### Investment Analysis for Injection-Molding MachineLarson Manufacturing is considering purchasing a new injection-molding machine for $370,000 to expand its production capacity. The initial setup will also require an additional $15,000 for site preparation. The new injection-molding machine is projected to increase the company’s revenue by $83,000 per year. The machine has an expected lifespan of six years with a salvage value of $60,000. Given an interest rate of 12%, we need to determine if the purchase of this injection-molding machine is justified.#### Financial Factors and CalculationsTo evaluate this decision, we utilize various financial factors:1. **Compound Amount Factor $(F/P, i, N)$**2. **Present Worth Factor $(P/F, i, N)$**3. **Sinking Fund Factor $(A/F, i, N)$**4. **Present Worth Factor $(P/A, i, N)$**5. **Capital Recovery Factor $(A/P, i, N)$**These factors are tabulated below for an interest rate of 12%, up to 10 years.#### Financial Factor Table| N | Single Payment | Equal Payment Series ||:---:|--------------------------------------------|----------------------------------------------|| | Compound Amount Factor (F/P, i, N) | Present Worth Factor (P/F, i, N) | Compound Amount Factor (F/A, i, N) | Sinking Fund Factor (A/F, i, N) | Present Worth Factor (P/A, i, N) | Capital Recovery Factor (A/P, i, N) ||:--:|:------------------------------------------:|:--------------------------------------------:|:------------------------------------------:|:------------------------------------------:|:------------------------------------------:|:------------------------------------------:|| 1 | 1.1200 | 0.8929 | 1.0000 | 1.0000 | 0.8929 | 1.1200 || 2 | 1.2544 | 0.7972 | 2.1200 | 0.4717 | 1.6901 | 0.5917 ||

Situation5: A printing machine is bought at P1.5M and is estimated to have salvage value of P100,000 after 500,000 copies. The annual cost of renting the space for the business is P80,000, power cost per copy is P1.50, and maintenance and paper cost per copy is P4.00. The expected annual production of the machine is P100,000 copies. Annual interest is 15%. Determine the production cost per copy.
A machine tool company is considering a new investment in a punch pressmachine that will cost $100,000 and has an annual maintenance cost of $10,000. There is also an additional overhauling cost of $20,000 for the equipment once every four years. Assuming that this equipment will last 12 years under these conditions, what is the cost of owning and maintaining the punch press at an interest rate of 10%?
The city council of a fast growing city in the west of Canada is planning to construct a new tunnel to help improve the traffic flow in the city. Construction is to start in 2020 and is expected to last for four years at a cost of $16 million per year. After construction is completed, the regular cost of operation and maintenance is expected at $1 million for the first year, increasing by $80,000 per year thereafter. To help the city recover the construction cost, the tunnel will operate for the first 25 years as a toll way (till end of 2048). Expected return from toll fees is estimated at $8 million per year. Consider the present to be the end of 2018/beginning of 2019, the service life of the project to be till end of year 2058, and the interest rate to be 6%. a) Draw a cash flow diagram for this project. What is the Present Worth of the project? b) c) What is the Annual Worth of the project from 2018 till 2058? (Hint: make use of the PW calculated in part b)). d) Is it a good…
A paper manufacturing company has recently acquired a new machine with a useful life of six years. The operations team anticipates that maintenance costs for the machine during the first year will be $1,500. With the machine aging, maintenance costs are projected to increase by $300 each year for the rest of its life. Maintenance costs will be incurred at the end of every year. The company wants to establish a maintenance fund that will yield a 10% annual return. All future maintenance expenses will be sourced from this fund. What initial amount should the company deposit into the fund today?
You bought a new car which you intend to use as a public utility vehicle for P950,000. The expected life of the car is ten (10) years for its intended use. Your driver and you agreed that for the first five (5) years , your “boundary” is P1,500.00 per day and P1,000.00 per day for the rest of its economic life. You also expected a repair and maintenance costs of P30,000 every six (6) months from year one (1) to five (5) and P50,000 from year six (6) to ten (10). At the end of 10 years you can sell the car for P100,000. If your MARR on invested capital is 15% every (6) months, determine whether this is a good investment. Use the Future Worth method in your solution. Indicate all other assumptions you use in your analysis.Use manually solve and don't use excel.

Question 3 Consider a proposal to enhance production of tortillas en a taqueria. The new machine is estimated to cost $33 million and will incur an additional $1.5 million per year in maintenance costs. The machine will produce annual savings of $4.5 million each year. The Minimum acceptable rate of return (MARR) is 8.5% per year, and the study period is five years at which time the machine will be obsolete (worthless). What is the maximum (minimum) percentage of initial investmet change that reverse your decision?
Two machines are being considered to replace an old one. Machine 1 costs $80,000 and Machine 2 costs $120,000. Based on the capacity of these machines, it can be safely estimated that the revenue of Machine 1 will be $30,000 for year 1 and $41,500 for Machine 2. It is also assumed that the capacity could be increased and thereby the revenue by 20% every year for the next few years. The maintenance costs for both machines will be $2,000 and the amount will increase by $5,000 every year for the next few years. According to other companies that use similar machines, these machines are capable of producing products for 5 years before major breakdowns occur. Since this is a rough estimate, you can use straight-line depreciation over the next five years. The marginal tax rate for this company is 40%. a) Assuming an after-tax MARR of 15%, calculate the PW of the after-tax cash flow. b) Perform a sensitivity analysis by changing the after-tax MARR from 10% to 20%.

Covington Corporation purchased a vibratory finishing machine for $20,000 in year 0. The useful life of the machine is 10 years, at the end of which the machine is estimated to have a salvage value of zero. The machine generates net annual revenues of $6,000. The annual operating and maintenance expenses are estimated to be $800. If Covington's MARR is 16%, how many years will it take before this machine becomes profitable? Assume that the cash flows occur continuously throughout the year. It will take years before this machine becomes profitable. (Round to one decimal place.)
