1. An investment of P270, 000 can be made in a project that will produce a uniform annual revenue of P185, 400 for 5 years and then have a salvage value of 10% of the investment. Out-of-pocket costs for operation and maintenance will be P81, 000 per year. Taxes and insurance will be 4% of the first cost per year. The company expects capital to earn not less than 25% before income taxes. Is this a desirable investment? What is the payback period of the investment? a. PW Method

6 The economic analysis of a project foresees annual investments equal to R$300,000,000.00, over three years of construction, followed by a very long period, which can be considered infinite, with an annual revenue of R$300,000,000.00 and annual operating costs (including taxes) of BRL 120,000,000.00. Obtain the net present value (NPV) of this project, in the year of the first investment, considering the minimum rate of attractiveness equal to 12% per year.
A water supply system is being considered for a small district. The system requires an initial investment of P8M, will operate for 15 years and will be sold for P0.4M after that time. Annual operations and maintenance costs is expected to be P48 000.00 for the first year and is expected to increase by P12 000.00 each year thereafter. Determine the annual cost of this project using i= 11%. (Ans. - P1,210,425.43)-PLEASE USE AN ACTUAL FORMULA NOT EXCEL
2. It is estimated that depositing 20.000 pesos every end of the 6 months in a sinking fund that gives an interest rate of 14% compounded semi-annually, will provide the money that could replace a machine at the end of 10 years. If the machine has no salvage value, what is the cost of replacement. a. $19,909.85 b. 729.546.06 c. 889.754.30 d. 746.852.58
How do you calculate the PVIFA for the equation: EAC = NPV / Annutiy factor How would you use the financial calculator to solve for EAC and PVIFA? You are evaluating two different silicon wafer milling machines. The Techron I costs $270,000, has a three-year life, and has pre-tax operating costs of $69,000 per year. The Techron II costs $475,000, has a five-year life, and has pre-tax operating costs of $36,000 per year. Both milling machines are in Class 8 (CCA rate of 20 percent per year). Assume a salvage value of $45,000. If your tax rate is 35 percent and your discount rate is 10 percent, compute the EAC for both machines. Which do you prefer? Why?
A man is considering putting up his own enterprise, where an investment of 800,000Php will be required and will take 15 years to recoup . He estimates his annual sales at 800,000Php along with the following operating costs.

(40,000 + 10% of sales) Php/ yearSelling Expense............................. 60,000Php/ yearThe man will give up his regular job paying 216,000 Php per year and devote all his time to the operation of his business, this will result in decreasing his labor cost by 40,000Php per year, material cost by 28,000Php per year and overhead cost by 32,000 Php per year. If the man expects to earn at least 20% of his capital, should he invest? solve in the present worth cost method
A process plant making 5000kg /day of a product selling for $1.75 per kg has annual directproduction costs of $2 million at 100 percent capacity and other fixed costs of $700,000. What isthe fixed charge per kg at the break-even point? If the selling price of the product is increased by10 percent, what is the dollar increase in net profit at full capacity if the income tax rate is 35percent of gross earnings?
A food processing plant consumed 600,000 kW of electric energy annually and pays an average ofP2.00 per kWh. A study is being made to generate its own power to supply the plant the energy required, and that the power plant installed would cost P2,000,000. Annual operation andmaintenance,P800,000. Other expenses P100,000 per year. Life of power plant is 15 years; salvage value at the end of life is P200,000 annual taxes and insurances, 6% of first cost; and rate of interest is 15%. Using the sinking fund method for depreciation, determine if the power plant is justifiable. Compute using the present worth, annual worth, and rate of return.

A6 A special purpose machine is to be acquired by paying a P15,000 initial cash payment plus a debt assumption of P135,000. The machine will generate additional net annual cash inflow of P40,000 for the firm throughout the 10 years of useful life of the asset. At the end of its life, a salvage value of 10% of its initial cost will be realized. Assuming that the MARR is 13.2% per annum, is the project justified using the PW method?
Your firm has discovered a cheap and efficient technology of turning used plasticbottles and bags into various products. You limit your attention to the following twoproduction opportunities: you can produce plastic utensils or helmets forBoilermakers' fans. In the first case your estimated annual revenue is K25,000, whilethe production will cost you K8,000. However, in your second option, you expect tosell 2000 helmets every year at K10 each, and the average total cost of every helmetwill be K2.a. Which production opportunity will you choose and why? b. If you do so, what will be your economic profit if your answer is lower explain technically why it is so?
urgent A firm can purchase a centrifugal separator (5-year MACRS property) for $17,000. The estimated salvage value is $4,000 after a useful life of six years. Operating and maintenance (O&M) costs for the first year are expected to be$1,700. These O&M costs are projected to increase by $500 per year each year thereafter. The income tax rate is 25% and the MARR is 13% after taxes. What must the uniform annual benefits be for the purchase of the centrifugal separator to be economical on an after-tax basis? The uniform annual benefits should be........... (Round to the nearest dollar.)
