More info On January 3, 2013, Helen Weinkin, a star salesperson for a machine tool manufacturer, tells Mr. Breen, "I wish I had known earlier of your purchase plans. I can supply you with a technically superior machine for $105,000. The machine you just purchased can be sold for $50,000. I guarantee that our machine will save $38,000 per year in cash operating costs, although it too will have no disposal value at the end of 3 years." Breen examines some technical data. Although he has confidence in Weinkin's claims, Breen contends, "I'm locked in now. My alternatives are clear: (a) Disposal will result in a loss, (b) keeping and using the 'old' equipment avoids such a loss. I have brains enough to avoid a loss when my other alternative is recognizing a loss. We've got to use that equipment until we get our money out of it." The annual operating costs of the old machine are expected to be $48,000, exclusive of depreciation. Sales, all in cash, will be $900,000 per year. Other annual cash expenses will be $830,000 regardless of this decision. Assume that the equipment in question is the company's only fixed asset. Ignore income taxes and the time value of money. (Assume the savings of $38,000 per year in cash operating costs relate specifically to the annual operating costs of the machine.) On January 2,2013 , the S.H. Breen Company installed a brand-new $60,000 special molding machine for producing a new product. The product and the machine have an expected life of 3 years. The machine's expected disposal value at the end of 3 years is zero. (Click the icon to view the additional information.) Requirement 1. Prepare statements of cash receipts and disbursements as they would appear in each of the next 3 years under both alternatives. What is the total cumulative increase or decrease in cash for the 3 years? Begin the statement by showing the cash receipts and disbursements assuming that the company keeps the old equipment, and then complete the statement by showing the cash receipts and disbursements assuming that the company replaces the old equipment. (Use a minus sign or parentheses to show a cash outflow. Leave any unused cells blank.)
