Granfield Company has a piece of manufacturing equipment with a book value of $36,500 and a remaining useful life of four years. At the end of the four years the equipment will have a zero salvage value. The market value of the equipment is currently $21,300. Granfield can purchase a new machine for $113,000 and receive $21,300 in return for trading in its old machine. The new machine will reduce variable manufacturing costs by $18,300 per year over the four-year life of the new machine. The total increase or decrease in net income by replacing the current machine with the new machine (ignoring the time value of money) is:

($18,500)

Explanation:

Book value of manufacturing equipment = $36,500

Current market value of equipment = $21,300

Cost of new machine = $113,000

Cash received from trading old machine = $21,300

Variable manufacturing costs of new machine reduced by $18,300 per year, over the four year

Total increase/decrease in net income = Cost of new machine + Cash received from trading old machine + Reduction in variable manufacturing costs

= ($113,000) + $21,300 + $18,300 × 4

= ($113,000) + $21,300 + $73,200

= ($18,500)

It therefore means that the total decrease in net income by replacing the current machine with the new machine is $18,500
