78. Carlson Manufacturing has some equipment that needs to be rebuilt or replaced. The
following information has been gathered relative to this decision:
Present Equipment New Equipment
Purchase cost new $50,000 $48,000
Remaining book value $30,000 -
Cost to rebuild now $25,000 -
Major maintenance at the end of 3 years $8,000 $5,000
Annual cash operating costs $10,000 $8,000
Salvage value at the end of 5 years $3,000 $7,000
Salvage value now $9,000 -
Carlson uses the total cost approach to net present value analysis and a discount rate of 12%.
Regardless of which option is chosen, rebuild or replace, at the end of five years Carlson
Manufacturing will have no future use for the equipment.
