Problem 03.056 Shifted Decreasing Gradients The City of San Antonio is considering various options for providing water in its 50-year plan, including desalting. One brackish aquifer is expected to yield desalted water that will generate revenue of $4.1 million per year for the first 4 years, after which less production will decrease revenue by 10% per year each year. If the aquifer will be totally depleted in 25 years, what is the present worth of the desalting option revenue at an interest rate of 6% per year? The present worth of the desalting option revenue at an interest rate of 6% per year is determined to be $
We project unit sales for a new household-use laser-guided cockroach search and destroy system as follows: Unit Sales 100,500 112,500 135,500 141,500 94,500 Year 1 2 3 4 5 The new system will be priced to sell at $470 each. The cockroach eradicator project will require $2,100,000 in net working capital to start, and total net working capital will rise to 15% of the change in sales. The variable cost per unit is $340, and total fixed costs are $2,400,000 per year. The equipment necessary to begin production will cost a total of $22 million. This equipment is mostly industrial machinery and thus qualifies for CCA at a rate of 20%. In five years, this equipment will actually be worth about 20% of its cost. The relevant tax rate is 35%, and the required return is 16%. Based on these preliminary estimates, what is the NPV of the project? (Enter the answer in dollars. Do not round your intermediate calculations. Round the final answer to 2 decimal places. Omit $ sign in your response.) NPV $…
If the annual worth of the project is -7500 (negative 7500), its annual benefits are 2000 yearly, the operating costs are 500 yearly, and the project runs for 18 years, if i=12% then the first cost of this project is most nearly 55078 no correct answer 64418 74365 52344 O 65265
A firm is must choose to buy the GSU-3300 or the UGA-3000. Both machines make the firm’s production process more efficient which in turn increases incremental cash flows. The GSU-3300 produces incremental cash flows of $24,998.00 per year for 8 years and costs $99,590.00. The UGA-3000 produces incremental cash flows of $29,475.00 per year for 9 years and cost $126,038.00. The firm’s WACC is 8.32%. What is the equivalent annual annuity of the GSU-3300? Assume that there are no taxes.

Lifewear, a manufacturer of women's sports clothes, is considering adding a line of skirts and jackets. The production would take place in a part of its factory that is currently not being used. The first output would be available in time for the 2021 fall season. The following information is available. Answer parts (a) through (d). New Product Line Information First cost in 2020 ($) 15,100,000 Planned output (units/year) 324,000 Observed, current dollar MARR before tax Study period Materials 0.25 6 years Year 2020 Prices ($/unit) Labour 12 8.25 35 Output a. What is the real internal rate of return? (This is most easily done with a spreadsheet.) The real internal rate of return is about percent. (Round to one decimal place as needed.) b. What inflation rate will make the real MARR equal to the real internal rate of return? The inflation rate would need to be about percent. (Round to two decimal places as needed.) c.

The account will pay 5% annual interest. $6 $6 $6 $in thousands of 5 - ST 10 11 = The amount Keiser Mining Company should deposit TODAY is closest to: a. $45,900 b. $48,200 c. $50,600 d. $58,500
Littrell's Nursery needs a new irrigation system. System one will cost $145,000, have annual maintenance costs of $10,000, and need an overhaul at the end of year six costing $30,000. System two will have first year maintenance costs of $5,000 with increases of $500 each year thereafter. System two would not require an overhaul. Both systems will have no salvage value after 12 years. If Littrell's cost of capital is 4%, using annual worth analysis determine the maximum Littrell's should be willing to pay for system two.
A transit system is considering buying 6 more buses to provide better service. It will cost $100,000 for buying a new bus and $15,000 per year for maintenance and operation for the following 8 years. If the city’s MARR is 8%, what is the equivalent uniform annual cost of this project? Assume the bus has no value at the end of 8 years.
