Santa Cruz Community Hospital is considering investing $90,000 in new laundry equipment to replace its present equipment which is completely depreciated and outmoded. An alternative to this investment is a long-term contract with a local firm to perform the hospital's laundry service. It is expected that the hospital would save $20,000 per year in operating costs if the laundry service were performed internally. The new laundry equipment has an expected life of 6 years with zero salvage value. Santa Cruz can borrow or invest money at 8%. What is the NPV of investing in laundry equipment?

- General AccountingAerotron Electronics is considering the purchase of a water filtration system to assist in circuit board manufacturing. The system costs $220,000. It has an expected life of 7 years at which time its salvage value will be $7,500. Operating and maintenance expenses are estimated to be $13,000 per year. If the filtration system is not purchased, Aerotron Electronics will have to pay Bay City $42,000 per year for water purification. If the system is purchased, no water purification from Bay City will be needed. Aerotron Electronics must borrow 1/2 of the purchase price, but they cannot start repaying the loan for 2 years. The bank has agreed to 3 equal annual payments, with the 1st payment due at the end of year 2. The loan interest rate is 8% compounded annually. Aerotron Electronics' MARR is 10% compounded annually.

The existing machine is operable for five more years and will have a zero disposal price. If the machine is disposed now, it may be sold for $150,000. The new machine will cost $640,000 and an additional cash investment in working capital of $75,000 will be required. The new machine will reduce the average amount of time required to take the xrays and will allow an additional amount of business to be done at the hospital. The investment is expected to net $50,000 in additional cash inflows during the year of acquisition and $160,000 each additional year of use. The new machine has a five year life, and zero disposal value. These cash flows will generally occur throughout the year and are recognized at the end of each year.

- An environmental consultant is considering the installation of a water storage tank for a client. The tank is estimated to have an initial cost of $426,000, and annual maintenance costs are estimated to be $6,400 per year. As an alternative, a holding pond can be provided a short distance away at an initial cost of $180,000 for the pond plus $90,000 for pumps and piping. Annual operating and maintenance costs for the pumps and holding pond are estimated to be $17,000. The planning horizon is 20 years, and at that time, neither alternative has any salvage value. Determine the preferred alternative based on a present worth analysis with a MARR of 20%/year.The Transportation Service Directorate of a Municipality wants to purchase a newsoftware system to charge and track toll fees.

- Huntington Medical Center purchased a used lowfield MRI scanner 2 years ago for $445,000. Its operating cost is $272,000 per year and it can be sold for $150,000 anytime in the next 3 years. The Center’s director is considering replacing the presently owned MRI scanner with a state-of-the-art 3 Tesla machine that will cost $2.2 million. The operating cost of the new machine will be $340,000 per year, but it will generate extra revenue that is expected to amount to $595,000 per year. The new unit can probably be sold for $800,000 three years from now. You have been asked to determine how much the presently owned scanner would have to be worth on the open market for the AW values of the two machines to be the same over a 3-year planning period. The Center’s MARR is 20% per year.Riener Hospital has an x-ray machine with a book value of $60,000 and a remaining useful life of three years. At the end of the three years the equipment will have a zero-salvage value. Reiner can sell the old machine now for $32,000 and can purchase a new machine for $145,000. The old machine has variable manufacturing costs of $50,000 per year. The new machine will reduce variable manufacturing costs by $27,000 per year over the three-year life of the new machine. The total increase or decrease in net income by replacing the current machine with the new machine (ignoring the time value of money) is: Multiple Choice $32,000 decrease. $76,000 increase $18,000 decrease $52,000 increase $22,000 increase DA new recycling sorting and processing line is proposed to serve a medium size city. The installed cost of the new line is $2,400,000. The residual value after ten years is estimated at $480,000. The unit would produce recycled material ready for resale at a rate of $0.15/pound, and would run for ten years. How much recyclable material must be generated every year to justify the project (i.e., for the present value of the project to be positive). Use an interest rate of 9%.
