10- A new engineer is evaluating whether to use a higher-voltage transmission line. It will cost $250,000 more initially, but it will reduce transmission 5 losses. The optimistic, most likely, and pessimistic projections for annual savings are $25,000, $20,000, and $13,000. The interest rate is 6%, and the transmission line should have a life of 30 years. (a) What is the present worth for each estimated value? (b) Use the range of estimates to compute the mean annual savings, and then determine the present worth. (c) Does the answer to (b) match the present worth for the most likely value? Why or why not?

- 5. A new tablet computer from the R&D department will earn $20,000 in revenue in one year, which will then grow by 20% each subsequent year. Suppose an interest rate of 5% per year and a horizon of 20 years. What is the cutoff value for the initial investment that would make this project worthwhile? (i) Compute the answer using the formula (ii) Compute the answer using a spreadsheet (iii) If we change the interest rate, the cutoff value will change. Draw a plot of the cutoff value versus interest rate.24. You are evaluating a project that will cost $534,000, but is expected to produce cash flows of $128,000 per year for 10 years, with the first cash flow in one year. Your cost of capital is 11% and your company's preferred payback period is three years or less. a. What is the payback period of this project? b. Should you take the project if you want to increase the value of the company? a. What is the payback period of this project? The payback period is ____years. b. If you want to increase the value of the company you (will/will not) take the project since the NPV is (negative/positive) **round to two decimal places**5. Cooper Industries is considering a project that would require an initial investment of P235,000. The project would result in cost savings of P70,110 annually for the next five years.

- 21. Consider a project that costs $250 now and is expected to generate $98 in net revenues at the end of each of the next three years. If the MARR is 5%, the future worth of this project is __________. A. $18.24 B. $19.54 C. $22.33 D. $18.29 23. Machine X has an initial cost of $12,000 and annual maintenance of $700 per year. It has a useful life of four years and no salvage value at the end of that time. Machine Y costs $22,000 initially and has no maintenance costs during the first year. Maintenance is $200 at the end of the second year and increases by $200 per year thereafter. Machine Y has a useful life of eight years and an anticipated salvage value of $5,000 at the end of its useful life. If the MARR is 6%, what is the approximate Net Present Worth (NPW) of machine X? A. -$28,563 B. -$25,852 C. -$32,085 D. -$22,3185. Columbia Sheetmetal is thinking about purchasing a new machine that will have an expected life of 8 years. The machine will cost $ 33,000 and save $ 4,400 annually in cash operation costs. Of the $ 33,000 initial cost, $ 22,000 is equipment and $ 11,000 is invested working capital. What would be the internal rate of return for the new machine?12. A company is planning to make a new investment worth 1200 USD, with projected income from year 2 until year 7 = 400 USD. Right after that, the gradient will lower as much as 15 USD, while the operating cost spent starting from year 1 will be 50 USD and the gradient will go up by 10 USD. Investment period is 12 years with a salvage of 500 USD, and also there will be a lump sum at year 6 as much as 300 USD. In year 7 there will be maintenance with a cost of 100 USD. Evaluate the investment plan with IRR method if MARR = 15%
- 16) New-Project Analysis The Campbell Company is considering adding a robotic paint sprayer to its production line. The sprayer's base price is $810,000, and it would cost another $19,500 to install it. The machine falls into the MACRS 3-year class, and it would be sold after 3 years for $471,000. The MACRS rates for the first three years are 0.3333, 0.4445, and 0.1481. The machine would require an increase in net working capital (inventory) of $16,500. The sprayer would not change revenues, but it is expected to save the firm $314,000 per year in before-tax operating costs, mainly labor. Campbell's marginal tax rate is 25%. (Ignore the half-year convention for the straight-line method.) Cash outflows, if any, should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to the nearest dollar. What is the Year-0 net cash flow? ________$ What are the net operating cash flows in Years 1, 2, and 3? Year 1: $ Year 2: $ Year 3: $…3. Schultz Company is considering purchasing a machine that would cost $478,800 and have a useful life of 5 years. The machine would reduce cash operating costs by $114,000 per year. The machine would have a salvage value of $6,200. Schultz Company prefers a payback period of 3.5 years or less.Required: a. Compute the payback period for the machine. What does this mean? b. Compute the return on average investment (ROI)A new engineer is evaluating whether to use a higher-voltage transmission line. It will cost $250,000 more initially, but it will reduce transmission losses. The optimistic, most likely, and pessimistic projections for annual savings are $25,000, $20,000, and $13,000. The interest rate is 6%, and the transmission line should have a life of 30 years. (a) What is the present worth for each estimated value? (b) Use the range of estimates to compute the mean annual savings, and then determine the present worth.(c) Does the answer to (b) match the present worth for the most likely value? Why or why not?
- 6. The production manager of a manufacturing plant figured that by installing four 15- KVAR power condensers the power factor will increase by 20%, resulting in a monthly power savings of P7700.00 Each unit costs P75 000.00 with a 10% salvage value after 10 years. The overall cost of installation is P14 000.00, and the estimated annual cost of maintenance and taxes is P11 800.00. If a 9% sinking fund formula is applied for depreciation, determine the payback period for the condensers. (Ans. 5 years)222b. Suppose you were considering purchasing a $6300 machine today that would generate additional net profit of $2500 booked at the end of each year. Assuming you need a 10 percent annual return to justify the investment, would the investment be worth doing if you had only three years of payouts? Would your answer change if you only needed a 9 percent annual return on your investment ? Why or why not? You must use present value to demonstrate your answer, and show your work.
