The buildings are depreciated straight-line over 30 years with no residual value, plant and equipment are depreciated over 13 years with no residual value, and the trucks are depreciated over nine years with no residual value. Shut-down severance pay costs to employees are estimated to be $422,000 now, but will decline to $330,000 by the end of 2015. Working capital (current assets less current liabilities) is expected to remain unchanged in the foreseeable future. Ignore long-term bonds payable as they are an allocation from head office.
The expected net income is $75,000 per year from the factory until the end of 2015.
Required -
(a) Analyze the property, plant, and equipment and trucks accounts to determine their ESTIMATED REMAINING USEFUL LIVES.
(b) Determine the RELEVANT CASH FLOWS for continuing to operate the factory until the end of 2013, instead of closing it immediately.
(c) Calculate the NET PRESENT VALUE of continuing to operate the factory using your estimated cash flows from part (b). Assume a discount rate of 7%.
(d) What is your RECOMMENDATION to Johnson Control Systems Limited concerning the operation of the factory?
