I used excel, and i got it wrong. Pls help Teal, a large manufacturing company, currently uses a large printing press in its operations and is considering two replacements: thePDX341 and PDW581. The PDX costs $484,000 and has annual maintenance costs of $8,400 for the first 5 years and $13,400 for thenext 10 years. After 15 years, the PDX will be scrapped (salvage value is zero). In contrast, the PDW can be acquired for $121,000 andrequires maintenance of $26,800 a year for its 10-year life. The salvage value of the PDW is expected to be zero in 10 years. Assumingthat Teal must replace its current printing press (it has stopped functioning), has a(n) 10-percent cost of capital, and all cash flows areafter tax, which replacement press is the most appropriate? (Round answers to 2 decimal places, e.g. 125.25.)Chain Replication Approach:NPV of PDX341NPV of PDW581We would prefer$PDW581V

Dauten is offered a replacement machine which has a cost of 8,000, an estimated useful life of 6 years, and an estimated salvage value of 800. The replacement machine is eligible for 100% bonus depreciation at the time of purchase- The replacement machine would permit an output expansion, so sales would rise by 1,000 per year; even so, the new machines much greater efficiency would cause operating expenses to decline by 1,500 per year The new machine would require that inventories be increased by 2,000, but accounts payable would simultaneously increase by 500. Dautens marginal federal-plus-state tax rate is 25%, and its WACC is 11%. Should it replace the old machine?
Although the Chen Company’s milling machine is old, it is still in relatively good working order and would last for another 10 years. It is inefficient compared to modern standards, though, and so the company is considering replacing it. The new milling machine, at a cost of $110,000 delivered and installed, would also last for 10 years and would produce after-tax cash flows (labor savings and depreciation tax savings) of $19,000 per year. It would have zero salvage value at the end of its life. The project cost of capital is 10%, and its marginal tax rate is 25%. Should Chen buy the new machine?
Newmarge Products Inc. is evaluating a new design for one of its manufacturing processes. The new design will eliminate the production of a toxic solid residue. The initial cost of the system is estimated at 860,000 and includes computerized equipment, software, and installation. There is no expected salvage value. The new system has a useful life of 8 years and is projected to produce cash operating savings of 225,000 per year over the old system (reducing labor costs and costs of processing and disposing of toxic waste). The cost of capital is 16%. Required: 1. Compute the NPV of the new system. 2. One year after implementation, the internal audit staff noted the following about the new system: (1) the cost of acquiring the system was 60,000 more than expected due to higher installation costs, and (2) the annual cost savings were 20,000 less than expected because more labor cost was needed than anticipated. Using the changes in expected costs and benefits, compute the NPV as if this information had been available one year ago. Did the company make the right decision? 3. CONCEPTUAL CONNECTION Upon reporting the results mentioned in the postaudit, the marketing manager responded in a memo to the internal audit department indicating that cash inflows also had increased by a net of 60,000 per year because of increased purchases by environmentally sensitive customers. Describe the effect that this has on the analysis in Requirement 2. 4. CONCEPTUAL CONNECTION Why is a postaudit beneficial to a firm?
Flounder, a large manufacturing company, currently uses a large printing press in its operations and is considering two replacements: the PDX341 and PDW581. The PDX costs $504,000 and has annual maintenance costs of $10,400 for the first 5 years and $15,400 for the next 10 years. After 15 years, the PDX will be scrapped (salvage value is zero). In contrast, the PDW can be acquired for $126,000 and requires maintenance of $30,800 a year for its 10-year life. The salvage value of the PDW is expected to be zero in 10 years.

The Container Corporation of America is considering replacing an automatic painting machine purchased 9 years ago for $700,000. It has a market value today of $40,000. The unit costs $350,000 annually to operate and maintain. A new unit can be purchased for $800,000 and will have annual O&M costs of $120,000. If the old unit is retained, it will have no salvage value at the end of its remaining life of 10 years. The new unit, if purchased, will have a salvage value of $100,000 in 10 years. Using an EUAC measure and a MARR of 20% should the automatic painting machine be replaced if the old automatic painting machine is taken as a trade-in for its market value of $40,000? Solve, a. Use the cash flow approach (insider’s viewpoint approach). b. Use the opportunity cost approach (outsider’s view point approach).
Denny Corporation is considering replacing a technologically obsolete machine with a new state-of-the-art numerically controlled machine. The new machine would cost $290,000 and have a tenericals controll nortunately, the new machine would have no salvage value. The new machine would cost $48,000 per year to operate and maintain but would save $89,000 per year in labor and other costs. The old machine can be sold now for scrap for $29,000.

A manufacturer is considering the replacement of one of its boring machines with a newer and more efficient one. The relevant details for both defender and challenger are as follows:Defender: The current book value of the old boring machine is $50,000, and it has a remaining useful life of five years. The salvage value expected from scrapping the old machine at the end of five years is zero, but the company can sell the machine now to another firm in the industry for $10,000.Challenger: The new boring machine can be purchased at a price of $150,000 and has an estimated useful life of seven years. It has an estimated salvage value of $50,000 and is expected to realize economic savings on electric power usage, labor, and repair costs and to reduce the number of reworks. In total, annual savings of $80,000 will be realized if the new machine is installed.The firm uses an MARR of 12%.

Variable manufacturing costs are $36,000 per year for this machine. Information on two alternative replacement machines follows. Should Xinhong keep or replace its manufacturing machine? If the machine should be replaced, which alternative new machine should Xinhong purchase?
Denny Corporation is considering replacing a technologically obsolete machine with a new state-of-the-art numerically controlled machine. The new machine would cost $180,000 and would have a twelve-year useful life. Unfortunately, the new machine would have no salvage value. The new machine would cost $26, 000 per year to operate and maintain, but would save $58,000 per year in labor and other costs. The old machine can be sold now for scrap for $18,000. The simple rate of return on the new machine is closest to (Ignore income taxes.):
Kendra Company is considering replacing an old machine. The old machine was purchased for $100,700 and has a book value of $40,700 and should last four more years with no salvage value. The company believes that it could currently sell the old machine for $20,700. The new machine cost $80,700 and will have a 4-year life and a $10,700 salvage value. Currently, it costs $20,700 annually to operate the old machine. The new machine is more efficient and should reduce operating cost by 50%. Based on quantitative analysis, should Kendra Company replace the old machine?
