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. Additionally, each part produced by the method will cost $10. Method B will involve purchasing the part from a subcontractor for $27 per part. At an interest rate of 10% per year, What is the number of parts (in x thousands) per year required for the two methods to break even ? A. 1480 B.1490 C. 1500 which is it and why
Company A is considering two alternatives. Machine A has a first cost of $15,000. The life is 6 years and it has an annual maintenance and operating cost of $1,500. Machine B has a first cost of $18,000, a life of 8 years and a salvage value of $1,500. The annual operating cost is $1,000. Which machine should be used to justify the purchase of such machine if money is worth 7% and calculate the difference between the equivalent annual worths.
One of two methods must be used to produce expansion anchors. Method A costs $80,000 initially and will have a $15,000 salvage value after 3 years. The operating cost with this method will be $30,000 per year. Method B will have a first cost of $120,000, an operating cost of $8000 per year, and a $40,000 salvage value after its 3-year life. At an interest rate of 12% per year, which method should be used on the basis of a present worth analysis? Also, write the two spreadsheet functions to perform the PW analysis.
One of two methods must be used to produce expansion anchors. Method A costs $75,000 initially and will have a $19,000 salvage value after 3 years. The operating cost with this method will be $23,000 per year. Method B will have a first cost of $110,000, an operating cost of $19,000 per year, and a $31,000 salvage value after its 3-year life. The interest rate for both the methods is 11%. Which method should be used on the basis of a present worth analysis? The present worth of method A is (about -117,000) and that of method B is (is not about -172,000)
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?
Ballard MicroBrew is considering the purchase of an automated bottling machine for $55,000. The machine would replace an old piece of equipment that costs $14,000 per year to operate. The new machine would cost $6,000 per year to operate. The old machine currently in use is fully depreciated and could be sold now for a salvage value of $20,000. The new machine would have a useful life of 10 years with no salvage value. Required: 1. What is the annual depreciation expense associated with the new bottling machine? 2. What is the annual incremental net operating income provided by the new bottling machine? 3. What is the initial investment used for calculating the machine's simple rate of return? 4. What is the simple rate of return on the new bottling machine? Note: Round your answer to 1 decimal place i.e. 0.123 should be considered as 12.3%. 1. Depreciation expense 2. Incremental net operating income 3. Initial investment 4. Simple rate of return %
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?
