He estimates that thesecosts will be approximately $2000 a year and estimates that the costs will increase by $100 per year. He hopes to keep the vehicle forfive years and then sell it for an estimated value of $2000. Mr. Steele has an MARR of 8%. The equivalent annual cost of the cash flowassociated with his purchase is most nearly:$-1,850$-3,100$3,000$3,800

Rebecca is moving away from New York City for her new job, so she must buy a car rather than rely on public transit. The new car she is considering will cost $ 18,000 to buy, $ 1,500 per year to insure, and $ 500 per year for maintenance after the 3-year warranty expires. She would keep the car for 7 years when it will have a salvage value of $ 7,000. She has found a 2-year-old car that is the same model for $ 13,000. The 3-year warranty is transferrable, so the annual maintenance cost of $500 starts in year 2. Because the car is less valuable, insurance is $300 per year less than for the new car. After 5 years, the vehicle will be 7 years old and will have the same salvage value of $ 7,000.Rebecca is ignoring costs for fuel, oil, tires and registration, because the two vehicles will have the same costs. If her interest rate is 9%, how much cheaper is the used car (difference of EAC of two vehicles)
Kaleo has made up his mind—he wants a pool in the family’s backyard! He figures his kids and spouse will be thrilled. However, to cover the cost of the pool, they’ll have to pack up and live away from home for a few weeks during the summer to rent their home to vacationers. He crunched the numbers based on the following estimates. 1. Cost of pool/installation $50,000 2. Life of the pool (no salvage value) 20 years 3. Annual net cash inflows from renting (net of cash expenses for renting and pool maintenance) $6,500 4. Tax rate 23% 5. Average rate of return 8% Kaleo’s daughter, Sarah, found the above information written on a sheet of paper in his office, along with the following notes. “This is a no-brainer! We’ll recover the cost of this pool in just 7 years, even though we plan to live here until we’re old and gray, or at least as long as the pool hangs on. If we can rent our house out for just 3 weeks each year, it’ll be almost pure profit that we can put toward paying off…

Bob is considering buying a new farming tractor for his farm. He has a choice between a John-Deere-XP tractor and a Sunflower-FT tractor. Bob has a MARR of 6%. John-Deere-XP: First Cost: $150,000. Life: 10 years, zero salvage value at the end of 10 years. Annual Expense (maintenance, charging, etc.): $3,000. Sunflower-FT First Cost: $200,000.
