Heinrich is a manufacturing engineer with the Miller Company. He has determined the costs of producing a new product to be as follows: Equipment cost: $288,000/year Equipment salvage value at EOY5 = $41,000 Variable cost per unit of production: $14.55 Overhead cost per year: $48,300 If the Miller Company uses a 5-year planning horizon and the product can be sold for a unit price of $39.75, how many units must be produced and sold each year to break even?
Evaluate a combined cycle power plant on the basis of the Present Worth Method (PW) when MARR is 12 % per year.Pertinent cost data are as follows: (Power Plant (thousands of $) Investment Cost: $12693 Useful life: 15 ears Market Value (EOY 15) $3,000 Annual Operating expenses: $1,000 Overhaul cost-end of 5th year: $1897 Overhaul cost-end of 10th year. $1819
A tractor for over-the-road hauling is to be purchased by AgriGrow for $90,000. It is expected to be of use to the company for 6 years, after which it will be salvaged for $4,000. Transportation cost savings are expected to be $170,000 per year; however, the cost of drivers is expected to be $70,000 per year and operating expenses are expected to be $63,000 per year, including fuel, maintenance, insurance and the like. The company’s income-tax rate is 25% and MARR is 10% on after-tax cash flows. Suppose that, to AgriGrow’s surprise, they actually dispose of the tractor at the end of the 4th tax year for $6,000. Develop tables using a spreadsheet to determine the ATCF for each year and the after-tax PW, AW, IRR, and ERR after only 4 years. Use MACRS-GDS and state the appropriate property class. Only calculate PW and IRR
