A company predicts they will make $1,321 per year over the next 19 years if they spend $2,497 on a machine (an asset with multi-year use). If the MARR is 16.0%, how much is this investment worth per year?
A new six-speed automatic transmission for automobiles offers an estimated 4% improvement in fuel economy
compared to traditional four speed transmissions in front-wheel drive cars. If a four-speed transmission car averages
28 miles per gallon and gasoline costs $4.00 per gallon, how much extra can a motorist pay for a fuel-efficient six-
speed transmission? Assume that the car will be driven for 130,000 miles over its lifetime of 15 years. The motorist
can earn 7% per year on investments. Assume miles driven each year are roughly constant.
