Management of Modugno Corporation has been considering a new model 240 machine costing $387,000 to
replace a machine that was purchased 7 years ago for $429,000. The old machine was used to make product
M25A until it broke down last week. Unfortunately, the old machine cannot be repaired.
The decision was made by Management to purchase the new model 240 machine. An alternate considered but
rejected was to simply drop the current M25A model. Had this alternate been considered instead of investing in
the new machine, the company could have invested in a project that would return $430,000.
