A 5 year-old tooling kit that was purchased new for $9000 has a current market value of $4000 and expected 0&M costs of $3000, increasing by $1200 per year. Future market values are expected to decline by 25% annually (going forward). The kit can be used for another 3 years at most. The optimal replacement kit costs $8000 and has 0&M costs starting at $2500 per year, increasing by $2000 per year. Salvage value for the new kit at the end of the first year is $4000 and falls by $1000 per year thereafter (until zero). The new model kit will be needed indefinitely. Assume a unique minimum AECN(15%) for both kits (both the current and replacement kit). The MARR is 15%. 1) What is the AECC- ? a) Less than 6925.70 b) 6925.70-6945.70 c) 6945.70-6965.70 d) 6965.70-6985.70 e) More than 6985.70

A packaging company is planning to replace its existing material handling system (MHS). The MHS that it now owns cost $135000 when purchased 7 years ago and was estimated to have 12 year useful life with a $3000 salvage value at the end of that time. Currently, the MHS has a net market value of $40000 and if it is not sold, it is expected to have operating costs of $24000 per year. A new MHS can be purchase for $85000. This new system is expected to have operating costs of $17000, an economic life of 7 years, and a salvage value of $10000 at the end of that time. For depreciation purposes, assume that the straight line method has been used, and the current MHS and new MHS are 10 year and 5 year recovery property, respectively. If the effective tax rate is 50%, which alternative should be selected in the case of a before tax MARR of 20% and an after tax MARR of 10%
2. One year ago, a machine was purchased at a cost of $2,000, to be used for 6 years.However, the machine has failed to perform properly and has a cost of $500 per year forrepairs, adjustments, and shutdowns. A new machine is available to accomplish thefunctions desired and has an initial cost of $3,500. Its maintenance costs are expected tobe $50 per year during its service of 5 years. The approximate market value of the presentmachine has been roughly $1,200. If the operating cost (other than maintenance) for bothmachines are equal, show whether it is economical to purchase the new machine. Performa before-tax study, using an interest rate of 12% and assume that the salvage values will benegligible.

A 2-year-old injection molding machine was expected to be kept in service for its projected life of 5 years, but a new challenger promises to be more efficient and have lower operating costs. You have been asked to determine if it would be economically attractive to replace the defender now or keep it for 3 more years as originally planned. The defender had a first cost of $300,000, but its market value now is only $100,000. It has chargeable expenses of $120,000 per year and no expected salvage value. To simplify calculations for this problem only, assume that SL depreciation was charged at $60,000 per year, and that it will continue at that rate for the next 3 years. The challenger will cost $420,000, have a 3-year life, and no salvage value. It will have chargeable expenses of $30,000 per year, and it will be depreciated at $140,000 per year (again, using SL depreciation for simplicity for this problem only). Assume a Te of 35%, and an aftertax MARR of 15% per year. Determine (a)…
Nuclear safety devices installed several years ago have been depreciated from a first cost of $200,000 to zero using the Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System (MACRS). The devices can be sold on the used equipment market for an estimated $15,000, or they can be retained in service for 5 more years with a $9000 upgrade now and an operating expenses (OE) of $6000 per year. The upgrade investment will be depreciated over 3 years with no salvage value. The challenger is a replacement with newer technology at a first cost of $40,000, n = 5 years, and S = 0. The new units will have operating expenses of $7000 per year. Use a 5-year study period, an effective tax rate of 41%, an after-tax minimum acceptable rate of return (MARR) of 18% per year, and an assumption of classical straight line depreciation (no half-year convention) to perform an after-tax AW-based replacement study. The annual worth of the defender is determined to be $ . The annual worth of the challenger is…
8 years ago a company installed a robot that today has a market value of $ 60,000 and each year it drops $ 2000. For example, at the end of the first year the market value will be $ 58,000 and so it continues to decline. Maintenance costs for the next 4 years are estimated at $ 3000 this year and increasing 10% each year. Determine the marginal cost of extending the service for one year, for the next 4 years if the MARR is 12%. Fill in the blanks with the results. Calculate: a) The loss of market value in year 1 is $ b) Loss in interest in year 1 $ c) The Marginal Cost in year 1 is Show all the procedure for your answer thank you
A commercial 3D printer is purchased for $300,000. The salvage value of the printer decreases by 40% each year that it is held. The cost to operate and maintain the machine the first year it is used is $12,500; these costs increase by $5,000 each year. What is the optimal replacement interval (in years) and minimum EUAC for the printer, assuming a MARR of 12% is used?
Three years ago, Witt Gas Controls purchased equipment for $80,000 that was expected to have a useful life of 5 years with a $9000 salvage value. Increased demand necessitated an upgrade costing $30,000 one year ago. Technology changes now require that the equipment be upgraded again for another $25,000 so that it can be used for 3 more years. Its annual operating cost will be $47,000, and it will have a $22,000 salvage after 3 years. Alternatively, it can be replaced with new equipment that will cost $68,000 with operating costs of $35,000 per year and a salvage value of $21,000 after 3 years. If replaced now, the existing equipment will be sold for $9000. Calculate the annual worth of the defender at an interest rate of 10% per year.

A machine purchased a year ago for $85,000 costs more to operate than anticipated. At the time of the purchase, it was expected to be used for 10 years with annual maintenance costs of $22,000 and a salvage value of $10,000. However, last year, it incurred a cost $38,000, which is expected to escalate to $39,300 this year and increase by $1,300 each year thereafter. The market value is now estimated to be $81,000–$10,000k, where k is the number of years since the machine was purchased. It is now estimated that the machine will be useful for a maximum of 6 more years. A replacement study is to be performed. Determine the values of P, n, AOC for year 6 and S of this defender. The value of P is $ _______ . The value of n is_______ years. The AOC for year 6 is______ . The value of S is $______ .
In a replacement study, the correct value for the first cost of the challenger is:a. the cost when it is purchased.b. the first cost minus the trade-in value of the defender.c. its first cost plus the trade-in value of the defender.d. the book value of the defender.
