Ray Summers Company operates at full capacity of 10,840 units per year. The company, however, is still unable to fully meet the demand for its product, estimated at 15,000 units annually. This level of demand is expected to continue for at least another four years.<\/p>

<\/p>

To meet the demand, the firm is considering the purchase of new equipment for $580,000. This equipment has an estimated useful life of 4 years; estimated sales (disposal) value of this asset at the end of 4 years is $50,000 (pretax). The engineering division estimates that installing, testing, and training for the use of the equipment will cost $12,000. These costs are to be capitalized as part of the cost of the new equipment.<\/p>

<\/p>

An adjacent vacant warehouse can be leased for the duration of the project for $10,000 per year, which cost would be included as part of fixed manufacturing overhead. The warehouse needs $58,000 of renovations to make it suitable for manufacturing. The renovation cost is to be capitalized as part of the cost of the new equipment. The lease terms call for restoring the warehouse to its original condition at the end of the lease. The restoration is estimated to cost $20,000, a cost that is fully deductible for tax purposes. Current pretax operating profit per unit is as follows:<\/p>

<\/p>

Per UnitSales price$240Variable costs:Manufacturing$72Marketing24$96Fixed costs:Manufacturing$25Marketing and administrative1540136Operating profit before tax$104<\/p>

<\/p>

The new equipment would have no effect on the variable costs per unit. All current fixed costs are expected to continue with the same total amount. The per-unit fixed cost includes depreciation expenses of $5 for manufacturing and $4 for marketing and administration.<\/p>

<\/p>

Additional fixed manufacturing costs of $140,000 (excluding depreciation on the new equipment) will be incurred each year if the equipment is purchased. The company must also hire an additional marketing manager to serve new customers. The annual cost for the new marketing manager, support staff, and office expense is estimated at approximately $100,000. The company expects to be in the 40% tax bracket for each of the next 4 years. The company requires a minimum after-tax rate of return of 12% on investments and for tax purposes uses straight-line depreciation with a $50,000 salvage value assumed. (UseTable 1andTable 2.)<\/p>
