Management of Plascencia Corporation is considering whether to purchase a new model 370 machine costing $536,000 or a new model 220 machine costing $463,000 to replace a machine that was purchased 9 years ago for $484,000. The old machine was used to make product 143L until it broke down last week. Unfortunately, the old machine cannot be repaired. Management has decided to buy the new model 220 machine. It has less capacity than the new model 370 machine, but its capacity is sufficient to continue making product 143L. Management also considered, but rejected, the alternative of simply dropping product 143L. If that were done, instead of investing $463,000 in the new machine, the money could be invested in a project that would return a total of $488,000. In making the decision to buy the model 220 machine rather than the model 370 machine, the sunk cost was:

A packaging factory is considering the replacement of some equipment. The new plan is to install equipment to produce a new can that uses less energy and less metal than the old one. Current equipment was installed 5 years ago for $100 million and can be sold for $35 million. Due to obsolescence the depreciation of this equipment results in an annual depreciation of $4 million for the next years. If you keep this equipment for one more year your operating and maintenance costs will be $65 million increasing by $3 million/year each year thereafter. The new equipment will cost $130 million, with an economic life of 8 years and a salvage value of $10 million. Its operating and maintenance costs will be $49 million. For a TMAR = 15% p.a. what new equipment should be installed? Make a recommendation about it. (Answer: The solution would be to use the current equipment for another two years and then exchange it for new equipment.
