Suppose that you have just completed the mechanical design of a high-speed automated palletizer that has an investment cost of $3,800,000. The existing palletizer is quite
old and has no salvage value. The market value for the new palletizer is estimated to be $430,000 after nine years. One million pallets will be handled by the palletizer each
year during the nine-year expected project life. What net savings per pallet (i.e., total savings less expenses) will have to be generated by the palletizer to justify this purchase
in view of a MARR of 18% per year? Use the AW method.
Click the icon to view the interest and annuity table for discrete compounding when the MARR is 18% per year.
The net savings required to be generated by the new palletizer to justify its purchase are $
per pallet (Round to the nearest cent)
You have agreed to make investment in your friends agricultural farm. This would require an amount of $20,000 as initial investment on your part. Your friend promises you revenue (before expenses) of $3600 per year the first year and thereafter the revenue increases by $200 per year. Your share of the estimated annual expenses is $1000. You are planning to invest for six years. Your friend has made the commitment to buyout your share of the business at that time for $24000. You have decided to set a personal MARR of 15% per year. Judge the profitability of the investment project by using Future Worth (FW) method.
A new wave-soldering machine is expected to save Brisbane Circuit Boards $15,000 per year through reduced labour costs and increased quality. The device will have a life of eight (8) years, and have a salvage value of $20,000. at the end of the 8th year (salvage value means the used machine can be sold in the open market). If the company can generally expect to get 12% return on its capital, how much could it afford to pay for the wave-soldering machine
