The management of Arnold Corporation is considering the purchase of a new machine costing $430,000. The company's desired rate of return is 10%. The present value factors for $1 at compound interest of 10% for one through five years are 0.909, 0.826, 0.751, 0.683, and 0.621, respectively. In addition to this information, use the following data in determining the acceptability in this situation: Year Income from Operations Net Cash Flow 1 $100,000 $180,000 2 40,000 120,000 3 20,000 100,000 4 10,000 90,000 5 10,000 90,000 The net present value for this investment is a.negative $25,200. b.positive $25,200. c.negative $124,800. d.positive $152,000.
Consider a machine purchased one year ago for $18,000. The machine is being depreciated $3,000 per year throughout a six-year period. Its current market value is $6,000, and the expected market value of the machine one year from now is $4,000. If the interest rate is 10%, the expected cost of holding the machine during the next year is $___.
An asset purchased 5 years ago for $75,000 can be sold today for $15,000. Operating expenses will be $10,000 this year, but these will increase by $1500 per year. It is estimated that the asset’s salvage value will decrease by $1000 per year over the next 5 years. If the MARR used by the company is 15%, calculate the total marginal cost of ownership of this old asset (that is, the currently implemented asset) for each of the next 5 years.
A large standby electricity generator in a hospital operating room has a first cost of $67,250 and may be used for a maximum of 6 years. Its salvage value, which decreases by 15% per year, is described by the equation S = 67,250(1 − 0.15)n, where n is the number of years after purchase. The operating cost of the generator will be constant at $9,000 per year, and the interest rate is 12% per year. Determine the economic service life and associated AW values. The economic service life is 6 years and the AW value is $−__.
