Alternative A:
Cost to buy new machine: - $ 121,000
Cash received to trade in old machine: $ 46,000
Reduction in variable manufacturing costs: $ 10,300
Total change in 'net income': - $ 64,700 (see PS for a different and stricter view)
Alternative B: (assuming, the boxes to fill in are same as in Alternative A)
Cost to buy new machine: - $ 114,000
Cash received to trade in old machine: $ 46,000
Reduction in variable manufacturing costs: $ 23,100
Total change in 'net income': - $ 44,900 (see PS for a different and stricter view)
Xinhong will purchase Alternative B because the cash outflow is lesser than in Alternative A.
Working notes:
1. Reduction in variable manufacturing costs in Alternative A is: 33,200 - 22,900 = $ 10,300
2. Reduction in variable manufacturing costs in Alternative B is: 33,200 - 10,100 = $ 23,100
PS: If "the total change in net income", is to be interpreted strictly, it should mean that we shall consider depreciation, but not the costs of the alternatives, as well as the cash received to trade in the old machine. But as the expected useful lives or depreciation rates of Alternatives A and B are not provided, we cannot calculate depreciation. So, what we can work out is only the total net cash flow for the current year. For remaining years, the change would just be the Reduction in variable manufacturing costs (and change in depreciation, which is not provided). [This PS is for your academic interest].
