Question
Gillian is deciding whether to replace an old machine, and has assembled the following information:
|
|
Old Machine |
New Machine |
|
Life at purchase: |
3 years |
3 years |
|
Remaining life: |
1 year |
3 years |
|
Cost at purchase: |
$9,000 |
$12,000 |
|
Depreciation (p.a.): |
$3,000 |
$4,000 |
|
Revenue (p.a.) |
$6,000 |
$7,000 |
|
Expenses- year 1 year 2 year 3 |
$2,000 |
$1,000 |
|
Salvage Value |
Book Value |
Book Value |
She believes that the second-hand market value of either machine will decline over time in line with the depreciation schedule (for example, the old machine should sell for $3,000 today). If there are no taxes, and Gillian’s required rate of return is 15% p.a.:
i) What is the optimal replacement cycle for the new machine?
ii) Should the old machine be replaced now, or next year?
(Note: If you are unable to complete part (i), state any necessary assumptions and then complete part (ii).)
Summary
The question belongs to Finance and it discusses about calculation of optimal replacement cycle for new machine and when should the old machine be replaced.

Download Full SolutionFrom the third semester of my computer science and engineering course I needed help with my programming homework. HwA came very handy at that point of time because they carefully understood the requirements and helped me get a good score.
I was having a lot of difficulty managing all the assignments that we needed to complete for my post graduate program in Financial Accounting. When I needed to write an accounting assignment essay on cash flow statement I really did not have the time to do all the research and then write the assignment. With the New Zealand accounting assignment expert at HwA I did not have to worry one bit for my assignment writing and scored an A in it.
I am really happy with the service I have got so far from here! They know our Taxation law syllabus in Singapore and provide solutions which are well appreciated by the teachers at my university.
The prices for the assignment help at HwA are very reasonable and the quality of electric field assignment writing that I received was of a very high quality. There is never any compromise in the quality of work by the electric field assignment experts and they are extremely professional in their approach to any kind of electric field assignment questions.
I was badly stuck with an argumentative essay writing assignment when I started searching for help on the net. I never thought that I will get any sort of specialized help for the Australian universities and when HwA promised to deliver that, I thought why not? Then I chatted with the expert and I got to know that she was also from the same university as I am in. It was kind of cool as she knew my syllabus and helped me out by writing and excellent essays which helped me get great grades.

Hello Allison,I love the 2nd image that you did! I also, had never heard of SumoPaint, is something that I will have to exolpre a bit! I understand completely the 52 (or so) youtube videos that you probably watched. Sometimes they have what you want, sometimes they don't! However, it is always satisfying when you are able to produce something that you have taught yourself. Great job!Debra 0 likes
