The initial cost of a pickup truck is $12,748 and will have a salvage value of $4,360 after five years. Maintenance is estimated to be a uniform gradient amount of $121 per year, with zero dollar for first year maintenance. The operation cost is estimated to be $0.3 per mile for 351 miles per month. If the interest rate is 12%, what is the annual equivalent cost (AEC) for the truck?
Your firm has purchased an injection molding machine at a cost of $100,000. The machine's useful life is estimated at 8 years. Your accounting department has estimated the
capital cost for this machine at about $25,455 per year. If your firm's minimum acceptable rate of return is 20%, how much salvage value did the accounting department assume at
the end of 8 years? Use Capital Recovery method.

- Your company is considering purchasing a new CNC machining center. The net benefits in the first year will be $50,000, increasing at a rate of $4,000 per year for the subsequent nine years (so the benefits are $50,000, $54,000, $58,000, etc.). You think the company can get a salvage value of $18,000 at the end of its 10-year useful life. If the MARR is 8%, how much can the company justify spending on the CNC machining center? Solve by present worth analysis.arrow_forwardPolaris Industries wishes to purchase a multiple-use in-plant “road test'’ simulator that can be used for ATVS, motorcycles, and snowmobiles. It takes digital data from relatively short drives on a desired surface-from smooth to exceptionally harsh-and simulates the ride over and over while the vehicle is mounted to a test stand under load. It can run continuously if desired and provides opportunities to redesign areas of poor reliability. It costs $128,000, and its market value decreases by 30 percent each year. Operating costs are modest; however, maintenance costs can be significant due to the rugged use. O&M in the first year is expected to be $10,000, increasing by 25 percent each subsequent year. MARR is 15 percent. What is the optimum replacement interval?arrow_forwardA large city in the midwest needs to acquire a street-cleaning machine to keep its roads looking nice year round. A used cleaning vehicle will cost $85,000 and have a $20,000 market (salvage) value at the end of its five-year life. A new system with advanced features will cost $150,000 and have a $40,000 market value at the end of its five-year life. The new system is expected to reduce labor hours compared with the used system. Current street-cleaning activity requires the used system to operate 8 hours per day for 20 days per month. Labor costs $50 per hour (including fringe benefits), and MARR is 12% per year. (11.2) a. Find the breakeven percent reduction in labor hours for the new system. b.

Investigate how sensitive the decision is to (a) changes in the MARR, (b) changes in the market value of the new system, and (c) the productivity improvement of the new system. Graph your results.

- A certain factory building has an old lighting system. To light this building costs, on average, $30,000 a year. A lighting consultant tells the factory supervisor that the lighting bill could be reduced to $8,000 a year if $55,000 were invested in a new lighting system for the factory building. If the new lighting system is installed, an incremental maintenance cost of $4,000 per year must be considered. If the old lighting system has zero salvage value and the new lighting system is estimated to have a life of 20 years, what is the net annual benefit for this investment in new lighting? Consider the MARR to be 12%. Also consider that the new lighting system has zero salvage value at the end of its life.arrow_forwardConsider manufacturing equipment that has an installed cost of $120,000. The equipment is expected to generate $45,000 of the annual energy savings during its first year of installation. The value of these annual savings is expected to increase by 5% per year (over previous year) because of increased fuel costs. Assume that the equipment has a service life of 10 years (or 5,000 operating hours per year) with $20,000 worth of salvage value. Determine the equivalent dollar savings per each operating hour at i = 10% per year.(a) $6.99 per hour(b) $7.24 per hour( c) $4.45 per hour(d) $4.29 per hourarrow_forwardYour company is planning to expand by taking over the next-door manufacturing facility. You are faced with a buy-versus-lease option. The purchase price is $1.5 million, while you can lease it for $270,000 per year for 10 years. If purchased, it can be sold for 40% of its original price at the end of its 10 years life. In either case the annual income is estimated to be $1.2 million and the annual operating cost would be $300,000. Your company pays 38% combined income tax and the after-tax minimum attractive rate of return (MARR) is 10%. Assuming lease payments are due at the end of the year and using a straight-line depreciation over the 10 years life with full first year depreciation, determine: a. The EUAW = EUAB-EUAC for each option with MARR = 10%. Should the facility be purchased or leased? b. The break-even rate of return of purchase versus lease, i.e. ROR at which (EUAB – EUAC) purchase = (EUAB - EUAC) leasearrow_forward
