Esquire Company needs to acquire a molding machine to be used in its manufacturing process. Two types of machines that would be appropriate are presently on the market. The company has determined the following

Machine A could be purchased for $69,000. It will last 10 years with annual maintenance costs of $2,200 per year. After 10 years the machine can be sold for $7,245.
Machine B could be purchased for $57,500. It also will last 10 years and will require maintenance costs of $8,800 in year three, $11,000 in year six, and $13,200 in year eight. After 10 years, the machine will have no salvage value.

Required:
Assume an interest rate of 8% properly reflects the time value of money in this situation and that maintenance costs are paid at the end of each year. Calculate the present value of Machine A & Machine B. Which machine Esquire should purchase?

Answer:

Esquire should purchase Machine B

Explanation:

Below is the calculation of the present values of Machine A & Machine B.

Machine A             Period    Amount    Present Value Factor   Present Value

Purchase Cost            0         ($69,000)                  1                        ($69,000)

Maintenance Cost    1 - 10      ($2,200)                 6.71008               ($14,762)

Salvage Value             10         $7,245                  0.46319                $3,356

Present Value of A                                                                              ($80,406)

Machine B            Period    Amount     Present Value Factor   Present Value

Purchase Cost            0         ($57,500)                  1                        ($57,500)

Maintenance Cost

Year 3                          3         ($8,800)               0.79383                ($6,986)

Year 6                          6         ($11,000)              0.63017                 ($6.932)

Year 8                          8         ($13,200)             0.54027                 ($7,132)

Present Value of B                                                                            ($78,550)

Portia owns and manages a sporting apparel company. Consider the given average cost (AC), average variable cost (AVC), and marginal cost (MC) curves for track suits. All but the MC curve have been placed incorrectly. Portia knows that the minimum average cost for a track suit is $7 and the minimum of average variable cost is $5.

Required:
Draw the AC and AVC curves so that they are consistent with the marginal cost curve.

Karen owns a designer clothing store in a small town. Since her store is the only store that offers designer outfits, she charges high prices for them. In the same town, another store deals in similar apparels but offers them at cheaper rates. Karen wants to maintain the exclusivity of her store. She is planning to slash prices.

The Brisbane Manufacturing Company produces a single model of a CD player. Each player is sold for $182 with a resulting contribution margin of $71. Brisbane's management is considering a change in its quality control system. Currently, Brisbane spends $42,000 a year to inspect the CD players. An average of 1,900 units turn out to be defective: 1,520 of them are detected in the inspection process and are repaired for $75. If a defective CD player is not identified in the inspection process, the customer who receives it is given a full refund of the purchase price. The proposed quality control system involves the purchase of an x-ray machine for $210,000. The machine would last for five years and would have salvage value at that time of $18,000. Brisbane would also spend $470,000 immediately to train workers to better detect and repair defective units. Annual inspection costs would increase by $25,000. Brisbane expects this new control system to reduce the number of defective units to 400 per year. 350 of these defective units would be detected and repaired at a cost of only $41 per unit. Customers who still receive defective players will be given a refund equal to 120% of the purchase price.

Required:
a. What is the Year 3 cash flow if Brisbane keeps using its current system?
b. What is the Year 3 cash flow if Brisbane replaces its current system?
c. Assuming a discount rate of 8%, what is the net present value if Brisbane keeps using its current system?
d. Assuming a discount rate of 8%, what is the net present value if Brisbane replaces its current system?

Luther Industries has no debt and expects to generate free cash flows of $48 million each year. Luther believes that if it permanently increases its level of debt to $100 million, the risk of financial distress may cause it to lose some customers and receive less favorable terms from its suppliers.

Suppose Luther's tax rate is 40%, the risk-free rate is 6%, the expected return of the market is 14%, and the beta of Luther's free cash flows is 1.25 (with or without leverage). The value of Luther with leverage is closest to:_______.
A) 11.5%.
B) 10.8%.
C) 9.8%.
D) 13.0%.
