Hagar Industrial Systems Company (HISC) is trying to decide between twodifferent conveyor belt systems. System A costs $290,000; has a four-yearlife and requires $89,000 in pretax annual operating costs. System B costs $410,000; has a six-year life and required requires $79,00 in pretaxoperating costs. Both systems are to be depreciated straight-line to zeroover their lives and will have zero salvage value. Whichever system ischosen, it will not be replaced when it wears out.

Sheridan Roofing is faced with a decision. The company relies very heavily on the use of its 60-foot extension lift for work on large homes and commercial properties. Last year, Sheridan Roofing spent $63,500 refurbishing the lift. It has just determined that another $53,500 of repair work is required. Alternatively, it has found a newer used lift that is for sale for $180,500. The company estimates that both lifts would have useful lives of 6 years. The new lift is more efficient and thus would reduce operating expenses from $97,000 to $63,500 each year. Sheridan Roofing could also rent out the new lift for about $8,500 per year. The old lift is not suitable for rental. The old lift could currently be sold for $21,500 if the new lift is purchased. The new lift and old lift are estimated to have salvage values of zero if used for another 6 years. Prepare an incremental analysis showing whether the company should repair or replace the equipment.

Yoga Ltd is requesting a purchase of an upgraded class streaming system with an installed cost of $574,000. This cost will be depreciated straight-line to zero over the project's five-year life, at the end of which the system can be sold tor $20,000. The old system will be sold off for $10,000. The system will generate new tuition of $116,000 per year with negligible changes to operating costs. In year three the software license will need to be renewed at a cost of 15,000. The system requires an initial investment in net working capital of $15,000. If required rate of return is 10 percent, what is the present value of net cash flow for Year 3 (rounded to a whole number)?

Riverbed, a large manufacturing company, currently uses a large printing press in its operations and is considering two replacements: the PDX341 and PDW581. The PDX costs $493,000 and has annual maintenance costs of $9,300 for the first 5 years and $14,300 for the next 10 years. After 15 years, the PDX will be scrapped (salvage value is zero). In contrast, the PDW can be acquired for $123,250 and requires maintenance of $28,600 a year for its 10-year life. The salvage value of the PDW is expected to be zero in 10 years. Assuming that Riverbed must replace its current printing press (it has stopped functioning), has a(n) 10-percent cost of capital, and all cash flows are after tax, which replacement press is the most appropriate? (Round answers to 2 decimal places, e.g. 125.25.)

Freida Company is considering an asset replacement project ofreplacing a control device. This old control device has been fullydepreciated but can be sold for $5,000. The new control device, whichis more automated, will cost $42,000. The new device’s installation andshipping costs will total $16,000. The new device will be depreciatedon a straight-line basis over its 2-year economic life to an estimatedsalvage value of $0. The actual salvage value of this device at the endof 2-year period (That is, the market value of the device at the end of2-year period) is estimated to be $4,000. If the replacement project is accepted, Freida will require an initial working capital investment of$2,200 (that is, adding $2,200 initially to its net working capital).During the 1st year of operations, Freida expects its annual revenue toincrease from $72,800 to $90,000. After the 1st year, revenues fromthe replacement are expected to increase at a rate of $2,800 a year forthe remainder of the project…

Tanaka Industrial Systems Company is trying to decide between two different conveyor belt systems. System A costs $360,000, has a 4-year life, and requires $149,000 in pretax annual operating costs. System B costs $440,000, has a 6-year life, and requires $143,000 in pretax annual operating costs.

Calculate the EAC for both conveyor belt systems. (A negative answer should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) Answer is complete but not entirely correct. System A -650,486.43 X System B -836,677.14 X $ $
