Explanation of Solution

Machine A: First cost (FC) is $150,000. Maintenance and operating cost (MO) is $70,000. Salvage value (SV) is $40,000. Time period (n) is 5.

Machine B: First cost (FC) is $1,025,000. Maintenance and operating cost (MO) is $5,000. Salvage value (SV) is $2,00,000. Time period (n) is infinitive.

Real return (i) is 12%.

The annual worth of Machine A (AWA) can be calculated as follows:

AWA=FC(i(1+i)n(1+i)n1)MO+SV(i(1+i)n1)=150,000(0.12(1+0.12)5(1+0.12)51)70,000+40,000(0.12(1+0.12)51)=150,000(0.27741)70,000+40,000(0.15741)=41,611.570,000+6,296.4=105,315

The annual worth is -$105,315.

The annual worth of Machine B (AWBA) can be calculated as follows:

AWB=FC×(i)MO=1,025,000(0.12)5,000=123,0005,000=128,000

The annual worth is -$128,000. Since the annual worth of the cost is less for Machine A, select Machine A.

Explanation of Solution

Inflation adjusted interest rate (if) can be calculated as follows:

if=i+f+i×f=0.12+0.07+0.12×0.07=0.19+0.0084=0.1984

Inflation adjusted interest rate is 19.84%.

The annual worth of machine A (AWA) can be calculated as follows:

AWA=FC(i(1+i)n(1+i)n1)MO+SV(i(1+i)n1)=150,000(0.1984(1+0.1984)5(1+0.1984)51)70,000+40,000(0.12(1+0.1984)51)=150,000(0.3332)70,000+40,000(0.1348)=49,98070,000+5,392=114,588

The annual worth is -$114,588.

The annual worth of Machine B (AWBA) can be calculated as follows:

AWB=FC×(i)MO=1,025,000(0.1984)5,000=203,3605,000=208,360

The annual worth is -$208,360. Since the annual worth of the cost is less for Machine A, select Machine A.

Annual worth can be calculated using the spreadsheet as follows:

Test Preparation QUESTION 2 [20] 2.1 Body Mass Index (BMI) is a summary measure of relative health. It is calculated by dividing an individual's weight (in kilograms) by the square of their height (in meters). A small sample was drawn from the population of UWC students to determine the effect of exercise on BMI score. Given the following table, find the constant and slope parameters of the sample regression function of BMI = f(Weekly exercise hours). Interpret the two estimated parameter values.
