Summary Introduction
To determine: The change in annual rental charge of machine A and machine B.
Equivalent annual cost is the annual cost for owning, maintain, and operating an assert for its entire life. It can be used for making capital budgeting decision and it helps to compare the cost-effectiveness of various assets that have unequal lifespans.

Economics
A new process for manufacturing lead pencils will
have a first cost of $35,000 and annual costs of
$17,000. The new process will double their
capacity. The extra income expected from the new
process is $22,000 per year. (a) What is the no-
return payback period for this project? (b) What is
the payback period at an interest rate of 10% per
year?
Advanced Modular Technology (AMT) makes energy cleaner, safer, more secure and more efficient. It
typically exhibits net annual revenues that increase over a fairly long period. In the long run, an AMT
project may be profitable as measured by IRR, but its simple payback period may be unacceptable
Evaluate this AMT project using the IRR method when the company MARR is 26% per year and its
maximum alowable payback period is three years. What is your recommendation?

Suppose that each variable may turn out to be either 10% higher or 10% lower than the initial estimate. The project will last for 10 years and requires an initial investment of $1.4 million, which will be depreclated straight-line over the project life to a final value of zero. The firm's tax rate is 21% and the required rate of return is 14%. (For all the requirements, a negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign. Enter your answer in dollars not in millions.
