A city has purchased a new asphalt paving machine for $300,000. The city comptroller states that the machine will be depreciated using a stright line method. At the end of 8 years, the machine will be sold with an expected salvage value of 60,000. a. Determine the function V = f(t) which expresses the book value of the machine V as a function of its age t. b. What is the book value expected to be when the machine is 6 years old?

Metal Recycling and Salvage receives the opportunity to salvage scrap metal and other materials from an old industrial site. The current owners of the site will sign over the site to Enviro at no cost. Enviro intends to extract scrap metal at the site for 24 months and then will clean up the site, return the land to useable condition, and sell it to a developer. Projected costs associated with the project follow: Read the requirements2. Requirement 1. Assuming that Enviro expects to salvage 70,000tons of metal from the site, what is the total project life cycle cost? Total Life-Cycle Costs Variable costs: Metal extraction and processing Fixed costs: Metal extraction and processing Rent on temporary buildings Administration Clean-up Land restoration Selling land Total life-cycle cost Requirement 2.

A real-estate developer seeks to determine the most economical height for a new office building, which will be sold after five years. The developer uses an interest rate of i for its evaluation. The relevant net revenues and salvage values on after-tax basis are given below: Building Cost Annual Lease Revenue Resale Value 2 floors 3 floors 4 floors 5 floors $500,000 $750,000 $1,250,000 $2,000,000 $199,100 $169,200 $149,200 $378,150 $600,000 $900,000 $2,000,000 $3,000,000 (a) The developer is uncertain about the exact interest rate i, but is certain that it is in the range from 10% to 25%. For each value of i = {10%, 15%, 20%, 25%}, determine which building option is the most economical. (b) Suppose that the developer's interest rate turns out to be 15%. If the the resale costs are 30% overestimated for each height plan (i.e., the resale value turns out to be 70% of $600,000 for the 2 floors, 70% of $900,000, and so on), how does that scenario affect the PW values for the floor options?

7. Seri Kayangan Local City Council intends to buy a garbage truck to replace the broken old truck. There are two alternatives that is mutually exclusive for the garbage truck and the details information regarding this are shown in the table below: Alternative X Alternative Y 60,000 Cost and Sales Items 9,500 Initial Cost, RM Operation and Maintenance Cost per month, RM Repair cost for every 2 years, RM Repair cost for every 4 years, RM Salvage value, RM Lifespan, Year 1,500 1,700 5,000 7,000 7,000 10,000 3 (i) Do the evaluation on both alternatives using Present Worth (PW) method. Assume the interest for the loan is 12% compounded every month. (ii) Determine which alternative is the best alternative to be selected.
The owners of a new planned unit development have installed a package sewage treatment plant that will be paid for by rates charged to the users. package sewage treatment plant cost new = $1,000,000 life of the plant = 240 months %3D salvage value at EOM 240 = 50 O & M cost = gradient in O & M = $400/month/month $40,000/month %3D periodic overhaul every 10 months (first at EOM 4, last at EOM 234) = $100,000/cach gradient in periodic overhaul = $5,000each/10 months number of customers = 6,000 charge per customer = $16.00/month %3D The owners borrowed money at 1 percent per month interest in order to construct the plant, so while they do not expect to make a big profit, they do want the plant to earm a rate of return of at least 1 percent. Is the rate shown above sufficient to carn 1 percent rate of return? (Ans. At a trial i= 1%, the NAW=+$930/month, so the plant earns more than 1% rate of return.)
Sheep Ranch Golf Academy is evaluating new golf practice equipment. The "Dimple- Max" equipment costs $137,000, has a 4-year life, and costs $10,600 per year to operate. The relevant discount rate is 9 percent. Assume that the straight-line depreciation method is used and that the equipment is fully depreciated to zero. Furthermore, assume the equipment has a salvage value of $10,100 at the end of the project's life, The relevant tax rate is 23 percent. All cash flows occur at the end of the year. What is the equivalent annual cost (EAC) of this equipment? (A negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) Answer is complete but not entirely correct. $ 40,871.52 X EAC
1. A municipality 5 years ago purchased a pump for its sewage treatment plant at $6,000. The pump had annual operating costs of $3,200 and these are expected to continue. This pump is expected to continue to operate satisfactorily for 6 additional years, at which tie it may be expected to have negligible salvage value. The municipality has an opportunity to purchase a new pump for $8,500. The new pump is estimated to have a life of 6 years, negligible salvage value at the end of its life, and an annual operating cost of $1,400. If the new pump is purchased, the old pump will be sold for $1,600. The interest rate is 12% . With no knowledge of future replacements and a 6 year study period, what option should be selected? Answer [AE(12)D = $3589 and AE(12)c = $3467]
