- An aircraft hangar requires a new high-efficiency HVAC system for environmental control and reducing heating and cooling expenses. The cost of the HVAC system is $5.0 million, and the annual savings are expected to be $400,000. The useful life of the HVAC system is 20 years, and its residual value is zero. a) What is the simple payback period? b) What is the internal rate of return?

The Techron I costs $237,000, has a three-year life, and has pretax operating costs of $62, 000 per year. The Techron II costs $ 415,000, has a five - year life, and has pretax operating costs of $ 35,000 per year. For both milling machines, use straight - line depreciation to zero over the project's life and assume a salvage value of $39, 000. If your tax rate is 21 percent and your discount rate is 8 percent, compute the EAC for both machines. (Your answer should be a negative value and indicated by a minus sign.
