A hydraulic machine costs P180,000 and has a salvage value of P15000 at the end of its useful life of 12 years. If it is to be traded for a new one on the 7th year for P53,272, determine its sunk cost if money is worth 6%. Also, compute for the tax shield if the company is at a 25% tax bracket.

A company is evaluating the addition of equipment to its present operations. They need to purchase equipment for $160,000. The five year MACRS GDS Recovery Method is appropriate for the investment and the total tax rate (federal plus state) is 40%. Gross revenue is expected to be $30,000/year while maintenance costs are expected to be $5,000/year. It is expected that the operation will be shut down at the end of the fourth year with a salvage value of $20,000. a- Draw a BTCFD b- Prepare a table showing your development of the ATCF's. c- If the company's aftertax MARRis 12%/year, is this a profitable investment?
PROBLEM NO. 2: A certain equipment costs P7,000 has an economic life "n" years and a salvage value of P350 at the end of "n" years. If the book value at the end of 4 years is equal to P2197.22, compute the economic life of the equipment using the Sum of the Years digit method. PROBLEM NO. 3:
An asset for drilling was purchased and placed in service by a petroleum production company. Its cost basis is $60,000, and it has an estimated MV of $12,000 at the end of an estimated useful life of 14 years. Compute the depreciation amount in the third year and the BV at the end of the sixth year of life by each of these methods: a. The SL method. b. The 200% DB method with switchover to SL. c. The GDS. d. The ADS.
A company is going to buy a new machine for manufacturing its products. Three machines are available. Data is as follows: Money is worth 17% before taxes to the company. Which machine should be chosen? Use ROR
XYZ Products Company is considering a new product that will sell for P100 and has a variable cost of P60. Expected volume is 20,000 units. New equipment costing P1,500,000 and having a five-year useful life and no salvage value is needed, and will be depreciated using the straight-line method. The machine has fixed cash operating costs of P200,000 per year. The firm is in the 40 percent tax bracket and has cost of capital of 12 percent. The present value of 1, end of five periods is 0.56743; present value of annuity of 1 for 5 periods is 3.60478. How many units per year the firm must sell for the investment to earn 12 percent internal rate of return?
You are evaluating two different silicon wafer milling machines. The Techron I costs $270,000, has a 3-year life, and has pretax operating costs of $73,000 per year. The Techron II costs $470,000, has a 5-year life, and has pretax operating costs of $46,000 per year. For both milling machines, use straight-line depreciation to zero over the project's life and assume a salvage value of $50,000. If your tax rate is 24 percent and your discount rate is 10 percent, compute the EAC for both machines. (A negative answer should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) Techron I Techron II
The Smith and Jones Research and Development firm has bought a new laboratory equipment (MACRS-GDS 3-year property class) to be used in a research project that will last 3 years. The cost of equipment is $750,000 but require bringing a technician to install the equipment and train the personal with an additional cost of $75,000. The equipment’s supplier will buy back the equipment at the end of the project for $50,000. The O&M costs per year incurred by the equipment are $70,000. The firm signed a contract with the DOD that states that they will receive a one lump-sum of $Y at the end of the life of the research project that will generate a rate of return of 8%. The firm will finance the equipment with a loan at 6% interest rate per year, and considering that the firm will not generate any revenue until the end of year 3, the bank has agreed that principal and accrued interests will be paid at the end of year three. Perform an ATCF analysis to determine the value of Y$ that will…
SGS Golf Academy is evaluating different golf practice equipment. The "Dimple-Max" equipment costs $149,000, has a 4-year life, and costs $9,300 per year to operate. The relevant discount rate is 14 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 $21,500 at the end of the project’s life. The relevant tax rate is 22 percent. All cash flows occur at the end of the year. What is the EAC of this equipment? Note: Your answer should be a negative value and indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.
10.7 Determine the economic life of an $800 laptop computer. Your personal interest rate is 10% per year. Annual expenses and year-end resale values are expected to be the following: Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Software upgrades and maintenance $150 $200 $300 Resale value at end of year $600 $450 $200
A corporate expects to receive $36,144 each year for 15 years if a particular project is undertaken. There will be an initial investment of $100,705. The expenses associated with the project are expected to be $7,740 per year. Assume straight-line depreciation, a 15-year useful life, and no salvage value. Use a combined state and federal 48% marginal tax rate, MARR of 8%, determine the project's after-tax net present worth.

You are considering the purchase of a new high-efficiency machine to replace older machines now. The new machine can replace four of the older machines, each with a current market value of $600. The new machine will cost $5000 and will save the equivalent of 10,000 kWh of electricity per year. After a period of 10 years, neither option (new or old) will have any market value. If you use a before-tax MARR of 25% and pay $0.075 per kilowatt-hour, would you replace the old machines today with the new one?A professor of engineering economics owns an older car. In the past 12 months, he has paid $2000 to replace the transmission, bought two new tires for $160, and installed a music system for $110. He wants to keep the car for 2 more years because he invested money 3 years ago in a 5-year certificate of deposit, which is earmarked to pay for his dream machine, a red European sports car.
