Raytheon wishes to use an automated environmental chamber in the manufacture of electronic components. The chamber is to be used for rigorous reliability testing and burn-in. It is installed for $1.4 million and will have a salvage value of $200,000 after 8 years. Its use will create an opportunity to increase sales by $650,000 per year and will have operating expenses of $250,000 per year. Corporate income taxes are 40 percent. Develop tables using a spreadsheet to determine the ATCF for each year and the after-tax PW, AW, for 8 years. After-tax MARR is 10 percent. Use 7- years class depreciation for MACRS and IRR if the chamber is kept

A man is considering putting up his own enterprise, where an investment of 800,000 will be required and will take 15 years to recoup. He estimates his annual sales at 800,000 along with the following operating costs. Materials =160,000/ yearLabor = 280,000/ yearOverhead = (40,000 + 10% of sales)/ yearSelling Expense = 60,000/ yearThe man will give up his regular job paying 216,000 Php per year and devote all his time to the operation of his business, this will result in decreasing his labor cost by 40,000 per year, material cost by 28,000 per year and overhead cost by 32,000 per year.
