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 $92,000 new. It would last the bakery for ten years but would require a $8,500 overhaul at the end of the seventh year. After ten years, the machine could be sold for $7,500. The bakery estimates that it will cost $11,500 per year to operate the new machine. The present manual method of putting toppings on the pastries costs $31,000 per year. In addition to reducing operating costs, the new machine will allow the bakery to increase its production of pastries by 6,000 packages per year. The bakery realizes a contribution margin of $0.70 per package. The bakery requires a 13% return on all investments in equipment. (Ignore income taxes.) Click here to view Exhibit 13B-1 and Exhibit 13B-2, to determine the appropriate discount factor(s) using tables. Required: 1. What are the annual net cash inflows that will be provided by the new machine? (Omit the "$" sign in your response.) Annual net cash inflows $ 2. Compute the new machine's net present value. Use the incremental cost approach. (Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign. Round discount factor(s) to 3 decimal places, intermediate and final answers to the nearest dollar amount. Omit the "$" sign in your response.) Net present value $ Explanation: 1. The annual net cash inflows would be: Reduction in annual operating costs: Operating costs, present hand method $ 31,000 Operating costs, new machine 11,500 Annual savings in operating costs 19,500 Increased annual contribution margin: 6,000 packages × $0.70 per package 4,200 Total annual net cash inflows $ 23,700 2.
