A computer platform requires $270,000 initial investment and additional $60,000 after 10 years. The annual software maintenance costs are $3,000 for the first 4 years and $16,000 thereafter. In addition, there is expected to be a recurring major upgrade cost of 27,000 every 13 years. Assuming 5% interest rate, calculate the capitalized value of the project's costs

Question 1 A corporate jet costs $1,350,000 and will incur $200,000 per year in fixed costs (maintenance, licenses, insurance, and hangar rental) and $277 per hour in variable costs (fuel, pilot expense, etc.). The jet will be operated for 1,200 hours per year for five years and then sold for $650,000. The MARR is 15% per year. What is the EUAC of the jet? $838,710 $1000.45 $445.66 $1500

A firm urgently needs a large printer and will either lease a printer at an end-of-year cost of $ 5000 for a 6 year period, or they will purchase the printer at an initial cost of $60,000. If purchased, the printer will have a zero salvage value at the end of 6-years life. No other costs are to be considered. MARR is 5%. What is the best investment decision on the basis of the internal rate of return. a. IRR could not be calculated due to no change in cashflow sign b. Negative IRR is not justified and is not applied here to make a proper decision c. Lease d. Buy
Build modelA new engineer is evaluating whether to usea higher-voltage transmission line. It will cost $245,000 more initially, but it will reduce transmission losses. The optimistic, most likely, and pessimistic projections for annual savings are $21,000, $14,000, and $9,000 respectively. The interest rate is 7%, and the transmission line has a life of 30 years. (a) What is the present worth for estimated value of each scenario? (b ) What is the expected (mean) Present Worth?
