Doctor E. is considering purchasing a new blood analysis machine to test for leukemia; it will cost $78,000. He estimates that he could charge $32.00 for an office visit to have a patient's blood analyzed, while the actual cost of a blood analysis would be $8.00. What would the profit be for a quantity of 11,900 leukemia blood analyses?

Jose is thinking about purchasing a soft drink machine and placing it in a business office. He knows that there is a 5% probability that someone who walks by the machine will make a purchase from the machine, and he knows that the profit on each soft drink sold is $0.10. If Jose expeccts a thousand people per day to pass by the machine and requires a complete return of his investment in one year, then what is the maximum price that he should be willing to pay for the soft drink machine? Assume 250 working daysin a year, and ignore taxes and the time value of money.
Dr. Magneto is evaluating whether to open a private MRI clinic in leased office space in a local strip mall. The clinic will run for two years and then close. Before the clinic opens, the offices require $200,000 of renovations. Dr. Magneto will buy $20,000 of computer equipment and one MRI machine. The MRI machine (GE 3.0T Signa Excite HD) costs $2.4M. Assume that the renovations, computer equipment, and MRI are paid for at the beginning of the first year (t=0) and that all three are classified as 15-year property (with depreciation rates of 5% and 9.5% in the first two years). Assume that the MRI machine will be sold for $500,000 at the end of the second year of business at which time the computer equipment will be worthless. The clinic can perform 72 scans per week for 49 operational weeks per year and will charge $600 per scan. The clinic will need two technicians, two receptionists, and one office manager. Wages, salaries, and other payroll costs (i.e., health insurance premiums)…

A hospital wants to buy a new MRI machine for $45,000. The annual revenue from the machine is estimated at $18,000 per year while maintenance costs per year are calculated to be $ 6,000. The salvage value at the end of the machine’s six-year operational life is $12,000. If the hospital’s MARR is 10% per year, should this investment be undertaken? (Use PW-Method).
For your new laboratory, you plan to purchase energy efficient freezers. There are two models in the market: Model X costs $100,000, and you need two units of model X for your project. Maintaining costs would be $50,000 and decreasing by $10,000 for each unit per year. Each freezer can be used for four years. At the end of which time, you estimate that the salvage value will be $70,000 for both freezers. Model Y costs $250,000 each. The maintaining cost of this model would be $10,000 per year and it would be decreasing by $5,000 starting in year 4. The salvage value of both model Y at the end of seven years is $60,000. Once again, two units of model Y is required for your project. Since you must complete your project in two years, you estimated that, the model X could be sold for $50,000 each and the model Y for $125,000 each after two years. Find the present worth difference between two models using MARR=10%. a) Between $52,640 and $54,800 O b) Between $35,640 and $37,800 c) Between…
Fantastic Footwear can invest in one of two different automated clicker cutters. The first, A, has a $150,000 first cost. A similar one with many extra features, B has a $579,000 first cost. A will save $50,000 per year over the cutter currently in use. B will save $160,000 per year. Each clicker cutter will last five years. If the MARR is 8 percent, which alternative is better? Use an IBB comparison should be chosen percent. For the increment from cutter A to cutter B, the IRR is percent. Therefore, For the increment from the do-nothing alternative to cutter A. the IRR is (Type integers or decimals rounded to one decimal place as needed.)
