AMT, Inc., is considering the purchase of a digital camera for maintenance of design specifications by feeding digital pictures directly into an engineering workstation where computer-aided design files can be superimposed over the digital pictures. Differences between the two images can be noted, and corrections, as appropriate, can then be made by design engineers. a. You have been asked by management to determine the PW of the EVA of this equipment, assuming the following estimates: capital investment = $336,000; market value at end of year six = $111,000; annual revenues = $114,000; annual expenses = $7,000; equipment life = 6 years; effective income tax rate = 25%; and after-tax MARR = 8% per year. MACRS depreciation will be used with a five-year recovery period. b. Compute the PW of the equipment's ATCFs. Click the icon to view the GDS Recovery Rates (*) for the 5-year property class. Click the icon to view the interest and annuity table for discrete compounding when a. Calculate the PW of the EVA of this equipment. PWEVA (8%) = $ (Round to the nearest hundreds.)

The Questor Corporation has experienced the following sales pattern over a 10-year period: Compute the equation of a trend line (similar to Equation 5.4) for these sales data to forecast sales for the next year. (Let 2004=0,2005=1, etc., for the time variable.) What does this equation forecast for sales in the year 2014? Use a first-order exponential smoothing model with a w of 0.9 to forecast sales for the year 2014.

Bell Greenhouses has estimated its monthly demand for potting soil to be the following: N=400+4X where N=monthlydemandforbagsofpottingsoil X=timeperiodsinmonths(March2006=0) Assume this trend factor is expected to remain stable in the foreseeable future. The following table contains the monthly seasonal adjustment factors, which have been estimated using actual sales data from the past five years: Forecast Bell Greenhouses demand for potting soil in March, June, August, and December 2007. If the following table shows the forecasted and actual potting soil sales by Bell Greenhouses for April in five different years, determine the seasonal adjustment factor to be used in making an April 2008 forecast.
The economic analysis division of Mapco Enterprises has estimated the demand function for its line of weed trimmers as QD=18,000+0.4N350PM+90Ps where N=numberofnewhomescompletedintheprimarymarketarea PM=priceoftheMapcotrimmerPS=priceofitscompetitorsSurefiretrimmer In 2010, 15,000 new homes are expected to be completed in the primary market area. Mapco plans to charge $50 for its trimmer. The Surefire trimmer is expected to sell for $55. What sales are forecasted for 2010 under these conditions? If its competitor cuts the price of the Surefire trimmer to $50, what effect will this have on Mapcos sales? What effect would a 30 percent reduction in the number of new homes completed have on Mapcos sales (ignore the impact of the price cut of the Surefire trimmer)?
A firm experienced the demand shown in the following table. *Unkown future value to be forecast Fill in the table by preparing forecasts based on a five-year moving average, a three-year moving average, and exponential smoothing (with a w=0.9 and a w=0.3). Note The exponential smoothing forecasts may be begun by assuming Y t+1=Yt. Using the forecasts from 2005 through 2009, compare the accuracy of each of the forecasting methods based on the RMSE criterion. Which forecast would you have used for 2010? Why?
