Aerotron Electronics is considering purchasing a water filtration system to assist in circuit board manufacturing. The system costs $37,000. It has an expected life of 7 years at which time its salvage value will be $5,000. Operating and maintenance expenses are estimated to be $2,000 per year. If the filtration system is not purchased, Aerotron Electronics will have to pay Bay City $12,000 per year for water purification. If the system is purchased, no water purification from Bay City will be needed. Aerotron Electronics must borrow 1/2 of the purchase price, but they cannot start repaying the loan for 2 years. The bank has agreed to 3 equal annual payments, with the 1st payment due at the end of year 2. The loan interest rate is 9.5% compounded annually. Aerotron Electronics' MARR is 10.0 % compounded annually.

Engineering Economics You bought a new car which you intend to use as a public utility vehicle for P950,000. The expected life of the car is ten (10) years for its intended use. Your driver and you agreed that for the first five (5) years , your “boundary” is P1,500.00 per day and P1,000.00 per day for the rest of its economic life. You also expected a repair and maintenance costs of P30,000 every six (6) months from year one (1) to five (5) and P50,000 from year six (6) to ten (10). At the end of 10 years you can sell the car for P100,000. If your MARR on invested capital is 15% every (6) months, determine whether this is a good investment. Use the present Worth method in your solution. Indicate all other assumptions you use in your analysis.Use manually solve and don't use excel.
What would be the annual worth on this investment?
An equipment costing $57,500 is being considered for a production process at Dewey Chemicals. The expected benefits per year is $4,500 and estimated salvage value is $10,000. Determine the rate of return the company can get in this equipment proposal. Equipment life = 15 years.
Planning to open a branch of a business requires an initial capital of 1000 to rent a place, purchase equipment, etc. After the end of the 10 year evaluation period, all used equipment can be resold for 300. The estimated amount of income and expenditure each year is shown in the following cash flow diagram using Future Worth (FW):
An in place machine has an equivalent annual worth of $-100000 for each year of its maximum remaining useful life of two years. A suitable replacement is determined to have equivalent annual worth values of $-175000, $-125000, and $-150000 per year if kept for 1,2, or 3 years, respectively. When should the company replace the machine, if it uses a fixed 3-year planning horizon? Use an interest rate of 17.255609824% per year compounded semiannualy.

Apricot Computers is considering replacing its material handling system and either purchasing or leasing a new system. The old system has an annual operating and maintenance cost of $31,000, a remaining life of 8 years, and an estimated salvage value of $5,300 at that time. A new system can be purchased for $259,000; it will be worth $24,000 in 8 years; and it will have annual operating and maintenance costs of $16,000/year. If the new system is purchased, the old system can be traded in for $19,000. Leasing a new system will cost $25,000/year, payable at the beginning of the year, plus operating costs of $7,100/year, payable at the end of the year. If the new system is leased, the old system will be sold for $9,000. MARR is 15%. Compare the annual worths of keeping the old system, buying a new system, and leasing a new system based upon a planning horizon of 8 years.
