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.)
