Summary Introduction
To determine: The machine that should be recommended by TS person using the present value method.
Introduction:
Present value (PV):
It is the value that is in present form of money in contrast to some future amount. This is achieved when it is invested in compound interest.
The NPV is the measurement of profit that is calculated by subtracting the present values of

AMT, Inc., is considering the purchase of a digital camera for maintenance of design
specifications by feeding digital pictures directly into an engineering workstation where
computer-aided design files can be superimposed over the digital pictures. Differences between
the two images can be noted, and corrections, as appropriate, can then be made by design
engineers.
a) You have been asked by management to determine the PW of the EVA of this equipment,
assuming the following estimates: capital investment = $345,000; market value at end of year
six = $120,000; annual revenues = $120,000; annual expenses = $8,000; equipment life = 6
years; effective income tax rate = 50%; and after-tax MARR = 9% per year. MACRS
depreciation will be used with a five-year recovery period.
b) Compute the PW of the equipment's ATCFS. Is your answer in Part (a) the same as your
answer in Part (b)?
Economic service life calculations for an asset are shown below. If an interest rate of 10% per year was used in making the calculations, determine the values of P and S that were used in calculating the AW for year 3.

MARR is 10%/year. Based on a future worth analysis, which alternative (if any) should be implemented?arrow_forwardA manager is trying to decide whether to buy one machine ortwo. If only one machine is purchased and demand provesto be excessive, the second machine can be purchased later.Some sales would be lost, however, because the lead timefor delivery of this type of machine is 6 months. In addition,the cost per machine will be lower if both machines are pur-chased at the same time. The probability of low demand isestimated to be 0.30 and that of high demand to be 0.70. Theafter-tax NPV of the benefits from purchasing two machinestogether is $90,000 if demand is low and $170,000 if demandis high.If one machine is purchased and demand is low, the NPV is$120,000. If demand is high, the manager has three options:(1) doing nothing, which has an NPV of $120,000; (2) subcon-tracting, with an NPV of $140,000; and (3) buying the secondmachine, with an NPV of $130,000.a.

New Robotic Procedure (annuitisation focus) You have been asked to evaluate a new Robotic procedure for stroke rehabilitation which North- South Hospital is thinking of routinely providing. The Hospital first want to run a RCT to see if the cost is "worth it". The up-front cost of the actual robot is $300,000. There is an annual maintenance contract of $20,000 per annum. At the end of 5 years the robot will need to be replaced but will have a re-sale value of $20,000. 1a. What is the net present value of the robot? (Include the maintenance costs) and use a 5% discount rate. Hint – Use Drummond's first method (page 95 & 96 for simplicity). 1b. Now you need to work out the cost per procedure/person in order to undertake the economic evaluation. You have been provided with the following information: 1c. The site can provide 10 sessions per day per robot and 2 patients per session can be accommodated. What is the cost per session of the robot alone? What is the cost per session…arrow_forwardCox Electric makes electronic components and has estimated the following for a new design of one of its products. . Fixed cost-$21,000 • Material cost per unit $0.17 Labor cost per unit = $0.11 Revenue per unit $0.68 Note that fixed cost is incurred regardless of the amount produced. Per-unit material and labor cost together make up the variable cost per unit. Assuming that Cox Electric sells all that it produces, profit is calculated by subtracting the fixed cost and total variable cost from total revenue. Construct an appropriate spreadsheet model to find the profit based on a given production level and use the spreadsheet model to answer these questions. (a) Construct a one-way data table with production volume as the column input and profit as the output. Breakeven occurs when profit goes from a negative to a positive value; that is, breakeven is when total revenue the total cost, yielding a profit of zero. Vary production volume from 0 to 100,000 in increments of 10,000. In which…arrow_forward
