Packaging equipment for Xi Cling Wrap costs $60,000 and is expected to result in end-of-year net savings of $23,000 per year for 3 years. The equipment will have a market value of $10,000 after 3 years. The equipment can be leased for $21,000 per year, payable at the beginning of each year. Xi Cling’s MARR is 10%/yr. Based on an internal rate of return analysis, determine if the packaging equipment should be purchased or leased.
The investment of $500,000 in an SMP machine is expected to reduce manufacturing costs by $92,500 per year. At the end of the 10-year planning horizon, it is expected the SMP machine will be worth $50,000. Using a 10% MARR and an external rate of return analysis, should the investment be made?
Fabco, Inc., is considering purchasing flow valves that will reduce annual operating costs by $10,000 per year for the next 12 years. Fabco’s MARR is 7%/year. Using an internal rate of return approach, determine the maximum amount Fabco should be willing to pay for the valves. $
Your factory has been offered a contract to produce a part for a new printer. The contract would last for three years, and your cash flows from the contract would be $5.02 million per year. Your upfront setup costs to be ready to produce the part would be $7.99 million. Your discount rate for this contract is 7.6%. a. What is the IRR? b. The NPV is $5.04 million, which is positive so the NPV rule says to accept the project. Does the IRR rule agree with the NPV rule? a. What is the IRR? The IRR is %. (Round to two decimal places.)
a. What is the net present value (at the discount rate of 10%) of this project?b. Perot’s engineers have determined that spending $10 million more on development will allow them to add even more advanced features. Having a more advanced chip will allow them to price the chip $50 higher in both years ($870 for year 1 and $700 for year 2). What is the NPV of the project if this option is implemented?c. If sales are only 200,000 the first year and 100,000 the second year, what would the NPV of the project be? Assume the development costs and sales price are as originally estimated. Development cost - $1,250,000Estimated development time - 9 monthsPilot testing - $200,000Ramp-up cost - $400,000Marketing and support cost - $150,000/yrSales & Production volume - $60,000/yrUnit production cost - $100Unit price - $205Interest rate - 8%

Your factory has been offered a contract to produce a part for a new printer. The contract would last for three years, and your cash flows from the contract would be $5.05 million per year. Your upfront setup costs to be ready to produce the part would be $7.92 million. Your discount rate for this contract is 7.5%. a. What is the IRR? b. The NPV is $5.21 million, which is positive so the NPV rule says to accept the project. Does the IRR rule agree with the NPV rule? a. What is the IRR? The IRR is %. (Round to two decimal places.)
Andes, Inc. is considering the replacement of its manual material handling equipment with autonomous vehicles at a net initial cost of $12 million. The expected annual savings in operating costs are as shown below. MARR is 10% per year compounded annually. End of Year 1 2 3 4 5 6 3 4.5 4.5 Annual savings (millions) | 2.25 | 2.25 | 3 Compute the simple payback period for this replacement option. Determine the discounted payback period (DPBP). It is enough if you determine in which year the DPBP falls.
Your factory has been offered a contract to produce a part for a new printer. The contract would last for three years, and your cash flows from the contract would be $4.97 million per year. Your upfront setup costs to be ready to produce the part would be $8.02 million. Your discount rate for this contract is 7.8% a. What is the IRR? b. The NPV is $4.83 million, which is positive so the NPV rule says to accept the project. Does the IRR rule agree with the NPV rule?
