Marginal cost-benefit analysis and the goal of the firm Ken Allen, capital budgeting analyst for Bally Gears, Inc., has been asked to evaluate a proposal. The manager of the automotive division believes that replacing the robotics used on the heavy truck gear line will produce total benefits of $533,000 (in today's dollars) over the next 5 years. The existing robotics would produce benefits of $374,000 (also in today's dollars) over that same time period. An initial cash investment of $213,200 would be required to install the new equipment. The manager estimates that the existing robotics can be sold for $89,000. Show how Ken will apply marginal cost-benefit amplysis techniques to determine the following: a. The marginal benefits of the proposed new robotics b. The marginal cost of the proposed new robotics c. The net benefit of the proposed new robotics. d. What should Ken recommend that the company do? Why? e. What factors besides the costs and benefits should be considered before the final decision is mado? a. The marginal (added) benefits of the proposed now robotics is $. (Round to the nearest dollar.) b. The marginal (added) cost of the proposed new robotics is $. (Round to the nearest dollar.) C. The net benefit of the proposed new robotics is $. (Round to the nearest dollar.) d. Ken Allen should recommend the company (Select the best answer below) O to replace the existing robotics because the net profit is positive. Oto not replace the existing robotics because the net profit is positive. e. Other factors that should be considered before the final decision is made are: (Choose all that apply.) A. Whether even better robotics may be available in a short while. B. Whether there will be additional training necessary with the new robotics. C. What will be the energy consumption of the new robotics. D. Make sure sunk costs are included
