A metal plating company is considering four different methods for recovering by-product heavy metals from a manufacturing site’s liquid waste. The investment costs and annual net incomes associated with each method have been estimated. All methods have an 8-year life; the MARR is 11% per year; and an AW-based ROR analysis is required. (a) If the methods are independent (because they can be implemented at different plants), which ones are acceptable? (b) If the methods are mutually exclusive, determine which one should be selected. Method First Cost, $ Salvage Value, $ Annual Net Income, $/Year A −30,000 +1,000 +4,000 B −36,000 +2,000 +5,000 C −41,000 +500 +8,000 D −53,000 −2000 +10,500
The equivalent annual worth of the process currently used in manufacturing motion controllers is AW = $-62,000 per year. A replacement process is under consideration that will have a first cost of $64,000 and an operating cost of $38,000 per year for the next 3 years. Three different engineers have given their opinion about what the salvage value of the new process will be 3 years from now as follows: $10,000, $13,000, and $18,000. Is the decision to replace the process sensitive to the salvage value estimates at the company’s MARR of 15% per year?
Falk Corporation is considering two types of manufacturing systems to produce its shaft couplings over six years: (1) a cellular manufacturing system (CMS) and (2) a flexible manufacturing system (FMS). The average number of pieces to be produced on either system would be 544,000 per year. Operating costs, initial investment, and salvage value for each alternative are estimated as follows: The firm's MARR is 15%. Which alternative would be a better choice based on the IRR criterion?
A process control manager is considering two robots to improve materials handling capacity in the production of rigid shaft couplings that mate dissimilar drive components. Robot X has a first cost of $84,000, an annual M&O cost of $31,000, a $40,000 salvage value, and will improve revenues by $96,000 per year. Robot Y has a first cost of $146,000, an annual M&O cost of $28,000, a $47,000 salvage value, and will increase revenues by $119,000 per year. The company’s MARR is 15% per year and it uses a 3-year study period for economic evaluations. Which one should the manager select (a) on the basis of ROR values, and (b) on the basis of the incremental ROR value? (c) Which is the correct selection basis? Perform the analysis by hand or spreadsheet, as instructed.
A civil engineer involved in construction management must decide between two ways to pump concrete up to the top floors of a seven-story office building under construction. Plan 1 requires the purchase of equipment for $6000 which costs between $0.40 and $0.75 per metric ton to operate, with a most likely cost of $0.50 per metric ton. The asset is able to pump 100 metric tons per day. If purchased, the asset will last for 5 years, have no salvage value, and be used 50 days per year. Plan 2 is an equipment-leasing option and is expected to cost the company $2500 per year for equipment with a low cost estimate of $1800 and a high estimateof $3200 per year. In addition, an extra $5 per hour labor cost will be incurred for operating the leased equipment each 8-hour day. Use i = 12% per year. (a) Which plan should the engineer recommend on the basis of the most likely estimates of costs? (b) Will the decision above change if the pessimistic estimates are used?
A mechanical engineer at Anode Metals is considering five equivalent projects, some of which have different life expectations. Salvage value is nil for all alternatives. Assuming that the company’s MARR is 13% per year, determine which should be selected (a) if they are independent, and (b) if they are mutually exclusive. (c) Explain why your selection in part (b) is correct. First Cost, $ Net Annual Income, $/Year Life, Years A −20,000 +5,500 4 B −10,000 +2,000 6 C −15,000 3,800 6 D −60,000 +11,000 12 E −80,000 +9,000 12
The production manager on the Ofon Phase 2 offshore platform operated by Total S.A. must purchase specialized environmental equipment or an equivalent service. The first cost is $250,000 with an AOC of $66,000. The manager has let it be known that he does not care about the salvage value because he thinks it will make no difference in the decision-making process. His supervisor estimates the salvage might be as high as $100,000 or as low as $10,000 in 3 years, at which time the equipment will be unnecessary. Alternatively, a subcontractor can provide the service for $165,000 per year. The total offshore project MARR is 13% per year. Determine if the decision to buy the equipment is sensitive to the salvage value. The annual worth of high salvage value is $______________ 142,525 incorrect.. The annual worth of low salvage value is $_______________ 168,940 incorrect.. Decision is sensitive…
A manufacturing plant produces 5,000 units per year. The capital investment, annual expenses, salvage value, and reject rate are as follows: Capital investment $ 100,000 Useful life (years) 7 Annual expenses $ 15,000 Salvage value $ 7000 Reject rate 8.5% Non-defective units can be sold for $5 per unit and defective units can be sold for $1 per unit. The MARR = 9%. Use at least 3 decimal places for each factor. A- Find the PW for this project? B- Determine how sensitive the decision to invest in this project to the estimates of initial investment and salvage value?
7. During 2020, TULIP Corporation incurred costs to develop and produce a routine, low-risk computer software product as follows: Packaging product (500 units) -₱90,000; Duplication of computer software and training materials from product masters (1,000 units) -₱250,000; Completion of detailed program design -₱130,000; Cost of producing product masters for training materials -₱150,000; Other testing costs after the establishment of technological feasibility -₱200,000; Costs incurred for coding and testing to establish technological feasibility -₱100,000; Other coding costs after the establishment of technological feasibility -₱240,000. In TULIP's December 31, 2020 statement of financial position, what amount should be capitalized as software cost subject to amortization? * a. ₱ 540,000 b. ₱ 570,000 c. ₱ 690,000 d. ₱ 590,000
Assume that a company is choosing between two alternatives—keep an existing machine or replace it with a machine. The costs associated with the two alternatives are summarized as follows: Existing Machine New Machine Purchase cost (new) $ 15,000 $ 26,000 Remaining book value $ 6,000 Overhaul needed now $ 5,000 Annual cash operating costs $ 11,500 $ 7,000 Salvage value (now) $ 2,000 Salvage value (eight years from now) $ 1,000 $ 6,000 If the company overhauls its existing machine, it will be usable for eight more years. If it buys the new machine, it will be used for eight years. Based on a net present value analysis with a discount rate of 14%, what is the financial advantage (disadvantage) of replacing the existing machine with a new machine?
Five different methods can be used for recovering by-product heavy metals from a manufacturing site's liquid waste. The investment costs and incomes associated with each method are shown. Assuming all methods have a 10-year life and the company's MARR is 10% per year, determine which one method should be selected using ROR evaluation. method 1 method 2 method 3 method 4 method 5 first cost -15000 -18000 -25000 -35000 -52000 annual income 4000 5000 7000 9000 12000
A company with a Can CORN of 15% must install one of two production machines that provide equivalent service (same benefits). Machine X has an initial cost of $40,000 with an annual operating and maintenance (O&M) cost of $30,000 and a salvage value of $5,000 after its 5-year life. Machine Y has an initial cost of $60,000 with an annual O&M cost of $20,000 and a salvage value of $12,000 after its 10-year life. Which choice below gives the correct PW (costs) equation for machine X over the comparative analysis period? PW(cost) = $40k + $40k(P/F,15%,5) + $30k(P/A,15%,10) - $5k(P/F,15%,5) - $5k(P/F,15%,10) PW(cost) = $40k + $30k(P/A,15%,5) - $5k(P/F,15%,5) PW(cost) = $40k + $40k(P/F,15%,5) - $5k(P/F,15%,5) - $5k(P/F,15%,10) PW(cost) = $40k +$40k(P/F,15%,5) + $30k(P/A,15%,10) - $5k(P/F,15%,5)
