The manager uses a market interest rate of 12% per year. If inflation rate is expected to average 3.70% per year over the next several years, determine the PW of
each equipment.
1. The PW of Equipment A is
O A. $9,183
O B. $13,208
O C. $12,400
O D. $19,252
2. The PW of Equipment B is

O B. $18,744
O C. $13,377
O D. $26,802
Your company is considering the purchase of a 30-tonne hoist. The first cost is expected to be $230,000. Net savings will
be $38,000 per year over a 12-year life and will be salvaged for $32,715. If the company's after-tax MARR is 8% and it is
taxed at 45%, what is the future worth (FW) of this project? Note: You will have to calculate the CCA depreciation rate
from the information provided.
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

Machine A costs $9 million but realizes after-tax inflows of $3.5 million per year for 4 years. After 4 years, the machine must be replaced. Machine B costs $14 million and realizes after-tax inflows of $3 million per year for 8 years, after which it must be replaced. Assume that machine prices are not expected to rise because inflation will be offset by cheaper components used in the machines. The cost of capital is 8%. Using the replacement chain approach to project analysis, by how much would the value of the company increase if it accepted the better machine? Do not round intermediate calculations.
