Question

Two alternative machines will produce the same product, but one is capable of higher-quality work, which can be expected to return greater revenue. The following are relevant data:

Machine A

Machine B

Capital investment

$16,000

$29,000

Life

12 years

8 years

Terminal BV (and MV)

$5,000

$1,500

Annual receipts

$145,000

$186,000

Annual expenses

$140,000

$166,000

Determine which is the better alternative, assuming repeatability and using SL depreciation, an income tax rate of 40%, and after-tax MARR of 9%.

Please Find Annual Worth, of Machine A and B as well

Explanation / Answer

Answer:

Machine A:

(A/P, 9%, 12) = 0.1397

(A/F, 9%, 12) = 0.0497

Annual depreciation = (16000 – 5000) / 12 = $917

BTCF = Annual Revenues – Annual expenses

Taxable income = BTCF - Annual depreciation

Annual tax amount = 0.40*Taxable income

ATCF = BTCF - Annual tax amount

After tax EUACA = -16,000 (A/P, 9%, 12) + 5000 (A/F, 9%, 12) + 3366.8 = 5850.5

(A/P, 9%, 8) = 0.1807

(A/F, 9%, 8) = 0.0907

Annual depreciation = (29000-1500) /8 = $3438

BTCF = Annual Revenues – Annual expenses

Taxable income = BTCF - Annual depreciation

Annual tax amount = 0.40*Taxable income

ATCF = BTCF - Annual tax amount

After tax EUACB = -29,000 (A/P, 9%, 8) + 1500 (A/F, 9%, 8) + 13375.2 = $18751.6

EUACB > EUACA

Therefore, machine B is a better alternative
