A machine’s first cost is $60,000 with salvage values over the next 5 years of are $50K, $40K, $32K, $25K, and $12K. The annual operating and maintenance costs are the same every year. Determine the machine total cost.
A company manager is considering purchasing a truck for transport and distribution of the company’s goods. The truck has an estimated service life of 18 years and its initial purchasing value is $ 60000. The annual earnings from the transport and the distribution of the goods are expected to change within the service life of the truck. That’s, at the end of the 1st, 7th and 14th years, each annual revenue will be $ 12000 and at the end of the other years, each annual revenue has again equal value but their values are different from $ 12000. Compute the unknown annual revenues to reach equilibrium on the cash flow series over the service life of the truck. (Assume annual interest rate of 8%).
On January 1, Manning Co. purchases and installs a new machine costing $324,000 with a five-year life and an estimated $30,000 salvage value.
