Finance

11. Assume that Monsanto Corporation is considering the renovation and/or replacement of some of its older and outdated carpet-manufacturing equipment. Its objective is to improve the efficiency of operations in terms of both speed and reduction in the number of defects. The companys finance department has compiled pertinent data that will allow it to conduct a marginal costbenefit analysis for the proposed equipment replacement. The cash outlay for new equipment would be approximately $600,000. The net book value of the old equipment and its potential net selling price add up to $250,000. The total benefits from the new equipment (measured in todays dollars) would be $900,000. The benefits of the old equipment over a similar period of time (measured in todays dollars) would be $300,000.
