An oil company is being offered a special coating for the gasoline underground tank installation in its service stations which will increase the life of the tank from the usual 10 years to 15 years. The cost of the special coating will increase the cost of the 40,000-tank to 58,000. Cost of installation for either of the tanks is P24,000. If the salvage value for both is zero, and interest rate is 26%, would you recommend the use of the special coating? -

One of two methods will produce solar panels for electric power generation. Method 1 will have an initial cost of $550,000, an annual operating cost of $160,000 per year, and a $125,000 salvage value after its three-year life. Method 2 will cost $830,000 with an annual operating cost of $120,000, and a $240,000 salvage value after its five-year life. The company has asked you to determine which method is economically better, but it wants the analysis done over a three-year planning period. The salvage value of Method 2 will be 35% higher after 3 years than it is after 5 years. If the company’s MARR is 10% per year, which method should the company select?
Tanaka Machine Shop is considering a four-year project to improve its production efficiency. Buying a new machine press for $397,000 is estimated to result in $145,000 in annual pretax cost savings. The press qualifies for 100 percent bonus depreciation and it will have a salvage value at the end of the project of $46,000. The press also requires an initial investment in spare parts inventory of $15,100, along with an additional $2,100 in inventory for each succeeding year of the project. The shop's tax rate is 21 percent and its discount rate is 8 percent. Calculate the project's NPV. Note: Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.
