An engineering firm from purchased, 12 years
ago, a heavy planner for P50,000 with no salvage
value. As the life of the planner was 20 years, a
straight line depreciation reserve has been
provided on that basis. Now the firm wishes to
replace the old planner with a new one possessing
several advantages. It can sell the old planner for
P10,000. The new one will cost P100,000. How
much new capital will be required to make the
purchase?
- a. P60,000
- b. P55,000
• c. P66,000
- d. P57.000
Dog Up! Franks is looking at a new sausage system with an installed cost of $520,000.
This cost will be depreciated straight-line to zero over the project's five-year life, at the
end of which the sausage system can be scrapped for $83,000. The sausage system will
save the firm $154,000 per year in pretax operating costs, and the system requires an
initial investment in net working capital of $32,500. If the tax rate is 23 percent and the
discount rate is 11 percent, what is the NPV of this project? (Do not round intermediate
calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

DBS Builders Pte Ltd purchased an asphalt paver eight years ago for $280,000. The estimated
operation and maintenance (O&M) costs for the next three years are $56,000, $68,000, and
$82,000, respectively. The asphalt paver can be sold for $65,000 now, for $57,000 next year, for
$45,000 two years from now, and for $28,000 three years from now.
4.
The latest asphalt paver in the market costs $290,000 and has an estimated service life of five
years. The salvage value is estimated to be $50,000 after five years. The expected annual O&M
costs will be $6,000 for the first year and increase by $3,800 per year thereafter.
If a before-tax minimum attractive rate of return (MARR) of 12% is estimated, what replacement
decision should DBS Builders make?

- An injection molding machine can be purchased and installed for $60,000. It is in the seven-year GDS property class and is expected to be kept in service for eight years. It is believed that $11,000 can be obtained when the machine is disposed of at the end of year eight. The net annual value added (i.e., revenues less expenses) that can be attributed to this machine is constant over eight years and amounts to $12,000.

The field manager just called and informed you the machine broke down and needs to be replaced ASAP. You have found a new compressor with a purchase price of $97,830 that you can have delivered to the job site that would meet the necessary service requirements. Assume the new asset would have a zero-salvage value at the end of year 6. The other option is to rent a compressor and eliminate the upfront cost. The rental price will be $2,000 per month for 12 months paid at the beginning of each month. The rental agent informed you the cost is anticipated to escalate 5% at the end of each year. Build a 6-year model accounting for the cost escalation after 12 monthly payments. Based on a Present Worth Cost analysis should you lease or purchase?

- One year ago, your company purchased a machine used in manufacturing for $120,000. You have learned that a new machine is available that offers many advantages and that you can purchase it for $160,000 today. The CCA rate applicable to both machines is 40%; neither machine will have any long-term salvage value. You expect that the new machine will produce earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) of $40,000 per year for the next ten years. The current machine is expected to produce EBITDA of $23,000 per year. All other expenses of the two machines are identical. The market value today of the current machine is $50,000.

The company has to invest in equipment which costs $2,500,000 and will be depreciated under the MACRS system for a 5-year asset class. It is expected to have a scrap value of $700,000 at the end of the project. Other than the equipment, the company needs to increase its cash and cash equivalents by $100,000, increase the level of inventory by $30,000, increase accounts receivable by $250,000 and increase account payable by $50,000 at the beginning of the project. Vigor Pharmaceuticals expect the project to have a life of five years. The company would have to pay for transportation and installation of the equipment which has an invoice price of $450,000.

Currently maintenance costs $2,700 a year, but the maintenance agreement expires at the end of two years, and thereafter, the annual maintenance charge will rise to $8,700. The machines have a current resale value of $8,700, but at the end of year 2, their value will have fallen to $4,200. By the end of year 6, the machines will be valueless and would be scrapped. Hayden is considering replacing the copiers with new machines,that would do essentially the same job. These machines cost $32,000, and the company can take out an eight-year maintenance contract for $1,000 a year. The machines would have no value by the end of the eight years and would be scrapped.
