Acct 5200Chapter 22 Handout Questions
1. Assume your goal in life is to retire with $2,800,000. How much would you need to save at the end of
each year if interest rates average 10% and you have a 30-year work life? (Round the final answer to the
nearest whole dollar.)
A) $9333
B) $17,022
C) $186,667
D) $160,464
2. Morrow Cleaners has been considering the purchase of an industrial dry-cleaning machine. The
existing machine is operable for three more years and will have a zero disposal price. If the machine is
disposed now, it may be sold for $170,000. The new machine will cost $360,000 and an additional cash
investment in working capital of $170,000 will be required. The new machine will reduce the average
amount of time required to wash clothing and will decrease labor costs. The investment is expected to net
$130,000 in additional cash inflows during the first year of acquisition and $290,000 each additional year
of use. The new machine has a three-year life, and zero disposal value. These cash flows will generally
occur throughout the year and are recognized at the end of each year. Income taxes are not considered in
this problem. The working capital investment will not be recovered at the end of the asset’s life.
What is the net present value of the investment, assuming the required rate of return is 6%? Would the
company want to purchase the new machine?
A) $264,290; yes
B) $243,489.592; yes
C) $($243,489.592); no
D) $($264,290); no
3. Clayton Hospital has been considering the purchase of a new x-ray machine. The existing machine is
operable for three more years and will have a zero disposal price. If the machine is disposed now, it may
be sold for $170,000. The new machine will cost $700,000 and an additional cash investment in working
capital of $115,000 will be required. The new machine will reduce the average amount of time required to
take the x-rays and will allow an additional amount of business to be done at the hospital. The
investment is expected to net $150,000 in additional cash inflows during the year of acquisition and
$180,000 each additional year of use. The new machine has a five-year life, and zero disposal value. These
cash flows will generally occur throughout the year and are recognized at the end of each year. Income
taxes are not considered in this problem. The working capital investment will not be recovered at the end
of the asset’s life.
What is the net present value of the investment, assuming the required rate of return is 9%? Would the
hospital want to purchase the new machine? If PV of $1 at 9% is:

is expected to have zero value at the end of the four-year period. The disposal value of the old machine at
the time of replacement is zero. What is the internal rate of return?
A) 12%
B) 13%
C) 14%
D) 15%
5. Network Service Center is considering purchasing a new computer network for $82,000. It will require
additional working capital of $13,000. Its anticipated eight-year life will generate additional client
revenue of $33,000 annually with operating costs, excluding depreciation, of $15,000. At the end of eight
years, it will have a salvage value of $9,500 and return $5,000 in working capital. Taxes are not
considered.

Answer the following questions using the information below:
Morrow Corp manufactures expensive tables. Its varnishing
department is fully automated and requires substantial inspection
to keep the machines operating properly. An improperly
varnished table is very expensive to correct. Inspection hours for

employees. Eight quarts of varnish were used, on average, for
each table. The standard amount of varnish per table is nine
quarts. The cost of inspection for September was equal to the
budgeted amount of $40,000.

Answer the following questions using the information below:
Atlanta Products has a budget of $900,000 in 2021 for prevention
costs. If it decides to automate a portion of its prevention
activities, it will save $80,000 in variable costs. The new method
will require $40,000 in training costs and $100,000 in annual
equipment costs. Management is willing to adjust the budget for
an amount up to the cost of the new equipment. The budgeted
production level is 150,000 units.
Appraisal costs for the year are budgeted at $600,000. The new
prevention procedures will save appraisal costs of $50,000.
Internal failure costs average $15 per failed unit of finished goods.
The internal failure rate is expected to be 3% of all completed
items. The proposed changes will cut the internal failure rate by
one-third. Internal failure units are destroyed. External failure
costs average $54 per failed unit. The company’s average external
failures average 3% of units sold. The new proposal will reduce
this rate by 50%. Assume all units produced are sold and there
are no ending inventories.

the procedures are automated in 2021? Will management agree
with the changes?
A) $60,000 decrease, yes
