(19) A company is considering the purchase of a new machine that will increase operating efficiency and thus save $2,000 each year in labor costs. It is estimated that the machine will be used for ten years and it can then be sold for $1,000. If money is worth 6%, how much can the company afford to pay for this machine?
Since there is annual saving in the labor cost, the company can pay an amount equal to the present value of labor cost saving and also the present value of salvage value at the year end of 10.
Workings are as follows:
Year | Savings in labour cost | PV factor @6% | Discounted Savings |
1 | 2000 | 0.943 | 1887 |
2 | 2000 | 0.890 | 1780 |
3 | 2000 | 0.840 | 1679 |
4 | 2000 | 0.792 | 1584 |
5 | 2000 | 0.747 | 1495 |
6 | 2000 | 0.705 | 1410 |
7 | 2000 | 0.665 | 1330 |
8 | 2000 | 0.627 | 1255 |
9 | 2000 | 0.592 | 1184 |
10 | 2000 | 0.558 | 1117 |
10 | 1000 | 0.558 | 558 |
15279 |
Hence the amount that can be paid by the company to purchase a machine is $15,280(Rounded off to nearest $)
