- DRAW CASH FLOW DIAGRAM Calculate the capitalized cost of a project that has an initial cost of P8,000,000 and an additional cost of P250,000 at the end of every 8 years. The annual operating costs will be P150,000 at the end of every year for the first 5 years and P200,000 thereafter. In addition there is expected to be recurring major rework cost of P500,000 every 13 years. Assume i=12%Techniques of Capital Budgeting refer to the criteria used to evaluate the project. These techniques can be broadly classified into two categories, one which is non-time adjusted and the other which is suitably adjusted for time. Do a comparative analysis of these two categories giving suitable examples to corroborate your claims.The consultancy Imagination Inc. is working with its manufacturing client Parts-R-Us to improve their on-time performance. The firm can earn a bonus of up to $1,000,000 based on how much the on-time performance actually improves. It's current (baseline) on-time performance is 90%. The company typically completes approximately 1,000 orders per month, with approximately 100 orders delayed. The bonus payment is prorated according to the following criteria: · The on-time performance improvement is calculated based on a reduction in late events or an improvement in on-time performance. · No bonus is earned for the first 25% reduction in late events, say from 100 to 75. Maximum bonus is earned once Parts-R-Us achieves 95% on-time performance. Please answer the following: Write down a formula to determine the total bonus amount to be received Using your formula, show how much bonus would be paid if Parts-R-Us achieves 94% on-time performance.
- Three investments are being studied by Bright Star Construction Limited. The table below provides the estimated cash flow for each of the three investments over the next five years. Due to budget constraints, Bright Star can only select one investment out of the three investments. At a MARR (Minimum Acceptable Rate of Return) of 12%, answer the following. Investment 1 2 3 a) b) Initial Cost $9,000,000 $5,000,000 $7,000,000 Expenses per Year $3,000,000 $1,500,000 $2,000,000 Return at end of year 5 $38,000,000 $20,000,000 $29,000,000 Use a rate of return method to determine the economically best investment for Bright Star. Are you expecting different results if the comparison is based on Annual Worth? (Hint: no calculations are needed). c) What are the case(s) in which a rate of return method is recommended? d) Is it always necessary for the alternative with the highest rate of return to be the best alternative?You purchase equipment for $13,000,000 To operate the equipment, you incur expenses of $3,900,000 per year The equipment generates revenue of $8,400,000 per year 5. a) What is the non-discounted (i 0% ) payback period? b) What is the payback period at MARR = 15%? %3D %3DSolve and show solutions completely. Draw the cash flow diagrams. The engineer of a medium scale industry was instructed to prepare two plans to be considered by management to improve their operations. Plan A calls for an initial investment of P200,000 now with an expected salvage of 20% of the first cost 20 years hence. The operation and maintenance disbursements are estimated to be P15,000 each year and taxes will be 2% of the first cost. Plan B calls for an immediate investment of P140,000 and a second investment of P160,000 eight years later. The operation maintenance disbursements will be P9,000 a year for the initial installation and P8,000 a year for the second installation. At the end of 20 years, the salvage value will be 20% of the investments. Taxes will be 2% of first cost. If money is worth12%, which plan will you recommend using present worth cost method.

What is the relevant cost for material X for the purpose of pricing the contract?There are four steps for the selection of capital investment projects 1) Generate alternative capital investment project proposals. 2) Estimate cash flows for each project proposal. 3) Evaluate and choose which investment project to undertake 4) When completed review the investment project to see which assumptions about the project were correct What is the point of looking at the assumptions made after the investment was completed? Would it be better if the review was undertaken at earlier intervals, such as the mid-way point or sooner?
- A relocation of a short stretch of rural highway feeding into Route 390 northwest of Dallas is to be made to accommodate new growth. The existing road is now unsafe, and improving it is not an alternative. Alternate new route locations are designated as East and West. The initial investment by government highway agencies will be $4,000,000 for East and $5,125,000 for West. Annual highway maintenance costs will be $120,000 for East and $90,000 for the shorter location West. Relevant annual road user costs, considering vehicle operation, time en route, fuel, safety, mileage, and so on, are estimated as $880,000 for East and only $730,000 for West. Assume a 20-year service life and i-7% Part a What is the present worth of the benefits and costs of route West over route East?
