| 2. | A product is currently manufactured on a plant which is not fully depreciated for tax purpose and has a book value of Rs.60,000. This plant was established six years ago at a cost of Rs.1,20,000. Per unit cost of the product is as follows : | Rs. | | Direct labour and material | 24 | | Indirect labour | 8 | | Variable overheads | 16 | | Fixed overheads | 16 | | 64 |
Normally, 10,000 units are produced in the plant. It is expected that old machine can be used for indefinite period after suitable repairs which are estimated to cost Rs.40,000 per annum. A manufacturer of modern machines offers new machine of latest technology,after trading off old machine for Rs.30,000, at a cost of Rs,3,00,000. The production cost per unit on this new machine is projected as under : | Rs. | | Direct labour and material | 14 | | Indirect labour | 12 | | Variable overheads | 12 | | Fixed overheads | 20 | | 58 |
The fixed overheads are allocated from other departments plus department of plant and machinery. The new machine is expected to last for 10 years at the end of which, salvage value of new machinery will be Rs.20,000. The minimum rate of return isexpected to be 10%. It is also expected that in future, the demand for the product will stay at 10,000 units per annum. For tax purposes, the cost of old and new machinery will be depreciated in 10 years and the tax rate applicable is 30%. Advise whether the new machinery be installed or not.
