Doughboy
Bakery would like to buy a new machine for putting icing and other
toppings on pastries. These are now put on by hand. The machine that the
bakery is considering costs $90,000 new. It would last the bakery for
eight years but would require a $7,500 overhaul at the end of the fifth
year. After eight years, the machine could be sold for $6,000.

The
bakery estimates that it will cost $14,000 per year to operate the new
machine. The present manual method of putting toppings on the pastries
costs $35,000 per year. In addition to reducing operating costs, the new
machine will allow the bakery to increase its production of pastries by
5,000 packages per year. The bakery realizes a contribution margin of
$0.60 per package. The bakery requires a 16% return on all investments
in equipment. (Ignore income taxes.)
