I like driving small cars and I buy nearly identical ones whenever the old one
needs replacing. Typically, I trade in my old car for a new one costing about
$20000. Standard maintenance and repair costs are expected to be $500 in the
first year (at the end of the year), $750 in the second year, increasing by $500
per year thereafter. Assume interest is 8% and straight line depreciation with a
salvage value for the vehicle of $4000 after four years.
a. Calculate the EAC TOTAL for YEAR 3. Round your answer to the nearest dollar.

Item A is currently in use at a plant. The original cost of the piece of machinery was $2,000. Its
maintenance cost is $500 this year, increasing each year by $30. Items A can be replaced by Item
B which has a current cost of $3,500. Item B has no annual maintenance costs, but it is
anticipated that the item purchase cost increases by $50 per year. Disregarding income taxes
effects (such as depreciation), what is the predicted optimum time (after year 'X') to schedule a
replacement of Item A with Item B. Use 8% as the 'interest rate', which really is the value of
money to the company.
a. 5 years
b. 6 years
c. 7 years
d.
8 years
Cori's Meats is looking at a new sausage system with an installed cost of $495,000. This cost will be depreciated straight-line to zero over the project’s five-year life, at the end of which the sausage system can be scrapped for $73,000. The sausage system will save the firm $175,000 per year in pretax operating costs, and the system requires an initial investment in net working capital of $32,000. If the tax rate is 23 percent and the discount rate is 10 percent, what is the NPV of this project?

- A granary purchases a conveyor used in the manufacture of grain for transporting, filling, or emptying. It is purchased and installed for $70,000 with a market value for salvage purposes that decreases at a rate of 20% per year with a minimum of value $3,000. Operation and maintenance is expected to cost $14,000 in the first year, increasing $1,000 per year thereafter. The granary uses a MARR of 15%. What is the optimum replacement interval for the conveyor?arrow_forwardPEPSI purchased an equipment for P53,000 and paid P1,500 for freight and delivery charges to the job site. The equipment has a normal life of 10 years with a trade-in value of P5,000 against the purchase of a new equipment at the end of the life.

The Techron I costs $228,000, has a three-year life, and has pretax operating costs of $59,000 per year. The Techron II costs $400,000, has a five-year life, and has pretax operating costs of $32,000 per year. For both milling machines, use straight-line depreciation to zero over the project’s life and assume a salvage value of $36,000. If your tax rate is 24 percent and your discount rate is 8 percent, compute the EAC for both machines. Note: Your answer should be a negative value and indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.arrow_forward
- A special-purpose machine tool set would cost $20,000. The tool set will be financed by a $10,000 bank loan repayable in two equal annual installments at 10% compounded annually. The tool is expected to provide annual (material) savings of $30,000 for two years and is to be depreciated by the MACRS three-year recovery period. The tool will require annual O&M costs in the amount of $5,000. The salvage value at the end of the two years is expected to be $8,000.

You have learned that a new machine is available that offers many advantages and that you can purchase it for $160,000 today. The CCA rate applicable to both machines is 40%; neither machine will have any long-term salvage value. You expect that the new machine will produce earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) of $40,000 per year for the next ten years. The current machine is expected to produce EBITDA of $23,000 per year. All other expenses of the two machines are identical. The market value today of the current machine is $50,000.
