A company is evaluating the replacement of an old machine with a
new one. Last year, the company hired a consultant to conduct a
feasibility study about this replacement project, which cost them
$500,000 at that time. The consulting fees were expensed last
year.
The old machine was purchased 2 years ago for $3 million and was
being depreciated using MACRS 5-year class (20%, 32%, 19.2%,
11.52%, 11.52% and 5.76%). The old machine can be sold for $1
million at this time. If the old machine is not replaced, it can be
sold for $400,000 four years from now.
The replacement machine has a cost of $2 million, an estimated
useful life of 4 years. This machine will be depreciated using
straight-line method to 0 salvage value. The replacement machine
would permit an output expansion, so sales would rise by $1 million
per year; even so, the new machine’s much greater efficiency would
cause operating expenses to decline by $250,000 per year. The new
machine would require that inventories be increased by $1 million,
but accounts payable and accrued expenses would simultaneously
increase by $500,000 and 200,000 respectively. The interest expense
on the debt component of the capital required for this project will
be $250,000 annually. The new machine can be sold for $50,000 at
the end of 4 years to another company.
The company’s marginal federal-plus-state tax rate is 40%, and its
WACC is 12%.
