Production engineers of a manufacturing firm have proposed a new equipment to increase productivity of a manual gas-cutting operation. The initial investment (first cost) is $5,00,000 and the equipment will have a salvage value of $1,00,000 at the end of its expected life of 5 years. Increased productivity will yield an annual revenue of $2,00,000 per year. If the firm's minimum attractive rate of return is 15%, is the procurement of the new equipment economically justified?

A subdivision developer must construct a sewage treatment plant and deposit sufficient money in a perpetual trust fund to pay the $5000 5-53 per year operating cost and to replace the treatment plant every 40 years. The plant and future replacement plants will cost $150,000 each. If the trust fund earns 8% interest, what is the developer's capitalized cost?
An investment of P270,000 can be made in a project that will produce a uniform annual revenue of P185,400 for 5 years and then have a salvage value of 10% of the investment. Out-of-pocket cost for operation andmaintenance will be P81,000 per year. Taxes and insurance will be 4% of the first cost per year. The company expects capital to earn not less than 25% before income taxes. Is this a desirable investment? What is the payback period? Use the methods: (a) Future Worth Method(b) Present Worth Method

A firm is must choose to buy the GSU-3300 or the UGA-3000. Both machines make the firm's production process more efficient which in turn increases incremental cash flows. The GSU-3300 produces incremental cash flows of $25,025.00 per year for 8 years and costs $102,242.00. The ÚGA-3000 produces incremental cash flows of $27,530.00 per year for 9 years and cost $126,773.00. The firm's WACĆ is 8.37%. What is the equivalent annual annuity of the GSU-3300? Assume that there are no taxes.
