In a replacement analysis for a vacuum seal on a spacecraft, the following data are known about the challenger: the initial investment is $12,000, there is no annual maintenance cost for the first three years, however, it will be $2000 in each of years four and five, and then $4500 in the sixth year and increasing by $2500 each year thereafter. The salvage value is $0 at all times, and MARR is 12% per year. What is the economic life of this challenger? Present your solution in table form as follows: Show complete calculations for EUAC. EOY MVk loss in MV Cost of Annual Total Cost EUAC

The AW values for retaining a presently owned machine for additional years are shown in the table. Note that the values represent the AW amount for each of the n years that the asset is kept, that is, if it is kept 5 more years, the annual worth is $95,000 for each of the 5 years. Assume that future costs remain as estimated for the replacement study and that used machines like the one presently owned will always be available. (a) What is the ESL and associated AW of the defender at a MARR of 12% per year? (b) A challenger with an ESL of 7 years and an AWC = $ −89,500 per year has been identified. Which AW will be less for the respective ESL periods? Retention Period, Years AW Value, $ per Year 1 −92,000 2 −88,000 3 −85,000 4 −89,000 5 −95,000
An independent contractor for a transportation company needs to determine whether she should upgrade the vehicle she currently owns or trade her vehicle in to lease a new vehicle. If she keeps her vehicle, she will need to invest in immediate upgrades that cost $4,700 and it will cost $1,450 per year to operate at the end of year that follows. She will keep the vehicle for 6 years; at the end of thi period, the upgraded vehicle will have a salvage value of $4,300. Alternatively, she could trade in her vehicle to lease a new vehicle. Sh estimates that her current vehicle has a trade-in value of $9.300 and that there will be $4,500 due at lease signing. She further estimates that it will cost $3,300 per year to lease and operate the vehicle. The independent contractor's MARR is 12%.

A piece of equipment has a first cost of $160,000, a maximum useful life of 7 years, and a market (salvage) value described by the relation S 120,000 - 9,000k, where k is the number of years since it was purchased. The salvage value cannot go below zero. The AOC series is estimated using AOC = 60,000+ 6,000k. The interest rate is 9% per year. Determine the economic service life and the respective AW. The economic service life is year(s) and the AW value is $
An engineer calculated the AW values shown for retaining a presently owned machine additional years. A challenger has an ESL of 4 years with AW = $-60,000 per year. Assuming all future costs remain the same, when should the company replace the defender? The MARR is 12% per year. Assume used machines like the one presently owned will always be available. Years Retained 12345 a) at year 5 b) at year 4 c) at year 1 d) at year 3 AW of Defender, $ -77,000 -63,000 -58,000 -64,000 -70,000
QBS company wishes to replace its current equipment that was purchased 8years ago with the newer technology. System A will have a first cost of P1.6M, an operating cost of p70,000 per year, and a salvage value of P400,000 after its 4-year life. System B will have a first cost of P2.1M, an operating cost of P50,000 the first year with an expected increase of P3,000 per year thereafter, and no salvage value after its 8-year life. On the basis of a future worth analysis at an interest rate of 12% per year, write the: ANSWER for ALTERNATIVE A: ANSWER for alternative B:
To improve package tracking at a UPS transfer facility, conveyor equipment was upgraded with RFID sensors at a cost of $345,000. The operating cost is expected to be $148,000 per year for the first 3 years and $210,000 for the next 3 years. The salvage value of the equipment is expected to be $140,000 for the first 3 years, but due to obsolescence, it won’t have a significant value after that. The interest rate is 10% per year. Determine the ESL and equivalent AW using tabulated factors.

The plant manager at a company would like to perform an analysis for a new $250,000 machine. She estimates benefits of $20,000 in the first year, and benefits are increasing by 10% per year. 1) What is the payback period for the machine? 2)Suppose that the machine life is 15 years and machine has a salvage value of 20% of the initial cost at the end of its useful life. If the MARR of the company is 11 % per year, is this investment acceptable? Why?
An asset was purchased 5 years ago at a price of $52,000. It was expected to be in service for 8 years, at which time its salvage value would be $4000. If the function that the asset was serving is no longer, what price must it be sold to recover the invested capital when i = 12%
If the property will be immediately be replaced at a market value of 15,000, what will its sunk cost?
A theft-avoidance locking system has a first cost of $23,500, an AOC of $16,000, and no salvage value after its 3-year life. Assume that you were told the service provided by this asset would be needed for only 5 years. This means that the asset will have to be repurchased and kept for only 2 years. What would its market value, call it M, have to be after 2 years in order to make its annual worth the same as it is for its 3-year life cycle at an interest rate of 10% per year? Determine the market value M using factors. The market value M is $
