- In 2018, the Port of Spain General Hospital purchases a scanner at a cost of $ 100,000. The scanner has a useful life of 5 years with no residual value. It is depreciated using the straight line method and its annual operating costs are $ 120,000. In 2019 the hospital is approached by another supplier to purchase a more modern machine for $ 115,000. This new machine has a life span of 4 years and will save $ 25,000 in annual operating costs. The new supplier is willing to buy the old scanner for $ 30,000. Required: Compute the gain or loss if the old scanner is replaced in 2019. 2. Advise the hospital on the purchase of the new scanner.Huntington Medical Center purchased a used lowfield MRI scanner 2 years ago for $445,000. Its operating cost is $272,000 per year and it can be sold for $150,000 anytime in the next 3 years. The Center’s director is considering replacing the presently owned MRI scanner with a state-of-the-art 3 Tesla machine that will cost $2.2 million. The operating cost of the new machine will be $340,000 per year, but it will generate extra revenue that is expected to amount to $595,000 per year. The new unit can probably be sold for $800,000 three years from now. You have been asked to determine how much the presently owned scanner would have to be worth on the open market for the AW values of the two machines to be the same over a 3-year planning period. The Center’s MARR is 20% per year.lMiller Dental, Inc., is considering replacing its existing laser checking system, which was purchased 3 years ago at a cost of $568,000. The laser checking can be sold today for a lump sum of $253,000. It is being depreciated using MACRS and a 5-year recovery period (see MACRS table at the end of slides for depreciaition rates). A new laser checking system will cost $870,000 to purchase and install. Replacement of the planned laser checking system would not involve any change in net working capital. Assuming a 20% tax rate, calculete the initial investment associated with the replacement project.
- On January 2, 2021, Wildhorse Hospital purchased a $104,000 special radiology scanner from Penny Worth Inc. The scanner has a useful life of five years and will have no disposal value at the end of its useful life. The straight-line method of depreciation is used on this scanner. Annual operating costs with this scanner are $105,200. Approximately one year later, the hospital is approached by Kingbird Technology salesperson Nancy Jackson, who indicates that purchasing the scanner in 2021 from Penny Worth was a mistake. She points out that Kingbird has a scanner that will save Wildhorse Hospital $27,000 a year in operating expenses over its four-year useful life. She notes that the new scanner will cost $119,000 and has the same capabilities as the scanner purchased last year. The hospital agrees that both scanners are of equal quality. The new scanner will have no disposal value. Kingbird agrees to buy the old scanner from Wildhorse Hospital for $55,200. Assume Wildhorse Hospital sells…Riener Hospital has an x-ray machine with a book value of $60,000 and a remaining useful life of three years. At the end of the three years the equipment will have a zero-salvage value. Reiner can sell the old machine now for $32,000 and can purchase a new machine for $145,000. The old machine has variable manufacturing costs of $50,000 per year. The new machine will reduce variable manufacturing costs by $27,000 per year over the three-year life of the new machine. The total increase or decrease in net income by replacing the current machine with the new machine (ignoring the time value of money) is: Multiple Choice $32,000 decrease. $76,000 increase $18,000 decrease $52,000 increase $22,000 increase DAerotron Electronics is considering the purchase of a water filtration system to assist in circuit board manufacturing. The system costs $40,000. It has an expected life of 7 years at which time its salvage value will be $7,500. Operating and maintenance expenses are estimated to be $2,000 per year. If the filtration system is not purchased, Aerotron Electronics will have to pay Bay City $12,000 per year for water purification. If the system is purchased, no water purification from Bay City will be needed. Aerotron Electronics must borrow half of the purchase price, but they cannot start repaying the loan for 2 years.
