A company is considering constructing a plant to manufacture a proposed new product. The land costs $300,000, the building costs $600,000, the equipment costs $250,000, and $100,000 additional working capital is required. It is expected that the product will result in sales of $750,000 per year for 10 years, at which time the land can be sold for $400,000, the building for $350,000, and the equipment for $50,000. All of the working capital would be recovered at the EOY 10. The annual expenses for labor, materials, and all other items are estimated to total $475,000. If the company requires a MARR of 15% per year on projects of comparable risk, determine if it should invest in the new product line. Use the AW method.

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.

Please no written by hand and no emage John is evaluating his truck inventory. One three year old vehicle has a book value of $22 500. Currently its maintenance costs are $1 100 per year. They have increased by 20% annually and are expected to increase by the same percentage in the future. Calculate the equivalent annual costs for the first five years knowing that the van's purchase price was $32 000 and the minimum acceptable rate of return is 15%.
An elevator system in an office building can either be refurbished or replaced. Refurbishing the elevators will cost $55000 and extend the life of the elevators another 20 years. salvage value at the end of 20 years will be $11000. Annual maintenance costs will be $1000 per year. The current salvage value of the elevators is $32000. if the interest rate is 4%, the annual equivalent cost for refurbishing the elevators is? The answer is $7030, but I am not sure how to get to this answer. Thank you for your help. :)
