Question

Company faces the decision to either keep an older, more expensive machine, or replace it with a newer machine, which has a limited technical lifetime. All the available data can be found in the table below:

Using only the above data, please determine:

relevant cashflows in the next 3 years will be 6,917 for year1 , year 2 and year 3.

total cost of keeping the old machine for the next 3 years = 78,000

should Assemblor keep or replace the old machine, and explain why ?

Old machine acquisition cost New machine acquisition cost Bookvalue old machine today Yearly operational (outlay) cost old machine Yearly operational (outlay) cost new machine Sales value old machine today Sales value old machine end of useful life Tax rate Remaining useful life old machine in years Useful life new machine in years 80.000,00 50.000,00 30.000,00 16.000,00 9.000,00 31.000,00 25%

Explanation / Answer

cost of new machine

50000

cost of old machine

80000

Depreciation on new machine =50000/3

depreciation on old machine =30000/3

incremental depreciation

after tax sale value of old machine

30750

book value of old machine

sale value of old machine

31000

gain on sale of old machine

1000

incremental annual savings

16000-9000

after tax sale value = 31000-(1000*.25)
