Question - Malta Ltd is considering replacing an existing production line with a new line that has a greater output capacity and operates with less labour than the existing line.
Existing Production line
-The old line was constructed 5 years ago for $300,000. It had an expected useful life of 10 years and an estimated market value of zero at the end of its life.
-If you sell the old line now, it is expected to be sold for $165,000.New Production line
-You have just completed a $35,000 feasibility study for a new production line.
-The new line would cost $1,000,000, has a 5-year life and is expected to be sold for $200,000 at the end of its life.
-Because the new line is more automated, it would require fewer operators, resulting in a saving of operating expense of $120,000 per year.
-The new line is however expected to have a negative impact on other side of the business and an annual operating cost of this side effect is expected to be $50,000 per year.
-Additional sales with the new machine are expected to result in additional net cash inflows of $250,000 per year.
-To support the increased business resulting from the new production line, accounts receivables are expected to increase by $80,000, inventories by $45,000 and accounts payables by $42,000. The investment in working capital will be recovered in the terminal year.
Malta Ltd's production lines are depreciated using the straight-line method, the tax rate is 30% and the opportunity cost of capital is 12%.
