3.An industrial firm is considering purchasing several programmable controllers and automating the company's
manufacturing operations. It is estimated that the equipment will initially cost $120,000, and the labor to install it will
cost $25,000. A service contract to maintain the equipment will cost $5,000 per year. Trained service personnel will have
to be hired at an annual salary of $50,000. Also estimated is an approximate $10,000 annual income-tax savings (cash
inflow). How much will this investment in equipment and services have to increase the annual revenues after taxes in
order to break even? The equipment is estimated to have an operating life of 10 years with no salvage value (because of
obsolescence). The firm's MARR is 12%. Ans. R= $90,662.70
