Hillsong Inc. manufactures snowsuits. Hillsong is considering
purchasing a new sewing machine at a cost of $2.45 million. Its
existing machine was purchased five years ago at a price of $1.8
million; six months ago, Hillsong spent $55,000 to keep it
operational. The existing sewing machine can be sold today for
$240,438. The new sewing machine would require a one-time, $85,000
training cost. Operating costs would decrease by the following
amounts for years 1 to 7:
Year 1 $390,900
2 399,800
3 410,100
4 425,400
5 434,000
6 434,900
7 436,400
The new sewing machine would be depreciated according to the
declining-balance method at a rate of 20%. The salvage value is
expected to be $379,100. This new equipment would require
maintenance costs of $94,000 at the end of the fifth year. The cost
of capital is 9%.
