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 b) Between $35,640 and $37,800 c) Between $32,640 and $34,800 d) Between $55,640 and $57,800 e) None of the answers are correct f) Between $45,640 and $47,800

A solar lighting system is to be purchased and installed for 310,000. This system will save approximately 300,000 kWh of electric power each year for a 6-year period with no additional O&M costs. Assume the cost of electricity is 10 per kWh, and company’s MARR is 15% per year, and the market value of the system will be 10,000 at EOY 7. Using the PW method, is this a good idea?
Barnes' Bagles is considering manufacturing and selling a new bagel-shaped pizza--thick with a hole in the middle. Development will cost $100,000 and will take one year. If the pizzas are popular (80% probability) the cash flows will be $40,000 per year for 5 years starting in Year 1. If the pizzas are not a hit (20% probability) the cash flows will be $5,000 per year for 5 years. Calculate the ENPV of the project. Barnes' cost of capital is 10%. $18,855 $20,740 $22,815 $25,096 correct answer $27,606 DO NOT USE EXCEL
You are evaluating a project for The Farstroke golf club, guaranteed to correct that nasty slice. You estimate the sales price of The Farstroke to be $400 per unit and sales volume to be 1,000 units in year 1; 1,500 units in year 2; and 1,325 units in year 3. The project has a 3-year life. Variable costs amount to $225 per unit and fixed costs are $100,000 per year. The project requires an initial investment of $165,000 in assets, which can be depreciated using bonus depreciation. The actual market value of these assets at the end of year 3 is expected to be $35,000. NWC requirements at the beginning of each year will be approximately 20 percent of the projected sales during the coming year. The tax rate is 21 percent and the required return on the project is 10 percent. What change in NWC occurs at the end of year 1?

A new furnace for your small factory is being installed right now, will cost $36,000, and will be completed in one year. At that point, it will require ongoing maintenance expenditures of $1,000 a year. But it is far more fuel-efficient than your old furnace and will reduce your consumption of heating oil by 3,300 gallons per year. Heating oil this year costs $2 a gallon; the price per gallon is expected to increase by $0.50 a year for the next 3 years and then to stabilize for the foreseeable future. The furnace will last for 20 years from initial use, at which point it will need to be replaced and will have no salvage value. (Specifically, the firm pays for the furnace at time 0, and then reaps higher net cash flows from that investment at the end of years 1 – 20.). The discount rate is 6%. Please show answers in Excel with the formulas. A. What is the net present value of the investment in the furnace? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest whole…

Suppose you have opened an MRI clinic and you are able to purchase a new MRI machine for $1 million. You plan to see 2000 patients per year, and you have determined that your MRI machine at that rate of use should last 10 years. Given a 5% rate of interest, use an annuity calculation to estimate the annual cost of an MRI per patient. Suppose that you could use the machine for 3 years and then sell it for $500,000. What would your annual cost per patient be in that case? Suppose you know that inflation is going to be 10% per year and that you will use the machine for 3 years and then be able to sell it for $800,000 (note that the $800,000 is measured in units of dollars 3 years from now). What then is your annual cost per patient and is your answer in dollars today or dollars three years from now?
You are working on a bid to build four small apartment buildings a year for the next three years for a local community. This project requires the purchase of $900,000 of equipment which will be depreciated at a CCA rate of 30% over the next three years. The equipment can be sold at the end of the project for $400,000 (ignore any gains or losses). You plan to borrow half of the equipment cost at a rate of 5.5%. You will also need $200,000 in net working capital maintained over the life of the project. The labour costs are expected to be $100,000 per year, fixed costs will be $175,000 a year and the materials will be $140,000 per building per year. Your required rate of return is 12% for this project. Ignoring taxes, what is the minimal amount, that you should bid per building?
The CFO of The Fun Factory is investigating the possibility of investing in a three-dimensional printer that would cost $16,500. The printer would eliminate the need to have prototypes of new toys be produced by a third party. The cost of having the prototypes manufactured by the third party is about $7,161 per year. The printer would have a useful life of five years with no salvage value with expected annual operating costs of $3,300 per year. Required: Compute the simple rate of return on the printer. (Round your answer to 1 decimal place.) Simple rate of return %
A machine costs $250,000 to purchase and will provide $60,000 a year in benefits. The company plans to use the machine for 12 years and then will sell the machine for scrap, receiving $15,000. The company interest rate is 10%. Should the machine be purchased? 5-4 A IBP Inc. is considering establishing a new machine to automate a meatpacking process. The machine will save $55,000 in labor annually. The machine can be purchased for $225,000 today and will be used for 10 years. It has a salvage value of $12,500 at the end of its useful life. The new machine will require an annual maintenance cost of $11,000. The corporation has a minimum rate of return of 9%. Do you recommend automating the process?
You are considering buying a 10-year-old machine for $280, or a new fuel-efficient machine for$600. The new machine will save you $5 per month on your fuel bill, and you will be able to sellit for $300 in 10 years. The used machine will have no resale value at that time. Assume theinterest rate is 3% per year. According to the information given, which machine will you buy?
