A semiconductor chip maker purchased a small manufacturing process plant for
$2,131,020. The money coming in from that purchase was determined to be
$500,000 annually in before-tax cash flow during its 10-year use. The net cash flow
after tax is $300,000. If the chip maker wants to realize a 10% return on its
investment after tax, for how many more years should the plant operate? (hint,

You are considering a hydraulic excavator. This machine will have an estimated service life of 10 years, with a salvage value of 10% of the investment cost. Its expected savings from annual operating and maintenance costs are estimated to be SR 60,000. To expect a 14% rate of return on investment, what would be the maximum amount that you are willing to pay for the machine: (Choose the closest answer) Hint: solve for the capital cost (I) by equating recovery cost (CR) with operating and maintenance cost (OC). a) SR 297,594 b) SR 355,104 c) SR 250,417 d) SR 321,643 e) SR 356,218
PLEASE ANSWER AND SHOW SOLUTION
Machine cost = $15,000; Life = 8 years; salvage value = $3000. What minimum cash return would the investor demand annually from the operation of this machine if he desires interest annually at the rate of 8% in his investment and accumulates a capital replacement fund by investing annual deposits at 5%?

- You have installed a field of wind turbines with a total initial investment of 42,000,000TL, which includes the cost of all equipment purchases, installation, additional fixed costs, and working capital. The field has an expected lifetime of 20 years and is expected to generate 12,300 MWh/year of electricity under normal conditions. Annual operating, maintenance and labor costs are estimated to be 2,200,000 TL, all of which are tax deductable. Assume that your initial investment of 42 million TL includes 35,000,000 of fixed capital investment that will depreciate over 20 years according to the straight-line depreciation method.
