One year ago, your company purchased a machine used in manufacturing for $95,000. You have learned that a new machine is available that offers many advantages and you can purchase it for $165,000 today. It will be depreciated on a straight-line basis over 10 years and has no salvage value. You expect that the new machine will produce a gross margin (revenues minus operating expenses other than depreciation) of $55,000 per year for the next 10 years. The current machine is expected to produce a gross margin of $23,000 per year. The current machine is being depreciated on a straight-line basis over a useful We of 11 years, and has no salvage value, so depreciation expense for the current machine is $8,636 per year. The market value today of the current machine is $55,000. Your company's tax rate is 35%, and the opportunity cost of capital for this type of equipment is 10% Should your company replace its year-old machine? The NPV of replacing the year-old machine is $(Round to the nearest dollar) The Jones Company has just completed the third year of a five-year MACRS recovery period for a piece of equipment it originally purchased for $299,000 a. What is the book value of the equipment? b. If Jones sells the equipment today for $182,000 and its tax rate is 35%, what is the after-tax cash flow from selling it? c. Just before it is about to soil the equipment, Jones receives a new order. It can take the new order if it keeps the old equipment. Is there a cost to taking the order and if so, what is it? Explain. (Assume the new order will consume the remainder of the machine's useful life.) Note: Assume that the equipment is put into use in year 1. a. What is the book value of the equipment? The book value of the equipment after the third year is $(Round to the nearest dollar.)
