Legend estimates that the new hoist will enable his mechanics to replace 5 extra mufflers per week. Each muffler sells for $74 installed. The cost of a muffler is $35, and the labor cost to install a muffler is $14. (a) Compute the cash payback period for the new hoist. Cash payback period years (b) Compute the annual rate of return for the new hoist. (Round answer to 2 decimal places, e.g. 10.52%.)

The Everly Equipment Company's flange-lipping machine was purchased 5 years ago for $65,000. It had an expected life of 10 years when it was bought and its remaining depreciation is $6,500 per year for each year of its remaining life. As older flange-lippers are robust and useful machines, this one can be sold for $20,000 at the end of its useful life. A new high-efficiency digital-controlled flange-lipper can be purchased for $110,000, including installation costs. During its 5-year life, it will reduce cash operating expenses by $35,000 per year, although it will not affect sales. At the end of its useful life, the high-efficiency machine is estimated to be worthless. MACRS depreciation will be used, and the machine will be depreciated over its 3-year class life rather than its 5-year economic life, so the applicable depreciation rates are 33.33%, 44.45%, 14.81%, and 7.41%. The old machine can be sold today for $45,000. The firm's tax rate is 25%, and the appropriate cost of capital…
National Chemicals has an automatic chemical mixer that it has been using for the past 4 years. The mixer originally cost $18,000. Today the mixer can be sold for $10,000. The mixer can be used for 10 years more and will have a $2,500 salvage value at that time. The annual operating and maintenance costs for the mixer equal $6,000/year. Because of an increase in business, a new mixer must be purchased. If the old mixer is retained, a new mixer will be purchased at a cost of $25,000 and have a $4,000 salvage value in 10 years. This new mixer will have annual operating and maintenance costs equal to $5,000/year. The old mixer can be sold and a new mixer of larger capacity purchased for $32,000. This mixer will have a $6,000 salvage value in 10 years and will have annual operating and maintenance costs equal to $8,000/year. Based on a MARR of 15% and using an EUAC cash flow approach, what do you recommend?

A heavy equipment rental company intends to replace a grader. It was purchased 5 years ago at a cost of $120,000. It was estimated to have a useful life of 10 years. It could be traded in now for $20,000. Due to frequent breakdown and repairs it was rented out for only 1,400 hours during the past year and the total repair cost was $6,000. A new grader is now available costing $200,000 and it is predicted to have an economic life of 10 years. It is expected to be rented at least 2,100 hours a year and maintenance cost will not exceed $3,500. All other out-of-pocket costs for the two machines would equal. If money is worth 15%, what must be the hourly rental rate for the new grader so that it could replace the old one?
