Reference no: EM13510138
MVP Sports Equipment Company, is considering an investment in one of two machines. The sewing machine will increase productivity from sewing 120 baseballs per hour to sewing 220 per hour. The contribution margin is $0.36 per baseball. Assume that any increased production of baseballs can be sold. The second machine is an automatic packing machine for the golf ball line. The packing machine will reduce packing labor cost. The labor cost saved is equivalent to $24 per hour. The sewing machine will cost $256,300, have a 10-year life, and will operate for 1,400 hours per year. The packing machine will cost $141,600, have a 10-year life, and will operate for 1,200 hours per year. MVP seeks a minimum rate of return of 12% on its investments.
