Problem 11-14A Basic Net Present Value Analysis [LO1]

Doughboy Bakery would like to buy a new machine for putting icing and other toppings on pastries. These are now put on by hand. The machine that the bakery is considering costs $82,000 new. It would last the bakery for fifteen years but would require a $6,000 overhaul at the end of the twelfth year. After fifteen years, the machine could be sold for $5,000.

The bakery estimates that it will cost $12,000 per year to operate the new machine. The present manual method of putting toppings on the pastries costs $32,000 per year. In addition to reducing operating costs, the new machine will allow the bakery to increase its production of pastries by 6,000 packages per year. The bakery realizes a contribution margin of $0.50 per package. The bakery requires a 11% return on all investments in equipment. (Ignore income taxes.)
