The purchase of a motor for P6000 and a generator for P4000 will allow a company to produce its own energy. The configuration can be assembled for P500. The service will operate for 1600 hrs per year for 10yrs. The maintenance cost is P300 per year and the cost to operate is P0.85/hour for fuel and related costs. Using straight line depreciation, what is the annual cost(P) for the operation? There is P400 in salvage value for the system at the end of 10yrs.
A piece of machinery has a cost basis of $50,000 and salvage value will be $5000 after 9000 hours
of operation. With units of production depreciation, what is the allowable depreciation rate per
hour?
You are evaluating two different silicon wafer milling machines. The Techron I costs
$270,000, has a 3-year life, and has pretax operating costs of $73,000 per year. The
Techron II costs $470,000, has a 5-year life, and has pretax operating costs of $46,000
per year. For both milling machines, use straight-line depreciation to zero over the
project's life and assume a salvage value of $50,000. If your tax rate is 24 percent and
your discount rate is 10 percent, compute the EAC for both machines. (A negative
answer should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations
and round your answers to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

- Peachtree Construction Company, a highway contractor, is considering the purchase of a new trench excavator that costs 300000 and can dig a 3-foot-wide trench at the rate of 16 feet per hour. The contractor gets paid according to the usage of the equipment, 100 per hour. The expected average annual usage is 500 hours, and maintenance and operating costs will be 10 per hour. The contractor will depreciate the equipment by using a five-year MACRS, units-of-production method. At the end of five years, the excavator will be sold for 100000. Assuming the contractor’s marginal tax rate is 25% per year, determine the annual after-tax cash flow. In excel.arrow_forwardA factory equipment has an initial cost of P200,000,00.
