A piece of equipment now is use at a plant has a market value of 12,000. This market value is expected to decline by 40% per period (from the previous period) until it reaches zero at the end of period 4. The forecasted operating and repair cost of the equipment for the next period is 35,000 and this is expected to grow at a rate of 20 percent per period. Applying an interest rate of 12%, answer the questions below. a. What is the lowest period equivalent cost for keeping the equipment in operation for the economic service life? b. What is the economic service life

1. You purchased a building five years ago for $100,000. Its annual maintenance expense has been $5,000 per year. At the end of three years, you spent $9,000 on roof repairs. At the end of five years (now), you sell the building for $120,000. During the period of ownership, you rented the building for $10,000 per year paid at the beginning of each year. Use the AW method to evaluate this investment when your MARR is 12% per year.

You inherit $10K when you are 20. What is this worth when you are ready to retire at 65? Assume that the money can be invested at 7%, which is your interest rate for the time value of money. Compare this with an insurance policy that could be purchased with a lump-sum payment of $10K. That policy would pay you $100K at age 65 and your survivors $100K if you die sooner. How much value per year must you put on protecting your survivors for these to be equivalent?

True Car of Columbia, SC advertised a Ford EcoSport (2019) at $23,178. The EcoSport is a sporty smaller SUV that is perfect for the recent college graduate/young professional. Given that the repayment period is 5 years and the interest on the loan is 3.99%, what are the likely monthly car payments on this loan? The average median 2019 price of a home here in Columbia, SC was around $145,000. That price is not bad at all (surprisingly good!!).

6-53. A set of four "100-year," sixty (60) watt light bulbs costs $24.95. If H equals the annual number of hours the bulb is used, each bulb provides 100H hours of light, and the efficiency of each bulb is 80%. A set of four, sixty (60) watt standard bulbs costs $2.60. Each standard bulb provides H hours of light and the efficiency of each bulb is 95%. If the cost of electricity is $0.0574/kWh, how many hours of operation each year will make the costs of the two types of bulb breakeven? Your personal MARR is 5% per year. Assume repeatability. State other realistic assumptions you must make.
