Kiddy Toy Corporation needs to acquire the use of a machine to
be used in its manufacturing process. The machine needed is
manufactured by Lollie Corp. The machine can be used for 12 years
and then sold for $17,000 at the end of its useful life. Lollie has
presented Kiddy with the following options: (FV of $1, PV of $1,
FVA of $1, PVA of $1, FVAD of $1 and PVAD of $1) (Use
appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.)
1.Buy machine. The machine could be purchased for $167,000
in cash. All maintenance and insurance costs, which approximate
$12,000 per year, would be paid by Kiddy.
2.Lease machine. The machine could be leased for a 12-year
period for an annual lease payment of $32,000 with the first
payment due immediately. All maintenance and insurance costs will
be paid for by the Lollie Corp. and the machine will revert back to
Lollie at the end of the 12-year period.
Required:
Assuming that a 10% interest rate properly reflects the time value
of money in this situation and that all maintenance and insurance
costs are paid at the end of each year, find the present value for
the following options. Ignore income tax considerations. Determine
which option Kiddy should choose. (Negative amounts should
be indicated by a minus sign. Round your final answers to nearest
whole dollar amount.)
PV (buying) = (annual incremental expense * PVIFA(10%,12)) + Initial investment - salvage * PVIF(10%,12) | ||||||||||
(12000 * 6.814) + 167000 - (17000 * 0.319) = 243345 | ||||||||||
PV (Leasing) = (annual lease * PVIFA(10%,12)) | ||||||||||
(32000 * 6.814)= 218048 | ||||||||||
Deciding in the absence of Taxation incidence, Kiddy T corporation should opt for "Leasing the machine" | ||||||||||
being lower PV of machine expense. |
