the price per monitor should be $324 (= $270 × 120 percent). The state government ignored marketing costs because the contract bypassed the usual selling channels.
Required:
For each of the four situations, calculate the cost basis per device based on the information shown above. (Round intermediate calculations and final answers to 2 decimal places.)
Options:
Per Device Cost Basis | Recommended Price Per Device | |
Option A | ||
Option B | ||
Option C | ||
Option D |
