A power plant is being considered in the dead sea
location. For an initial investment of $X1 million,
annual net revenues are estimated to be $15
million in years 1-5 and $20 million in years 6-20.
Assume no residual market value for the plant.
(X1= $100 and X2=8%)
a. What is the simple payback period for the plant?
b. What is the discounted payback period when
the MARR is x2% per year?
A contractor is considering whether to buy or lease a new machine for her layout site work.
Buying a new machine will cost $120,000, with a residual value of $12,000 after the machine's
useful life of eight years. On the other hand, leasing requires an annual payment of $30,000,
which occurs at the start of each year. MARR is 20%. On the basis of an internal rate of return
analysis, which alternative should the contractor be advised to accept?
PLEASE ANSWER AND SHOW SOLUTION
Machine cost = $15,000; Life = 8 years; salvage value = $3000. What minimum cash return would the investor demand annually from the operation of this machine if he desires interest annually at the rate of 8% in his investment and accumulates a capital replacement fund by investing annual deposits at 5%?
