Parker & Stone, Inc., is looking at setting up a new manufacturing plant in South Park to produce garden tools. The company bought some land six years ago for $5.4 million in anticipation of using it as a warehouse and distribution site, but the company has since decided to rent these facilities from a competitor instead. If the land were sold today, the company would net $5.7 million. The company wants to build its new manufacturing plant on this land; the plant will cost $12.9 million to build, and the site requires $810,000 worth of grading before it is suitable for construction. What is the proper cash flow amount to use as the initial investment in fixed assets when evaluating this project? (Enter your answer as a positive value in dollars, not millions of dollars, e.g., 1,234,567.) Cash flow amount You are evaluating two different silicon wafer milling machines. The Techron I costs $258,000, has a three-year life, and has pretax operating costs of $69,000 per year. The Techron || costs $450,000, has a five-year life, and has pretax operating costs of $42,000 per year. For both milling machines, use straight-line depreciation to zero over the project's life and assume a salvage value of $46,000. If your tax rate is 25 percent and your discount rate is 10 percent, compute the EAC for both machines. (A negative answer should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round Intermediate calculations and round your answers to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) Techron 1 Techron II Which machine do you prefer? Techron 1 Techron 11
