Textbook Question
Chapter 10, Problem 27QP
Break-Even Replacement [LO2] The previous two problems suggest that using CFLs is a good idea from a purely financial perspective unless you live in an area where power is relatively inexpensive, but there is another wrinkle. Suppose you have a residence with a lot of incandescent bulbs that are used on average 500 hours a year. The average bulb will be about halfway through its life, so it will have 500 hours remaining (and you can’t tell which bulbs are older or newer). At what cost per kilowatt-hour docs it make sense to replace your incandescent bulbs today?

Johnson Limited is contemplating the installation of a new system that would allow for automated handling of customer
inquiries about their order status, account balances, etc. Currently all such inquiries are handled manually by customer service
representatives. The software for the new system would cost $230,000. An additional $161,000 would be required for one-time
installation costs. Management estimates that the new system would result in costs of $10,100 per year related to addressing
software issues and other technological problems that may arise. However, the new system is expected to reduce labour costs
by $71,000 per year.
Management estimates that the system would be used for five years. Severance costs related to the employees that would be
laid off after implementing the new system would be $20,500. Johnson Limited requires a return of at least 16% on investments
of this type.
Required:
Ignore income taxes.
1. Compute the net annual cost savings promised by the new system.…
Q6
Just because a project’s payback period is relatively long doesn’t mean it is not profitable in the long run. Consider an investment in LED lights with a price tag of $239,000. The estimated annual savings in electricity and routine maintenance is $40,300 and the life of the LED lights is 20 years. Solve, a. What is the simple payback period for the lights? b. What is the IRR of this investment? c. What do you conclude from Part (a) and Part (b)?

- ! Required information Two options are available for setting up a wireless meter scanner and controller. A simple setup is good for 2 years and has an initial cost of $11,000, no salvage value, and an AOC of $27,000 per year. A more permanent system has a higher first cost of $73,000, but it has an estimated life of 6 years and a salvage value of $15,000. It costs only $17,000 per year to operate and maintain. NOTE: This is a multi-part question. Once an answer is submitted, you will be unable to return to this part.
