Optimal Replacement Strategy For A Machine
Question
A machine for shaping corkscrews tends to break down more often as it ages, producing less cork screws for sale, and costing more to maintain. What is the optimal replacement strategy for the machine given the following data:
|
Cost of new machine |
$300 |
|
|
|
Age of machine (years) |
1 |
2 |
3 |
|
Revenue ($) |
340 |
280 |
200 |
|
Maintenance ($) |
40 |
50 |
60 |
|
Scrap Value ($) |
200 |
170 |
130 |
For tax purposes the corkscrew machine will be depreciated straight line over three years regardless of the replacement strategy adopted. The tax rate is 30% and investors cannot claim franking credits. The corkscrew manufacturer requires a 10% pa. after tax return on investments.
Summary
The question belongs to Finance and it discusses about optimal replacement strategy for a machine making corkscrews keeping in mind the tax rate.

Biochemistry was difficult to me right from the day I started to attend classes. I had problems in understanding the concepts. Then I found TheReliableTutor.com and my perspective towards the subject has completely changed. Learning became more interesting than before. Thanks to thereliabletutor.com

I was unsure about a communicable disease case study assigned to me on my final year of nursing study. Then when I browsed through the net for help I landed on HwA and found that their experts are really well equipped with knowledge and expertise pertaining to the subject. I am really happy with the assistance I had received and I recommend this site for all nursing students.

I had a very bad calculus background and for that reason I was unable to deal with the difficult sums given in the process control assignments. However, luckily for me I came across HwA and since then, never had to worry about these assignments any more.

I hugely owe to HwA for clearing my concepts as far as accounting entries are concerned. Previously I was not sure in which side of the balance sheet I need to put things like “labour overheadâ€, “capital investmentâ€, etc. But now, thanks to HwA, everything is crystal clear.
Scott Mitchell Student
All the curves used to confuse me a lot. I was not getting any direction while all of my classmates were cruising through their Monopoly, Oligopoly market equilibrium assignments. Then my friend Judith introduced me to HwA and then I felt much better after taking their economics homework help. They helped me understand and also get good marks.

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
