A wastewater treatment facility is planning to purchase a new sludge dryer equipment to replace its present unit. The new sludge dryer would cost P135,402 with a five (5) year-life, and no estimated salvage value. Its operating cost would be P150.064 a year. The sludge dryer that they are currently using at present has a book value of P75,260 and a remaining life of 5 years. It has also no estimated salvage value. And its variable operating cost would be cost P187.568 a year. Money is worth 10%. Using ROR method, which is profitable, to buy the new sludge dryer or retain the old equipment?

Consider palletizer at a bottling plant that has a first cost of $171,328, has operating and maintenance costs of $13,817 per year, and an estimated net salvage value of $27,325 at the end of 30 years. Assume an interest rate of 8%. What is the future worth of this project?
A manufacturing company is considering a capacity expansion investment at the cost of $32,850 with no salvage value. The expansion would enable the company to produce up to 30,000 parts per year and the useful life of the additional capacity is seven years. Each part would generate $2.54 net profit and annual operating and maintenance costs are estimated at $8,989 per year. The market demand for the parts is unlimited. All parts produced will be sold. The MARR of the firm is 10%. What is the minimum annual production rate to make this investment justified? Enter your answer as follows: 12345 Round your answer. Do not use a decimal point ("."), or a comma (",").
Your company is considering purchasing a new CNC machining center. The net benefits in the first year will be $50,000, increasing at a rate of $4,000 per year for the subsequent nine years (so the benefits are $50,000, $54,000, $58,000, etc.). You think the company can get a salvage value of $18,000 at the end of its 10-year useful life. If the MARR is 8%, how much can the company justify spending on the CNC machining center? Solve by present worth analysis.
DBS Builders Pte Ltd purchased an asphalt paver eight years ago for $280,000. The estimated operation and maintenance (O&M) costs for the next three years are $56,000, $68,000, and $82,000, respectively. The asphalt paver can be sold for $65,000 now, for $57,000 next year, for $45,000 two years from now, and for $28,000 three years from now. 4. The latest asphalt paver in the market costs $290,000 and has an estimated service life of five years. The salvage value is estimated to be $50,000 after five years. The expected annual O&M costs will be $6,000 for the first year and increase by $3,800 per year thereafter. If a before-tax minimum attractive rate of return (MARR) of 12% is estimated, what replacement decision should DBS Builders make?

Compute the capitalized cost of a new car worth P800,000.00 if it is estimated that it requires P20,000.00 per year to maintain and must be replaced at the same amount with a salvage value of P300,000.00 after 5 years if the interest rate is 12% per annum.

The capitalized cost of a new printing equipment was found to be P426,000.00.The rate of interest was 12%, with a salvage value of P30,000.00 t the end of a service life of 8 years. Assuming that the cost of perpetual replacement remains constant, determine the original cost of the equipment.
Your company is planning to expand by taking over the next-door manufacturing facility. You are faced with a buy-versus-lease option. The purchase price is $1.5 million, while you can lease it for $270,000 per year for 10 years. If purchased, it can be sold for 40% of its original price at the end of its 10 years life. In either case the annual income is estimated to be $1.2 million and the annual operating cost would be $300,000. Your company pays 38% combined income tax and the after-tax minimum attractive rate of return (MARR) is 10%. Assuming lease payments are due at the end of the year and using a straight-line depreciation over the 10 years life with full first year depreciation, determine: a. The EUAW = EUAB-EUAC for each option with MARR = 10%. Should the facility be purchased or leased? b. The break-even rate of return of purchase versus lease, i.e. ROR at which (EUAB – EUAC) purchase = (EUAB - EUAC) lease
ABC Electronics must buy a piece of equipment to place electronic components on the printed circuit boards it assembles. The proposed equipment has a 10-year leife with no scrap value. The supplier has given JT several purchase alternatives. The first is to purchase the equipment for $850,000 (Option A). The second is to pay for the equipment in 10 equal installments of $135,000 each, starting one year from now (Option B). The third is to pay $215,000 now and $95,000 at the end of each year for the next 10 years (Option C). Which alternative should JT choose if their MARR is 11% per year? Use an IRR comparison approach. Where JT Electronics must purchase one of the pieces of equipment, do not consider the do nothing option (Perform all calculations using 5 significant figures and round your answer to one decimal place.
