QUESTION 1 A new machine is to be purchased for $200,000. The company believes it will generate $75,000 annually in revenue due to the purchase of this machine. The company willI have to train an operator to run this machine and this will result in additional labor expenses of $25,000 annually. The new machine will be depreciated using 5 years MACRS, even though the life of the project is 7 years, and the salvage value is estimated to be $0 at the end of year 7. The tax rate is 40% and the company's MARR is 15%.

uppose that you purchased a HVAC system five years ago for $75, 000. The O&Mcosts are $15, 000 this year and are expected to increase by $1, 000 each year for the next five yearsthen remain the same for the following years.The current salvage value of the system is $15, 000; salvage value after one year is estimated tobe $12, 000; after two years, $11, 000; after three years, $10, 000; after four years, $9, 000; and so on.A new industrial HVAC system is available for purchase at a price of $95, 000, including instal-lation. The market value of the new system will decrease at a rate of 15% each year. The O&Mcosts are expected to be $1, 000 in the first year, and will increase at a rate of 20% each year. Themaximum service life of the new system is 10 years. Assume that your company uses an interestrate of 10% for all project evaluations.(a) Find the remaining economic life of the currently owned asset.(b) What is the economic service life of the new system?(c) Use the…
Ella Ltd recently started to manufacture and sell productDG. The variable cost of product DG is £4 per unit and the totalweekly fixed costs are £18 000.The company has set the initial selling price of product DG byadding a mark up of 40 per cent to its total unit cost. It has assumedthat production and sales will be 3000 units per week.The company holds no stocks of product DG.Required:(a) Calculate for product DG:(i) the initial selling price per unit; and(ii) the resultant weekly profit. The management accountant has established that alinear relationship between the unit selling price (P in £)and the weekly demand (Q in units) for product DG isgiven by:P = 20 - 0:002QThe marginal revenue (MR in £ per unit) is related to weeklydemand (Q in units) by the equation:MR = 20 - 0:004Q(b) Calculate the selling price per unit for product DG that shouldbe set in order to maximize weekly profit. (c) Distinguish briefly between penetration and skimming pricingpolicies when launching a new…
A new machine costs $899,090 and falls in a 29.50% CCA class. The machine will have zero value after 5 years of use but will save $417,680 annually in operating costs before taxes in those five years. Assume a tax rate of 34.17%. Using a required return of 15.11%, what is the equivalent annual cost (EAC) of the machine purchase, considering the annual cash flow, initial purchase, and CCA tax shield? Options $59,682 $61,252 $62,823 $64,393 $65,964
2. One year ago, a machine was purchased at a cost of $2,000, to be used for 6 years.However, the machine has failed to perform properly and has a cost of $500 per year forrepairs, adjustments, and shutdowns. A new machine is available to accomplish thefunctions desired and has an initial cost of $3,500. Its maintenance costs are expected tobe $50 per year during its service of 5 years. The approximate market value of the presentmachine has been roughly $1,200. If the operating cost (other than maintenance) for bothmachines are equal, show whether it is economical to purchase the new machine. Performa before-tax study, using an interest rate of 12% and assume that the salvage values will benegligible.
