PART TWO IS THE ONLY PART I NEED SOLVED

Mid-Michigan Manufacturing Inc. (MMMI) wishes to determine whether it would be advisable to replace an existing production machine with a new one. The have hired your firm as a consultant to determine whether the new machine should be purchased. The data you will need is as follows:

  • MMMI has decided to set a project timeline of 4 years.
  • The new machine will cost $1,100,000. It will be depreciated (straight line) over a five-year period (its estimated useful life), assuming a salvage value of $100,000.
  • The old machine, which has been fully depreciated, could be sold today for $253,165. The company has received a firm offer for the machine from Williamston Widgets, and will sell it only if they purchase the new machine.

  • Additional Sales generated by the superior products made by the new machine would be $665,000 in Year 1. In Years 2 & 3 sales are projected to grow by 8.5% per year. However, in Year 4, sales are expected to decline by 5% as the market starts to become saturated.

  • Total expenses have been estimated at 60.75% of Sales.

  • The firm is in the 21% marginal tax bracket and requires a minimum return on the replacement decision of 9%.

  • A representative from Stockbridge Sprockets has told MMMI that they will buy the machine from them at the end of the project (the end of Year 4) for $100,000. MMMI has decided to include this in the terminal value of the project.

  • The project will require $100,000 in Net Working Capital, 54% of which will be recovered at the end of the project.
