The Riteway Ad Agency provides cars for its sales staff. Its present fleet of cars is three years old and will be sold very shortly. To
provide a replacement fleet, the company is considering two alternatives:
Purchase alternative: The company can purchase the cars and sell them in three years.
Ten cars would be purchased for $15,000 each. If this
alternative is chosen, the entire fleet will incur the
following costs:
Annual cost of servicing, taxes, and licensing
$ 3,100
Repairs, first year
$ 1,000
Repairs, second year
$ 3,500
$ 5,500
Repairs, third year
At the end of three years, the fleet could be sold for one-half of the original purchase price.
Lease alternative:
The company can lease the cars under a three-year lease
contract costing $50,000 per year (the first payment due at the
end of Year 1). As part of this lease agreement, the owner
would provide all servicing and repairs, license the cars, and
pay the taxes. Riteway would make a $10,500 security deposit at
the beginning of…
Maintenance money for an athletic complex has been sought. Mr. Kendall, the Athletic Director, would like to solicit a donation to cover all future expected maintenance costs for the building. These maintenance costs are expected to be $1.4 million each year for the first five years, $1.7 million each year for years 6 through 10, and $ million each year after that. (The building has an indefinite service life.) If the money is placed in an account that will pay 5% interest compounded annually, how large should the gift be?
The gift should be $_____million. (Round to two decimal places.)

- A client has an existing CAD/CAM system that costs $95,000 per year to lease (payable at the end of each year of use) and a new contract the client is considering entering will fix the price for over the next four years. The client is also considering purchasing a CAD/CAM system to replace its currently leased system (rather than renewing / entering a new lease contract). The new system will cost $450,000 to purchase and install. The system has an estimated life of five years, when it is expected to become obsolete, but it will have a salvage value of $25,000. The interest rate is projected to be 6% per year during the life of the project. a. Draw a cash flow diagram for the next four years for the existing system (leased system) and a separate cash flow diagram for the system that is being considered for purchase. b. For each option (leasing and buying), calculate the value of all cash receipts and disbursements at the end of the third year. c.

Company X estimates that by building a $500,000 maintenance facility with a life of 15 years and a salvage value of $100,000 at the end of its life, it could handle its own overhauling at a cost of only $30,000 per machine per year. What is the minimum annual number of machines that Company X must operate to make it economically feasible to build its own facility, assuming an interest rate of 10%?arrow_forwardRR must build a tunnel to maintain his access around the mountain. The tunnel could be fabricated of normal steel for an initial cost of $45,000 and should last for 18 years. Maintenance will cost $1,000 per year.Another option would be to use corrosion resistant steel, which will last for 18 years, with annual maintenance cost of $100. In 18 years there would be no salvage value for either bridge. RR pays combined federal and state taxes at the 48% marginal rate and uses straight-line depreciation. If the after tax MARR is 10%, what is the maximum amount that should be spent on the corrosion-resistant tunnel?arrow_forward

- Barbour Electric is considering the introduction of a new product. This product can be produced in one of several ways: (a) using the present assembly line at a cost of $20 per unit, (b) using the current assembly line after it has been overhauled (at a cost of $5,000) with a cost of $18 per unit; and (c) on an entirely new assembly line (costing $30,000) designed especially for the new product with a per unit cost of $15. Barbour is worried, however, about the impact of competition. If no competition occurs, they expect to sell 10,000 units the first year. With competition, the number of units sold is expected to drop to 6,000. At the moment, their best estimate is that there is a 40% chance of competition. They have decided to make their decision based on the first-year sales. (a) Develop a decision table showing the payoffs. (b) What decision should they make?
