A company is considering replacing an old piece of machinery, which cost $597,600 and has $351,400 of accumulated depreciation to date, with a new machine that has a purchase price of $483,600. The old machine could be sold for $64,900. The annual variable production costs associated with the old machine are estimated to be $157,400 per year for eight years. The annual variable production costs for the new machine are estimated to be $99,300 per year for eight years.

Required:
a. Prepare a differential analysis dated April 29 to determine whether to continue with (Alternative 1) or replace (Alternative 2) the old machine.
b. What is the sunk cost in this situation?

Solution :

                      Differential Analysis : April 29

Suppose that the tax rate on personal income, tp, is equal to 40%; the corporate tax rate, tc, is equal to 35%; and the capital gains tax rate, tcg, is 20%. Also assume that the before-tax rate of return on investment to both the corporate and partnership form is 15% per year. These tax rates and investment returns are constant over time. On the basis of these facts, identify the following as true or false. (Support your answers with numerical examples.)

a. The annualized after-tax rate of return to investing in the corporate form increases with the length of the investor’s holding period. Explain.
b. The annualized after-tax rate of return to investing in the partnership form increases with the length of the partner’s holding period. Explain.
c. If a corporation paid out its entire after-tax profits as fully taxable dividends each year, shareholders would realize a lower before-tax rate of return than if the corporation retained the after-tax profits. Explain.
d. Because the corporate tax rate is below the personal tax rate, the corporate form is always preferred to the partnership form.
e. Because corporate income is subject to two levels of taxation, the partnership form is always preferred to the corporate form.

Sound Tek Inc. manufactures electronic stereo equipment. The manufacturing process includes printed circuit (PC) board assembly, final assembly, testing, and shipping. In the PC board assembly operation, a number of individuals are responsible for assembling electronic components into printed circuit boards. Each operator is responsible for soldering components according to a given set of instructions. Operators work on batches of 50 printed circuit boards. Each board requires 4 minutes of board assembly time. After each batch is completed, the operator moves the assembled boards to the final assembly area. This move takes 12 minutes to complete. The final assembly for each stereo unit requires 20 minutes and is also done in batches of 50 units. A batch of 50 stereos is moved into the test building, which is across the street. The move takes 20 minutes. Before conducting the test, the test equipment must be set up for the particular stereo model. The test setup requires 30 minutes. The units wait while the setup is performed. In the final test, the 50-unit batch is tested one at a time. Each test requires 9 minutes. The completed batch, after all testing, is sent to shipping for packaging and final shipment to customers. A complete batch of 50 units is sent from testing to shipping. The Shipping Department is located next to testing. Thus, there is no move time between these two operations. Packaging and labeling requires 12 minutes per unit.

Required:
Determine the amount of value-added and non-value-added lead time and the value-added ratio in this process for an average stereo unit in a batch of 45 units.

A firm is about to begin pilot plant operation on a process it has developed. One item of optional equipment that could be obtained is a heat exchanger unit. The company finds that a unit now available for $30,000 could be used in other company operations. It is estimated that the heat exchanger unit will be worth $35,000 at the end of 8 years. This seemingly high salvage value is due primarily to the fact that the $30,000 purchase price is really a rare bargain. If the firm believes 15% is an appropriate rate of return, what annual benefit is needed to justify the purchase of the heat exchanger unit
