You were appointed the manager of Drive Systems Division (DSD) at Tunes2Go, a manufacturer of portable music devices using the latest developments in hard drive technology, on December 15 last year. DSD manufactures the drive assembly, M-24, for the company's most popular product. Your bonus is determined as a percentage of your division's operating profits before taxes.

One of your first major investment decisions was to invest $6.0 million in automated testing equipment for the M-24. The equipment was installed and in operation on January 1 of this year.

This morning, J. Bradley Finch III, the assistant manager of the division (and, not coincidentally, the grandson of the company founder and son of the current CEO) told you about an offer by Pan-Pacific Electronics. Pan-Pacific wants to rent to DSD a new testing machine that could be installed on December 31 (only two weeks from now) for an annual rental charge of $1,410,000. The new equipment would enable you to increase your division's annual revenue by 8 percent. This new, more efficient machine would also decrease fixed cash expenditures by 7 percent.

Without the new machine, operating revenues and costs for the year are estimated to be as follows. Sales revenue and fixed and variable operating costs are all cash.
Sales revenue $ 9,010,000
Variable operating costs 1,140,000
Fixed operating costs 4,380,000
Equipment depreciation 970,000
Other depreciation 760,000

Would you rent the new aquipment?

Suppose you win a small lottery and have the choice of two ways to be paid: you can accept the money in a lump sum or in a series of payments over time. if you pick the lump sum, you get $2,950 today. if you pick payments over time, you get three payments: $1,000 today, $1,000 1 year from today, and $1,000 2 years from today. 1) at an interest rate of 6% per year, the winner would be better off accepting the (lump sum / payments over time), since it has the greater present value. 2) at an interest rate of 9% per year, the winner would be better off accepting the (lump sum / payments over time), since it has the greater present value. 3) years after you win the lottery, a friend in another country calls to ask your advice. by wild coincidence, she has just won another lottery with the same payout schemes. she must make a quick decision about whether to collect her money under the lump sum or the payments over time. what is the best advice to give your friend? a) the lump sum is always better. b) the payments over time are always better. c) it will depend on the interest rate; advise her to get a calculator. d) none of these answers is good advice.
