Light emitting diode (LEDs) light bulbs have become required in recent years, but do they make financial sense? Suppose a typical 60-watt incandescent light bulb costs $.38 and lasts for 1,000 hours. A 15-watt LED, which provides the same light, costs $3.05 and lasts for 12,000 hours. A kilowatt hour of electricity costs $.114. A kilowatt-hour is 1,000 watts for 1 hour. However, electricity costs actually vary quite a bit depending on location and user type. An industrial user in West Virginia might pay $.04 per kilowatt-hour whereas a residential user in Hawaii might pay $.25. You require a return of 9 percent and use a light fixture 500 hours per year. What is the break-even cost per kilowatt-hour? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 6 decimal places, e.g., 32.161616.) Break-even cost

You are considering buying a piece of industrial equipment to automate a part of your production process. This automation will save labor costs by as much as $30,654 per year over 9 years. What is the maximum amount that you would pay for this equipment your interest rate is 10%? (your answer must be rounded off to the nearest dollar, i.e., no decimal places)
Light emitting diode (LEDs) light bulbs have become required in recent years, but do they make financial sense? Suppose a typical 60-watt incandescent light bulb costs $.35 and lasts for 1,000 hours. A 15-watt LED, which provides the same light, costs $2.90 and lasts for 12,000 hours. A kilowatt hour of electricity costs $.111. A kilowatt-hour is 1,000 watts for 1 hour. However, electricity costs actually vary quite a bit depending on location and user type. An industrial user in West Virginia might pay $.04 per kilowatt-hour whereas a residential user in Hawaii might pay $.25..

You are considering buying a machine to produce widgets (again!). It takes you one year to finetune the machine so that it produces exactly the kind of widgets you want. The machine costs $40,000 today and produces 100,000 widgets in year 2. (You cannot produce in year 1 because you have to fine-tune the machine first.) Expected revenues are $1 per widget. The cost of producing widgets depends on the type of gas the machine uses. The machine uses one unit of gas per widget produced. In its current version the machine runs on a gas called "Gas A". The price of "Gas A" in year 2 is uncertain and will be known only at the beginning of year 2. This price will be either $0.75 or $0.25 per unit of gas with equal probability. All revenues and costs (except the cost of the machine) accrue at the end of year 2. The discount rate is 10%. a) What is the NPV of the project? b) The manufacturer of the machine offers you a device that can be attached to the machine. You will have to buy the device…

Light emitting diodes (LED) light bulbs have become required in recent years, but do they make financial sense? Suppose a typical 60-watt incandescent light bulb costs $.55 and lasts 1,000 hours. A 15-watt LED, which provides the same light, costs $3.90 and lasts for 12,000 hours. A kilowatt-hour of electricity costs $.131. A kilowatt-hour is 1,000 watts for 1 hour. If you require a return of 11 percent and use a light fixture 500 hours per year, what is the equivalent annual cost of each light bulb? (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.)
Kinky Copies may buy a high-volume copier. The machine costs $130,000 and this cost can be fully depreciated immediately. Kinky anticipates that the machine actually can be sold in 5 years for $30,000. The machine will save $22,000 a year in (after-tax) labor costs but will require an increase in working capital, mainly paper supplies, of $11,000. The firm's tax rate is 21%, and the discount rate is 6%. (Assume the net working capital will be recovered at the end of Year 5.) What is the NPV of this project? Note: Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places. NPV
Light-emitting diode (LED) light bulbs have become required in recent years, but do they make financial sense? Suppose a typical 60-watt incandescent light bulb costs $.45 and lasts for 1,000 hours. A 7-watt LED, which provides the same light, costs $2.25 and lasts for 40,000 hours. A kilowatt-hour of electricity costs $.121, which is about the national average. A kilowatt-hour is 1,000 watts for 1 hour. If you require a 10 percent return and use a light fixture 500 hours per year, what is the equivalent annual cost of each light bulb? (A negative answer should be indicated by a minus sign.
