Dupont is considering licensing a low liquid discharge (LLD) water treatment system from a small company that developed the process and owns the license. Dupont can purchase a 1-year option for $100,000 that will provide time to pilot test the LLD process or Dupont can acquire the license now at a cost of $1.8 million plus 25% of sales paid annually to the license owner. If they wait 1 year, the cost will increase to $1.9 million plus 30% of sales paid annually. If sales are estimated to be $1,000,000 per year over the 5-year license period, should Dupont purchase the license now or purchase the option now and possibly license it after the 1-year test period? Assume the MARR is 15% per year.
The annual fixed costs for a plant are Php 5,000,000, and the variable costs are Php 7,000,000 at 70% utilization of available capacity, with net sales of Php 14,000,000. What is the breakeven point in units of production if the selling price per unit is Php 200?
Can you compute the PW of alternative A, the AW of alternative B, the FW of Alternative C, and the PW of alternative D? Also for a MARR of 12%, rank the MEAs from most profitable to least profitable. HINT: You will need to perform additional calculations before answering this question.
Machine A costs Q10,000.00, with a recovery value of Q4,000.00 at the end of 5 years and has annual expenses ofoperation of Q5,000.00 during the first three years and Q6,000.00 during the last 2. Machine B costsQ14,000.00, with a recovery value of Q3,000.00 at the end of 10 years. Its operating expenses amount to Q3,500.00annually during the 5 years and Q4,500.00 during the last 5. The increases in operating expenses are theexpected for maintenance, repair and loss of efficiency due to use.

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)
In a cold storage plant, it is desired to determine whether to use insulation of two inches or three inches thick in insulating the walls of the cold storage warehouse.Heat absorbed through the walls without insulation would cost Php 96 per year per square meter. Two-inch insulation will cost Php 30.40 per square meter and will cut out 89% of the loss. Three-inch insulation will cut out 92% of the loss and will cost Php 65 per square meter. Using a life of 15 years for the insulation with no salvage value and a minimum attractive rate of return of 8%, what thickness of insulation should be used?
MARR is 8%
A new drill press is being considered to purchased. The estimated first cost is Php 200,000. The net annual income is Php 75,000 the first year, which decreases by Php 12,500 each year thereafter. After 5 years, the press can be sold for Php 25,000. What is the discounted payback period of this investment if marr is 10%.
Parker County Community College (PCCC) is trying to determine whether to use no insulation or to use insulation that is either 1 inch thick or 2 inches thick on its steam pipes. The heat loss from the pipes without insulation is expected to cost $1.50 per year per foot of pipe. A 1-inch thick insulated covering will eliminate 89% of the loss and will cost $0.40 per foot. A 2-inch thick insulated covering will eliminate 92% of the loss and will cost $0.85 per foot. PCCC Physical Plant Services estimates that there are 250,000 feet of steam pipe on campus. The PCCC Accounting Office requires a 10%/year return to justify capital expenditures. The insulation has a life expectancy of 10 years. Determine which insulation (if any) should be purchased using annual worth analysis.
Two electric motors (A and B) are being considered to drive a centrifugal pump. Each motor is capable of delivering 60 horsepower (output) to the pumping operation. It is expected that the motors will be in use 1,200 hours per year. If electricity costs $0.09 per kilowatt-hour and 1 hp = 0.746 kW, which motor should be selected if MARR = 7% per year? Refer to the data below.
