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?
Consider a proposal to enhance production of tortillas en a
taqueria.
The new machine is estimated to cost $20 million and will
incur an additional $1 million per year in maintenance costs.
The machine will produce annual savings of $7 million each
year.
The Minimum acceptable rate of return (MARR) is 10% per
year, and the study period is five years at which time the
machine will be obsolete (worthless).
What is the maximum (minimum) percentage of maintenance
cost can change that reverse your decision? (write upto 4
decimals.)

The cost of the system is $5,000,000 with a life expectancy of 10 years and no salvage value. The annual operating cost of the system is $400,000 and a revenue stream of $1,500,000 at the end of each year is expected for life. Using AW analysis and assuming a MARR of 10%, is this investment economically justified? No, with AW= -$3,900,000 No, with AW= -$286,250 Yes, with AW = $686,250 Yes, with AW= $286,250arrow_forwardA company needs to acquire a machine to increase its production. To do so, you will need to make an initial investment of $150,000. Furthermore, the use of the machine will result in annual operating and maintenance costs of around 2,500.00, for a useful life of 10 years and a residual value of %30,000. At the end of 4 and 8 years, it requires revisions that cost $20,000 and $10,000 respectively. At the end of the fifth year, it must undergo a general renovation at the cost of .$45,000. Under these conditions, what is the Uniform Equivalent Annual Cost generated by the company's acquisition of the machine? Consider an attractive minimum rate of return of 10% per year.arrow_forward

Two options are available for painting your house: (1) oil-based painting which costs P5,000 and (2) water-based painting which costs P3,000. The estimated lives are 10 years and 5 years respectively. For either option, there is no salvage value at the end of respective service life. Assume that you will keep and maintain the house for 10 years. If your personal interest rate is 10% per year, which of the following statements is correct? A. On annual basis, Option 1 will cost about P850.00 B. On annual basis, Option 2 is about P22.00 cheaper than Option 1 C. On annual basis, both options cost about the same. D.

- Problem 05.031 Future Worth Analysis A small strip-mining coal company is trying to decide whether it should purchase or lease a new clamshell. If purchased, the "shell" will cost $137,500 and is expected to have a $42,500 salvage value after 6 years. Alternatively, the company can lease a clamshell for only $13,000 per year, but the lease payment will have to be made at the beginning of each year. If the clamshell is purchased, it will be leased to other strip-mining companies whenever possible, an activity that is expected to yield revenues of $9,000 per year. If the company's MARR is 11% per year, should the clamshell be purchased or leased on the basis of a future worth analysis? Assume the annual M&O cost is the same for both options.

The land costs $250,000, the building costs $650,000, the equipment costs $300,000, and $80,000 additional working capital is required. It is expected that the product will result in sales of $700,000 per year for 11 years, at which time the land can be sold for $350,000, the building for $400,000, and the equipment for $50,000. All of the working capital would-be recovered at the EOY 11. The annual expenses for labor, materials, and all other items are estimated to total $500,000.
