Your company must purchase a machine to build the products it produces. There are two options: it could purchase Machine A which costs $80,000 initially; $13,000 to operate annually; and has a salvage value of $4,000 at the end of 6 years. Alternatively, it could purchase Machine B which costs $135,000 initially; $4,000 to operate annually; and has a salvage value of $25,000 at the end of 6 years. Conduct a future worth analysis, assuming a MARR of 10%. Click here to access the TVM Factor Table calculator. Machine A Machine B $ FW Carry all interim calculations to 5 decimal places and then round your final answers to a whole number. The tolerance is ±10. Which machine should your company purchase?

A company is considering two methods for obtaining a certain part on annual basis. Method A will involve purchasing a machine for $60K with a life of 5 years, a $3K salvage value and a fixed annual operating cost of $10K.

Some equipment is needed for a construction project. It can be leased for $150,000 annually, or it can be purchased for $900,000 at the beginning and sold for $225,000 at the end of 3 years. What is the rate of return for owning the equipment rather than leasing it?
A customer is going to buy a brand new pump and motor. It has an initial cost of $10,000. The lifetime of the pump is fifteen years and is estimated to save about $1,000 per year. There is also an additional cost of maintenance at $300 per year with the pump. At the end of its lifetime, the pump will have a salvage value of $0. The interest rate is at 4%. Find the annual value of the pump and what is the salvage value for the pump in order to break even?
A company wants to buy a drilling machine that will go down to 300 meters. When this drilling machine is purchased, it will cost 500.000 TL. Annual operation-maintenance cost will be 35.000 TL per year. It is expected that the recurring major maintenance cost will be 155.000 TL every 5 years. Estimated salvage value at the end of its useful life is 115.000 TL.
