You must evaluate a proposal to buy a new milling machine. The purchase price of the milling machine, including shipping and installation costs, is $154,000, and the equipment will be fully depreciated at the time of purchase. The machine would be sold after 3 years for $46,000. The machine would require a $9,000 increase in net operating working capital (increased inventory less increased accounts payable). There would be no effect on revenues, but pretax labor costs would decline by $43,000 per year. The marginal tax rate is 25%, and the WACC is 11%. Also, the firm spent $4,500 last year investigating the feasibility of using the machine. How should the $4,500 spent last year be handled? The cost of research is an incremental cash flow and should be included in the analysis. Only the tax effect of the research expenses should be included in the analysis. Last year's expenditure should be treated as a terminal cash flow and dealt with at the end of the project's life. Hence, it should not be included in the initial investment outlay. Last year's expenditure is considered an opportunity cost and does not represent an incremental cash flow. Hence, it should not be included in the analysis. Last year's expenditure is considered a sunk cost and does not represent an incremental cash flow. Hence, it should not be included in the analysis. What is the initial investment outlay for the machine for capital budgeting purposes after the 100% bonus depreciation is considered, that is, what is the Year 0 project cash flow? Enter your answer as a positive value. Round your answer to the nearest dollar. $ What are the project's annual cash flows during Years 1, 2, and 3? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to the nearest dollar. Year 1: $ Year 2: $ Year 3: $ Should the machine be purchased?

Nick and Tim are considering contributing toward the creation of a water fountain. Each can choose whether to contribute $300 to the water fountain or to keep that $300 for a pool table.

Since a water fountain is a public good, both Nick and Tim will benefit from any contributions made by the other person. Specifically, every dollar that either one of them contributes will bring each of them $0.70 of benefit. For example, if both Nick and Tim choose to contribute, then a total of $600 would be contributed to the water fountain. So, Nick and Tim would each receive $420 of benefit from the water fountain, and their combined benefit would be $840. This is shown in the upper left cell of the first table.

Since a pool table is a private good, if Nick chooses to spend $300 on a pool table, Nick would get $300 of benefit from the pool table and Tim wouldn't receive any benefit from Nick's choice. If Nick still spends $300 on a pool table and Tim chooses to contribute $300 to the water fountain, Nick would still receive the $210 of benefit from Tim's generosity. In other words, if Nick decides to keep the $300 for a pool table and Tim decides to contribute the $300 to the public project, then Nick would receive a total benefit of $300+$210=$510$300+$210=$510, Tim would receive a total benefit of $210, and their combined benefit would be $720. This is shown in the lower left cell of the first table.

Complete the following table, which shows the combined benefits of Nick and Tim as previously described.

Of the four cells of the table, which gives the greatest combined benefits to Nick and Tim?

When both Nick and Tim contribute to the water fountain

When neither Nick nor Tim contributes to the water fountain

When Nick contributes to the water fountain and Tim doesn't, or vice versa

Now, consider the incentive facing Nick individually. The following table looks similar to the previous one, but this time, it is partially completed with the individual benefit data for Nick. As shown previously, if both Nick and Tim contribute to a public good, Nick receives a benefit of $420. On the other hand, if Tim contributes to the water fountain and Nick does not, Nick receives a benefit of $510.

Complete the right-hand column of the following table, which shows the individual benefits of Nick.

Hint: You are not required to consider the benefit of Tim.

If Tim decides to contribute to the water fountain, Nick would maximize his benefit by choosing   to the water fountain. On the other hand, if Tim decides not to contribute to the water fountain, Nick would maximize his benefit by choosing   to the water fountain.

Critical Thinking

The global marketplace has witnessed an increased pressure from customers and competitors in manufacturing as well as service sector (Basu, 2001; George, 2002). Due to the rapidly changing global marketplace only those companies will be able to survive that will deliver products of good quality at cheaper rate and to achieve their goal companies try to improve performance by focusing on cost cutting, increasing productivity levels, quality and guaranteeing deliveries in order to satisfy customers (Raouf, 1994).

Increased global competition leads the industry to increasing efficiency by means of economies of scale and internal specialization so as to meet market conditions in terms of flexibility, delivery performance and quality (Yamashina, 1995). The changes in the present competitive business environment are characterized by profound competition on the supply side and keen indecisive in customer requirements on the demand side. These changes have left their distinctive marks on the different aspect of the manufacturing organizations (Gomes et al., 2006). With this increasing global economy, cost effective manufacturing has become a requirement to remain competitive.

To meet all the challenges organizations try to introduce different manufacturing and supply techniques. Management of organizations devotes its efforts to reduce the manufacturing costs and to improve the quality of product. To achieve this goal, different manufacturing and supply techniques have been employed. The last quarter of the 20th century witnessed the adoption of world-class, lean and integrated manufacturing strategies that have drastically changed the way manufacturing firm’s leads to improvement of manufacturing performance (Fullerton and McWatters, 2002).
