It is desired to determine the present economic value of an old machine by considering of how it compares with the best modern machine that could replace it. The old machine is expected to require out-of-pocket costs of P85,000 each year for 4 years and then be scrapped for P5,000 residual value. The new machine requires an investment of P40,000 and would have out-of-pocket costs of P79,000 a year for 8 years and then zero salvage value. Invested capital should earn a minimum return of 15% before taxes. Determine the present value of the old machine.

A machine was bought three years ago for $200,000 with the expected life of 8 years and a salvage value of $20,000. It now can be sold for $100,000. The annual operating cost for this machine over the next five years will be $30,000. A new machine can be purchased for $250,000, a salvage value of $20,000, expected life-of 10 years, and an annual operating cost of $20,000. Should we replace the old machine? MARR= 10%
Mr. Garcia sold his machine for P20,000 after using it for 6 years. He bought a new machine worth 75,000 with an expected life of 12 years and a salvage value of 2,000. The operating cost is P5,500 per year. The old machine which he bought for P50,000 when new will be useful for 10 years and a junk value of 1,000 but because of appropriate maintenance, it will be useful for another 5 years, no salvage value, with an annual operating cost of twice the new one. If money is worth 12%, was the engineer justified in selling the old machine? Use the ROR method. Show complete solution. Thank you
Machines that have the following costs are under consideration for a new manufacturing process. Compute the Equivalent Annual Worth with an interest rate of 8%, compounded semiannually. The machine last 4 years. First cost: $48,000 Semiannual Operating cost: $7.000 Semiannual incomes: $14,000 Salvage value : $10,000 a. EAW=$21.745 b. EAW=$2,957 C. EAW=$175 d. EAW=$1,958
A steam generation system at a biomass-fueled power plant uses an electrostaticprecipitator (ESP) to clean its gaseous effluents. The power plant has consistently made use ofthe same type of ESP over the past several years. The installed cost of a new ESP has beenrelatively constant at $100,000. Records of operation and maintenance expenses indicate thefollowing average expenses per year as a function of the age of the ESP. The MVs of the ESP arealso reasonably well known as a function of age. Data graph in image attached. Determine the best time to replace the ESP if the MARR is 15% per year.
