Problem 13.52 Blossom Foods manufactures and sells frozen dinners. The packaging machine was acquired 4 years ago for $492,000, and the machine can be used for another 6 years, with a residual value of $42,000. Recently, the machine has broken down quite frequently, which caused bottleneck in production and back orders for many retailers. Many retailers have filed several complaints about unreliable delivery. The annual production and cost information is as follows: Direct materials Direct labour Manufacturing Overhead* $121,000 268,000 209,000 *Thirty percent of the manufacturing overhead is variable. A salesperson heard about Blossom's problem and approached Blossom with a new packaging machine costing $636,000, which can last 6 years without any residual value at the end. The new machine will reduce direct materials and direct labour by 25%, and variable manufacturing overhead by 30%. In addition, Blossom will be able to reduce the working capital by $20,000 when the new machine is in operation; however, at the end of the project, $20,000 of working capital will be required. If Blossom replaces the old machine with the new machine, the old machine can be sold for $30,000. Blossom's investment policies include 5% required rate of return and a 3-year payback period. x Your answer is incorrect. Try again. What is the net present value for the new packaging machine?
