Can you please show me how to do this on excel with formulas. I am having a difficult time understanding how to incorporate the depreciation into the problem! Thank you

You are evaluating two different milling machines to replace your current aging machine. Machine A costs $248868, has a three-year life, and has pretax operating costs of $58935 per year. Machine B costs $406397, has a five-year life, and has pretax operating costs of $33004 per year. For both milling machines, use straight-line depreciation to zero over the project’s life and assume a salvage value of $40886. Your tax rate is 34 % and your discount rate is 10 %.

What is the EAC for Machine A?

The Rosa model of Mohave Corp. is currently manufactured as a very plain umbrella with no decoration. The company is considering changing this product to a much more decorative model by adding a silk-screened design and embellishments. A summary of the expected costs and revenues for Mohave’s two options follows:      

Required:
1. Determine the increase or decrease in profit if Mohave sells the Rosa Umbrella with the additional decorations.

  

2. Should Mohave add decorations to the Rosa umbrella?

3-a. Suppose that the higher price of the decorated umbrella is expected to reduce estimated demand for this product to 19,000 units. Determine the increase or decrease in profit if Mohave sells the Rosa Umbrella with the additional decorations.

.1 Individuals’ Predisposition toward Change How people react to change depends a lot on how they learned to handle change and ambiguity as children. One person’s parents may have been patient, flexible, and understanding, and from the time the child was weaned she may have learned there were positive compensations for the loss of immediate gratification. Thus, she will associate making changes with love and approval. Another person’s parents may have been unreasonable and unyielding, forcing him to do things (piano lessons, for example) that he didn’t want to do. Thus, he will be distrustful of making changes because he will associate them with demands for compliance.134

2. Surprise and Fear of the Unknown When radically different changes are introduced without warning—for example, without any official announcements—the office rumor mill will go into high gear, and affected employees will become fearful of the implications of the changes. It is essential for change leaders to explain the rationale for change, to educate people about the personal implications of change, and to garner commitment to change.135

3. Climate of Mistrust Trust involves reciprocal faith in others’ intentions and behavior. Mistrust encourages secrecy, which causes deeper mistrust, putting even well-conceived changes at risk of failure. Managers who trust their employees make the change process an open, honest, and participative affair. All told, employees who feel fairly treated by managers during change are less likely to resist.136

4. Fear of Failure Intimidating changes on the job can cause employees to doubt their capabilities. Self-doubt erodes self-confidence and cripples personal growth and development.

5. Loss of Status or Job Security Administrative and technological changes that threaten to alter power bases or eliminate jobs—as often happens during corporate restructurings that threaten middle-management jobs—generally trigger strong resistance.

6. Peer Pressure Even people who are not themselves directly affected by impending changes may actively resist in order to protect the interests of their friends and coworkers.

7. Disruption of Cultural Traditions or Group Relationships Whenever individuals are transferred, promoted, or reassigned, it can disrupt existing cultural and group relationships. Example: Traditionally, Sony Corp. promoted insiders to new positions. When an outsider, Howard Stringer, was named as the next chairman and CEO and six corporate officers were asked to resign, creating a majority board of foreigners, the former CEO, Nobuyuki Idei, worried the moves might engender strong employee resistance.137

8. Personality Conflicts Just as a friend can get away with telling us something we would resent hearing from an adversary, the personalities of change agents can breed resistance.

9. Lack of Tact or Poor Timing Introducing changes in an insensitive manner or at an awkward time can create employee resistance. Employees are more apt to accept changes when managers effectively explain their value, as, for example, in demonstrating their strategic purpose to the organization.

10. Nonreinforcing Reward Systems Employees are likely to resist when they can’t see any positive rewards from proposed changes, as, for example, when one is asked to work longer hours without additional compensation. Where do you stand on change? Do you tend to accept and embrace change, or do you have tendencies to resist it? The following self-assessment will provide feedback on your attitudes toward change. If your scores indicate resistance, you should consider what can be done to move your attitudes in a more positive direction. ● Then create an initial posting addressing two of the ten reasons on the list. Give examples of times when you have seen these two reasons in action, and tell about the resulting outcome. What would you suggest to make things work out for the better?

Aggregate planning is greatly concerned with matching anticipated demand with capacity. If the two deviate, in other words, if anticipated demand differs from capacity, management may implement an approach to either alter demand, alter capacity, or a combination of both.

Describe the options focused on altering demand. Then, describe options focused on altering supply.

Replacement Analysis

Although the Chen Company's milling machine is old, it is still in relatively good working order and would last for another 10 years. It is inefficient compared to modern standards, though, and so the company is considering replacing it. The new milling machine, at a cost of $40,000 delivered and installed, would also last for 10 years and would produce after-tax cash flows (labor savings and depreciation tax savings) of $8,300 per year. It would have zero salvage value at the end of its life. The Project cost of capital is 10%, and its marginal tax rate is 35%.
Should Chen buy the new machine?

Yes? No?
