A new office building has been constructed at a cost of $3,000,000. It is estimated to have a life of 50 years with a value at that time of $200,000. It will have maintenance costs of $10,000 per year. It will also have major repairs costing $80,000 that occur at years 10, 20, 30 and 40. It will have additional repairs at the end of year 25 costing $250,000. Determine the equivalent uniform annual cost if the rate of interest of the firm is 7%.

Lang Industrial Systems Company (LISC) is trying to decide between two different conveyor belt systems. System A costs $252,000, has a four-year life, and requires $78,000 in pretax annual operating costs. System B costs $354,000, has a six-year life, and requires $72,000 in pretax annual operating costs. Suppose LISC always needs a conveyor belt system; when one wears out, it must be replaced. Assume the tax rate is 34 percent and the discount rate is 8 percent. Calculate the EAC for both conveyor belt systems. (Negative amounts should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) System A System B EAC 127564.C Which conveyor belt system should the firm choose? • System B ○ System A

ENGINEERING ECONOMY RATE WILL BE GIVEN. WRITE THE COMPLETE SOLUTIONS/EXPLANATION LEGIBLY OR TYPEWRITTEN. GIVE STRAIGHT TO THE POINT EXPLANATION. Your company presently uses a crew of its own employees for all major maintenance. On average, 44 major repairs are performed each year at 20 lost production hours per repair. Keeping the crew costs $1,300,000 per year plus any lost production cost. Lost production costs are estimated at $2,500 per hour. Your company is considering replacing its in-house maintenance work with an outside company (Ajax) working under an annual maintenance contract. This proposal will pay Ajax $2,180,000 per year but your company will still have to pay for all lost production time. Ajax claims that the time per repair will decrease because of the contractors’ substantial maintenance experience. Assuming the number of major repairs and the cost of lost production time remain the same, how much time per repair is the maximum allowable for Ajax to be the…
The General Mills Company (GMC) purchased a milling machine for $80,000, which it intends to use for the next five years. This machine is expected to save GMC $37,000 during the first operating year. Then the annual savings are expected to decrease by 4% each subsequent year over the previous year due to increased maintenance costs. Assuming that GMC would operate the machine for an average of 4,000 hours per year and that it would have no appreciable salvage value at the end of the five-year period, determine the equivalent dollar savings per operating hour at 8% interest compounded annually. Click the icon to view the interest factors for discrete compounding when i = 8% per year. The equivalent net savings are $ per operating hour. (Round to the nearest cent.)
What is the total lifetime cost of the system given the following information? The initial cost of the system is $4800. The system has annual maintenance costs of $175. On the fourth year, an overhaul cost of $350 is scheduled. The system is expected to last for 5 years. The discount rate is 8%. Answer to the nearest dollar $________.00.
