An injection molding machine can be purchased and installed for $90,000. It is in the seven-year GDS property class and is expected to be kept in service for eight years. It is believed that $10,000 can be obtained when the machine is disposed of at the end of year eight. The net annual value added (i.e., revenues less expenses) that can be attributed to this machine is constant over eight years and amounts to $15,000. An effective income tax rate of 40% is used by the company, and the after-tax MARR equals 15% per year.
What is the MV of the investment at end of year 4?
What is the PW of the investment? Hint, it is negative

You want to determine whether the following four suggestions (i.e., e, f, g, h) would improve the company’s performance. Determine the effects of each suggestion on operating income, contribution margin per unit, contribution margin percentage, breakeven point in units, and breakeven point in sales dollars.
Calculate the effects of each suggestion independently of the other suggestions. In other words, use the original baseline case data and make the first change (e); use the original baseline case data and make the second change (f); and so on. However, do not overwrite the original baseline case. The easiest way to do this is to copy the original data to a new sheet and then replace the original data parameters. To copy a sheet, click on the sheet name. Select “Move or Copy.” Click on the “Create a copy” box. Click OK. Rename your new sheet to indicate the name of the new scenario. For example, you could name the sheet for (e) ‘Commission.’ To rename a sheet, right click on the sheet name. Select “Rename.” Key in the new name.
Put all personnel on commission. This action would affect the sales salaries and commissions expense by eliminating the fixed portion and increasing the variable portion by $4.50 per unit. Sales would increase by 44,000 units.
Redesign the package for the product. This would decrease the variable direct materials cost by $1.50 per unit but would increase the fixed factory overhead by $36,000.
Launch a new advertising campaign. This would increase fixed advertising expense by $348,000 but would increase sales volume by 4,800 units.
Reduce the selling price of the product by $15.00 per unit. This would increase sales volume by 16,800 units.
