Doughboy Bakery would like to buy a new machine for putting icing and other toppings on pastries. These are now put on by hand. The machine that the bakery is considering costs $95,000 new. It would last the bakery for eleven years but would require a $11,500 overhaul at the end of the eighth year. After eleven years, the machine could be sold for $10,000. |

The bakery estimates that it will cost $14,500 per year to operate the new machine. The present manual method of putting toppings on the pastries costs $34,000 per year. In addition to reducing operating costs, the new machine will allow the bakery to increase its production of pastries by 9,000 packages per year. The bakery realizes a contribution margin of $1.00 per package. The bakery requires a 9% return on all investments in equipment. (Ignore income taxes.) |
