Computer-Aided Machining Company plans to invest in a state- of-the-art 5-axis machining center with invoice price of $450,000, freight of $25,000, site preparation $40,000, and installation costs of $35,000. The project also requires special tooling costing $50,000. The machining center has an expected life of ten years and the tooling only 5 years so tooling replacement is needed after the fifth year. The machining center is a 7-year depreciable asset and the tooling is a 3-year class. After it's useful life, the machining center is salvaged for $50,000 and the tooling is scrapped for $1500. The company expects to increase its annual production revenues by $400,000 with associated annual production costs of $45,000 direct materials, $75,000 direct labor, and $37,500 manufacturing overhead. Taxes are assessed at a 35% rate on taxable income. The company has decided to take an eight-year loan of $300,000 at 6% to help defray cash outlay and to establish working capital of $70,000. a)…

Equipment needed at a Valero Corporation refinery for the conversion of corn stock to ethanol, a cleaner burning gasoline additive, will cost $50,00 to be used for 4 years, with an annual operating cost (AOC) of $10,000, and a salvage value of $35,000 after 4 years. Determine the AW values for one and two life cycles at 15 % per year.
An automobile spare part manufacturer has set up a project for developing a new machine for one of its production lines. The engineering department has provided a project proposal that estimates the following investment requirements: ) An initial investment of RM 300,000 to be paid for purchasing the new machine. i) An additional cost is needed to install the machines and integrate it into the overall production system and it is estimated to take one (1) year for completion. There are three cost categories involved: • Engineering labor cost, estimated to be 1200 hours at a cost of RM 100/hour. • None-engineering labor cost, estimated to be 3000 hours at a cost of RM 50/hour. Assorted material cost, estimated to be RM 100,000. iv) The machine has to be overhauled every 2 year, and it costs RM 20.000 beginning the third year of the project. They will not overhaul the machine in the last year of its life. v) The production will be started in the second year, and it will be up-to-speed by…

An injection molding system has a first cost of $200,000 and an annual operating cost of $69,000 in years 1 and 2, increasing by $5,500 per year thereafter. The salvage value of the system is 25% of the first cost regardless of when the system is retired within its maximum useful life of 5 years. Using a MARR of 11% per year, determine the ESL and the respective AW value of the system. The ESL is ]year(s) and AW value of the system is $|
Aria Acoustics, Incorporated (AAI), projects unit sales for a new seven-octave voice emulation implant as follows: Year 1 2 3 4 5 Unit Sales 74, 000 87, 000 106, 250 98, 500 67, 800 Production of the implants will require $1,750,000 in net working capital to start and additional net working capital investments each year equal to 15 percent of the projected sales increase for the following year. Total fixed costs are $3,700,000 per year, variable production costs are $260 per unit, and the units are priced at $390 each. The equipment needed to begin production has an installed cost of $17,500,000. Because the implants are intended for professional singers, this equipment is considered industrial machinery and thus qualifies as seven-year MACRS property. In five years, this equipment can be sold for about 20 percent of its acquisition cost. The tax rate is 25 percent and the required return is 17 percent. MACRS schedule a. What is the NPV of the project? Note: Do not round intermediate…

Two techniques can be used to produce expansion anchors. Technique A costs $90,000 initially and will have a $12,000 salvage value after 3 years. The operating cost with this method will be $33,000 in year 1, increasing by $2600 each year. Technique B will have a first cost of $113,000, an operating cost of $7000 in year 1, increasing by $7000 each year,and a $43,000 salvage value after its 3-year life. At an interest rate of 13% per year, which technique should be used on the basis of a present worth analysis? Notice that there are no revenues. Please work out and do not use excel, however if you use excel please show how to input everything needed down to the formula, thank you!
Rework the given problem, assuming the following additional information:• The machine is classified as a seven-year MACRS recovery period. Thetax rate is 40%. and the after-tax MARR is 10%.
