Question 1 (c): 5 Marks In a Factory, a Machine is considered to work for 624 hours in a month. It includes Maintenance Time of 24 hours and a Set Up Time of 60 hours. The cost of the Machine is ` 15,00,000. Its useful life is 10 years at the end of which the scrap value will be ` 60,000. The expense data relating to the Machine are as under Repairs and Maintenance per annum Consumable Stores per annum Rent of Building per annum (The machine under reference occupies 1/6th of the area) Supervisors Salary per month (Common to three Machines) Wages of Operator per machine per month General Lighting per month allocated to the Machine Power (25 units per hour) ` 1,81,440 ` 1,42,560 ` 2,16,000 ` 18,000 ` 7,500 ` 3,000 ` 6 per unit.

Power is required for productive purposes only. Set up time, though productive, does not require power. The Supervisor and Operator are permanent. Repairs and Maintenance and Consumable Stores vary with the running of the machine. Calculate a twotier machine hour rate for (a) Set Up time and (b) Running Time.

Question 1 (d): 5 Marks Nine Gems Ltd has just installed Machine R at a cost of ` 2 Lakhs. The machine has a 5year life with no Residual Value. The annual volume of production is estimated at 1,50,000 units, which can be sold at ` 6 per unit. Annual Operating costs are estimated at ` 2 Lakhs (excluding depreciation) at this output level. Fixed Costs are estimated at ` 3 per unit for the same level of production. The Company has just come across another model Machine S, capable of giving the same output at an annual operating cost of ` 1.80 Lakhs (excluding depreciation). There will be no change in Fixed Costs. Machine S costs ` 2.50 Lakhs, its Residual Value will be Nil after a useful life of 5 years. Nine Gems Ltd has an offer for sale of Machine R for ` 1,00,000. The cost of dismantling and removal will be ` 30,000. As the Company has not yet commenced operations, it wants to dispose off Machine R and install Machine S. The Company will be a zerotax Company for seven years in view of several incentives and allowances available. The cost of capital is 14% and the PV factors are as under Year PV Factor @ 14% 1 0.877 2 0.769 3 0.675 4 0.592 5 0.519

Advise whether the Company should opt for replacement. Will your answer be different if the Company has not installed Machine R and is in the process of selecting either R or S?
