Mace Company acquired equipment that cost $60,000, which will be depreciated on the assumption that the equipment will last six years and have a $4,000 residual value. Component parts are not significant and need not be recognized and depreciated separately. Several possible methods of depreciation are under consideration.

Required:
1. Prepare a schedule that shows annual depreciation expense for the first two years, assuming the following (Round your answer to nearest whole dollar.):

1. Declining-balance method, using a rate of 30%.
2. Productive-output method. Estimated output is a total of 210,000 units, of which 24,000 will be produced the first year; 36,000 in each of the next two years; 30,000 the fourth year; and 42,000 the fifth and sixth years.
3. Straight-line method.

2. Repeat your calculations for requirement 1, assuming a useful life of 10 years, and a declining-balance rate of 20% that reflects the longer life, but the same number of units of production. The residual value is unchanged.

The annualized cost of acquiring capacity for the new barracuda drives at Seagate is calculated as $25 per unit and the contibution margin for the product is $45 per unit.

a.) what service level(percentile of demand met) should seagate target for in building capacity? how much capacity will it build? the demand forcast for the barracuda drives is uniform between 100 and 200.

b.) how does this service level change, if Seagate outsources manufacturing to china, to arrive at an annualized cost of capacity of $10 per unit? How much capacity will it build?

c.) How does this service level change if the inbound shipment cost per unit from China to US reduces the margin per unit to $35? How much capacity will it build?

d.) Conduct the capacity calculations in all 3 scenarios above when the forcast for the barracuda drives is expected to follow the following distributions.

Required:

Prepare a flexible budget for 1,500 units, 1,800 units and 2,100 units.

You are evaluating a capital project for equipment with a total installed cost of $750,000. The equipment has an estimated life of 30 years, with an expected salvage value at the end of the project of $50,000. The project will be depreciated via simplified straight-line depreciation method. In addition, a working capital investment of $5,000 is required. The project replaces an old piece of equipment which is currently in service and is fully depreciated, but has an expected after-tax salvage value of $12,000. After replacing the old equipment, cash savings from decreased operating expenses are expected to amount of $200,000 per year. The firm;s marginal tax rate is 40 percent and the project cost of capital is 10%. What is the net present value of this project? Round to the nearest penny. Do not include a dollar sign in your answer.
