It costs $30,000 to retrofit the gasoline pumps at a certain filling station so the pumps can dispense E85 fuel (85% ethanol and 15% gasoline). If the station makes a profit of $0.08 per gallon from selling E85 and sells an average of 20,000 gallons of E85 per month, how many months will it take for the owner to recoup her $30,000 investment in the retrofitted pumps?

The Sweetwater Candy Company would like to buy a new machine that would automatically “dip” chocolates. The dipping operation is currently done largely by hand. The machine the company is considering costs $200,000. The manufacturer estimates that the machine would be usable for five years but would require the replacement of several key parts at the end of the third year. These parts would cost $10,100, including installation. After five years, the machine could be sold for $9,000. The company estimates that the cost to operate the machine will be $8,100 per year. The present method of dipping chocolates costs $41,000 per year. In addition to reducing costs, the new machine will increase production by 8,000 boxes of chocolates per year. The company realizes a contribution margin of $1.40 per box. A 20% rate of return is required on all investments.
