A construction firm is considering purchasing equipment that will reduce cost by P40,000. The equipment costs P300,000 and has a salvage value of P50,000 and a life of 7 years. The annual maintenance cost is P6,000. While not used by the firm, the equipment can be rented to others to generate an income of P10,000 per year. If the money can be invested for 8% return, is the firm justified in buying the equipment? (USE ROR Method) a. None of the choices b .I do not care c. No d. Yes
Consider a hybrid vehicle with a sticker price of $31,500. These vehicles will average 30 miles per gallon of gasoline. $1,500 tax credit for hybrid vehicles Effectively reduce the sticker price to $30,000. A gasoline-only vehicle that Comparablely equipped will cost $28,000 and will average 25 miles per gallon of gasoline. Assuming an interest rate of 3% per year and a five-year study period, find the cost gasoline breakeven ($/gal)
NEV, Inc. wants to evaluate two new methods that will improve their productivity. Both alternatives have 22 years of service life and NEV uses MARR of 13%. Alternative A has a first cost of $3,315,000 Maintenance cost will start end of year three due to an incentive in the contract with the manufacture that will give free maintenance in the first 2 years. The maintenance cost at end of year three is $42,000 and will increase by $2,700 starting end of year four and continue to increase with the same value thereafter till the end of its service life. A three-times major repair will occur. The first one is at end of year 8 that will cost $56,000, the second one is at end of year 13 and will cost $32,000 and the third and last major repair is $27,500 at end of year 19. The expected revenues from this alternative are $572,000 per year starting end of year 1 and this option will have a salvage value of $840,000 at the end of its service life. Alternative B has a first cost of $2,570,000 and…
The initial cost of a pickup truck is $12,748 and will have a salvage value of $4,360 after five years. Maintenance is estimated to be a uniform gradient amount of $121 per year, with zero dollar for first year maintenance. The operation cost is estimated to be $0.3 per mile for 351 miles per month. If the interest rate is 12%, what is the annual equivalent cost (AEC) for the truck?
NEED HELP ASAP! THANK YOU!! LEIS company is planning to borrow P10.5M for a company expansion and is not sure what the interest rate will be when it applies for the loan. The rate could be as low as 10% per year or as high as 12% per year for a 5-year loan. LEIS company will only move forward with the project if the annual worth of the expansion is below P5.7M. The maintenance and operation cost is P3.1M per year. The salvage value could be P2M if the interest rate is 10% or P2.5M if it is 12% per year. Use annual worth method to determine the value of each option ANSWER for ALTERNATIVE A: Blank 1 ANSWER for ALTERNATIVE B: Blank 2
Determine the FW of the following engineering project when the MARR is 12% per year. Is the project acceptable?
The investment of design 2 is supposed to be $140600. The MARR to be used in the problem is 20%.
Three independent project R, S, & T. If the PW of these projects at MARR is as follows: PWS= $80,000, PWR = -$50,000, PWT = $70,000. Write down the bundles that you can be immediately excluded from the analysis.
An investment of RM50,000 can be made in a project that will produce a uniform annual revenue of RM3,170 for seven years and then have a market (salvage) value of RM8,100. Expenses will be RM1,100 in second year and saving RM2,100 in third year. Second investment of RM4, 000 in fifth years was made to increase the project operation. The company is willing to accept any project that will earn 10% per year or more before incomes taxes, on all invested capital. Show whether this is desirable investment by using the Present Worth method. Draw the cashflow diagram.
In a cold storage plant, it is desired to determine whether to use insulation two inches thick or three inches thick in insulating the walls of the cold storage ware house. Heat absorb through the walls without insulation would cost P96.00 per year per square meter. A two-inch insulation will cost P30.40 per square meter and will cut out 89% of the loss. A three-inch insulation will cut out 92% of the loss and will cost P65.00 per square meter. Using a life 15 years for the insulation with no salvage value and a minimum attractive return of 8%, what thickness of insulation should be used?
