2.) A production manager wishes to determine which equipment he should recommend to management for purchasing. Equipment Stomp costs Php 75,000 which is expected to generate an annual cash flow of Php30,000 relevant to its purchase. However, equipment Kick costs Php90,000 and will generate a relevant annual cash flow of Php 27,000. Using the payback period criterion, which equipment should the manager recommend to management?

You purchased a stamping machine for $100,000 to produce a new line of products. The stamping machine will be used for five years, and the expected salvage value of the machine is 20% of the initial cost. The annual operating and maintenance costs amount to $30,000. If each part stamped generates $12 revenue, how many parts should be stamped each year just to break even? Assume that you require a 15% return on your investment.(a) 5,000(b)4,739(c) 4,488(d)2,238
A man is considering putting up his own enterprise, where an investment of 800,000 will be required and will take 15 years to recoup. He estimates his annual sales at 800,000 along with the following operating costs. Materials =160,000/ yearLabor = 280,000/ yearOverhead = (40,000 + 10% of sales)/ yearSelling Expense = 60,000/ 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 40,000 per year, material cost by 28,000 per year and overhead cost by 32,000 per year. If the man expects to earn at least 20% of his capital, should he invest? Solve using a) Rate of return method b) annual worth method c)present worth method d)equivalent uniform annual cost method

Armor Investment Company is considering the acquisition of a heavily depreciated building on 10 acres of land. It expects to rent the building as a storage facility and expects to collect cash flows equal to $100,000 next year. However, because depreciation is expected to increase, Armor expects cash flows to decline at a rate of 4 percent per year indefinitely. Armor expects to earn an IRR on investment return (r) at 13 percent. a. What is the value of this property? b. Assume that after 5 years the building could be demolished and the land could be redeveloped with a strip retail improvement. The latter would produce NOI of $200,000 per year, grow at 3 percent per year, and cost $1 million to build. Investors currently earn a 10 percent IRR on such investments. How would this affect your estimate of value in (a)?
2.4.1 Total Cost in Material SelectionIn many cases, economic selection among materials cannot be based solely on the costs ofmaterials. Frequently, a change in materials will affect the design and processing costs, and shipping costsmay also be altered.Care should be taken in making economic selections between materials to ensure that anydifferences in shipping costs, yields, or resulting scrap are taken into account. Commonly, alternativematerials do not come in the same stock sizes, such as sheet sizes and bar lengths. This may considerablyaffect the yield obtained from a given weight of material. Similarly, the resulting scrap may differ forvarious materials.In addition to deciding what material a product should be made of, there are often alternativemethods or machines that can be used to produce the product, which, in turn, can impact processingcosts. What could be the factors affecting the cost of materials that one should consider?
Ten years ago, Johnson Recovery purchased a wrecker for $330, 000 to move disabled 18-wheelers. He received a salvage value of $25, 000 after 10 years of use. During this 10-year period, his average annual revenue totaled $60, 000. a) Did he recover his investment at 12% per year return? In other words, does the Annual Equivalent Value of the benefits exceed the Capital Recovery cost at an interest rate of 12%? b) Suppose Johnson moves, on average, 250 disabled 18-wheelers each year. What is his average equivalent benefit/cost per vehicle moved? c) Now, incorporate annual operating and maintenance costs into your analysis. If the annual O&M cost was $5, 000 the first year and increased by a constant 10% per year, what is the annual equivalent worth at 12% per year?
