Question

2 ask for cadh flows only, no present values. Since this problem is a capital budgeting problem, they are not worth any points, and require that you use the correct cash flows from 1 and 2 to determine the net present values of the two alternatives. You should you have unlimited tries. use the present value tables in the Coursepack The Brisbane Manufacturing Company produces a single model of a cD player. Eadh player is sold for $183 with a resulting contribution margin of $72. Brisbane's 2,100 units turn out to be defective 1,680 of them are detected in the management is considering a change in its quality control system. Currently, Brisbane spends $38,500 a year to inspect the CD players. An average of are detedted in the inspection process and are repaired for $80. If a defective CD player is not identified in the receives it is given a full refund of the purchase price. purchase of an x-ray machine for $200,000. The machine would last for four years and would have salvage value time of $21,000. Brisbane would also spend $620,000 immediately to train workers to better detect and repair defective units. Annual inspection costs at that would increase by $21,000. This new control system would reduce the number of defective units to and repaired at a cost of $47 per unit. Customers who sill received defective players would be given a refund equal to one-and-a-half times the purchase price. Osuestions 182 (Highlight the ANSWERS in the CHEGG explanation 1.

Explanation / Answer

1. Year 2 cash flow by using current system

Inspection cost = 38500

Cost of repairing 1680 defective units = 1680×80 = 134400

Cost of refund of defective units = (2100-1680)×183 = 76860

Total cash flow = 249760

2. Year 2 cash flow by replacing old system

Cost of inspection = 38500+21000 = 59500

Cost of repairing defective units = 300×47 = 14100

Cost of refund of defective units = 70×183×1.5 = 19215

Total cash flow = 92815

3. Net present value if current system is used

Annual cash outflow = 249760

Discount rate = 6%

Annuity factor for 4 years = 3.47

Net present value of cash outflow = 249760×3.47 = 866667

4. Net present value if current system is replaced

Year 0

Cash outflow = 200000+620000 = 820000

Year 1

Cash outflow = 92815×.943 = 87525

Year 2

Cash outflow = 92815×.890 = 82605

Year 3

Cash outflow = 92815×.840 = 77965

Year 4

Cash outflow = (92815×.792) - (21000×.792)

= 56877

Net present value of cash flow = 1124972
