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)
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 %
Kiddy Toy Corporation needs to acquire the use of a machine to be used in its manufacturing process. The machine needed is manufactured by Lollie Corporation. The machine can be used for 10 years and then sold for $28,000 at the end of its useful life. Lollie has presented Kiddy with the following options: Buy machine. The machine could be purchased for $178,000 in cash. All maintenance costs, which approximate $23,000 per year, would be paid by Kiddy. Lease machine. The machine could be leased for a 10-year period for an annual lease payment of $43,000 with the first payment due immediately. All maintenance costs will be paid for by the Lollie Corporation and the machine will revert back to Lollie at the end of the 10-year period. Required: Assuming that a 9% interest rate properly reflects the time value of money in this situation and that all maintenance costs are paid at the end of each year, determine which option Kiddy should choose. Ignore income tax considerations. Note:…
A land development company is considering the purchase of earth-moving equipment. The equipment will have a first cost of $190,000 and a salvage value of $70000 when the company sells it in 10 years. A service contract for maintenance on the equipment will cost $40000 per year. The operating cost is expected to be $260 per day. Alternatively, the company can rent the necessary equipment for $1100 per day and hire a driver at $180 per day. If the company's MARR is 10% per year, how many days per year must the company need the equipment in order to justify its purchase? Alternatively
A presently owned machine can last 3 more years, if properly maintained at a cost of $15,000 per year. Its AOC is $31,000 per year. After 3 years, it can be sold for an estimated $9000. A replacement costs $80,000 with a $10,000 salvage value after 3 years and an operating cost of $19,000 per year. Different vendors have offered $10,000 and $20,000, respectively, for the current system as trade-in for the replacement machine. At i = 12% per year, perform a replacement study and determine whether the defender should be retained or replaced.

Owens Mills Corp. is considering producing two mutually exclusive machine types. Machine A requires an up-front expenditure at t = 0 of $450,000, it has an expected life of 2 years, and it will generate positive after-tax cash flows of $350,000 per year (all cash flows are realized at the end of the year) for 2 years. At the end of 2 years, the machine will have zero salvage value, but every two years the company can purchase a replacement machine with the same cost and identical cash inflows.Alternatively, it can choose Machine B, which requires an expenditure of $1 million at t = 0, has an expected life of 4 years, and will generate positive after-tax cash flows of $360,000 per year (all cash flows are realized at year end). At the end of 4 years, Machine B will also have an after-tax salvage value of $190,000. The cost of capital is 10%. Which machine should the Owens Mills choose?
