A machine cost $450,000 to purchase. Fuel, oil, grease, and minor maintenance are estimated to cost $55.00 per operating hour. A set of tires cost $18,000 to replace, and their estimated life is 3,100 use hours. A $27,000 major repair will probably be required after 6,200 hr of use. The machine is expected to last for 9,300 hr, after which it will be sold at a price (salvage value) equal to 20% of the original purchase price. A final set of new tires will not be purchased before the sale. How much should the owner of the machine charge per hour of use, if it is expected that the machine will operate 3,100 hr per year? The company’s cost of capital (interest) rate is 8.3%.

The first cost of an electric rebar bender is P324,000 and a salvage value of P50,000 at the end of its life for 4 years. Money is worth 6% annually. If there is no salvage value and the annual maintenance cost is P18,000, find the capitalized cost of perpetual service. Answers: A. P1,858,394
NOTE: SHOW YOUR SOLUTIONS PROPERLY. The book value of a machine after 4 years is P 50,000. Determine its fixed cost if its salvage value after 6 years service life is P 5,000. Use straight line method. Ans. P 140,000
Engineer Layla purchased a dump truck worth P850,000. She added P50,000for the delivery and other expenses. The said equipment is expected to be useful for 10 years. At the end of its life, it will cost x% of the first cost. Using SLM, its book value at year 5 is P517,500. What is the value of x?
A new chemical remediation tank is needed. Current technology tanks, which cost $150,000, must be drained and treated every 2 years at a cost of $30,000; the tanks will last 10 years, and each will have a salvage value of 5% of first cost. A tank with new technology has just come on the market. There are no periodic maintenance costs, and a tank will last 20 years. If the new tanks cost $325,000, what minimum salvage value, as a percentage of first cost, would be required for this technology to be a better option? Use a 12% interest rate. (a) 10% (b) 36% (c) 57% (d) 72%?

New tires are purchased for service trucks. Each service truck is given 4 tiresand a spare. If there are 65 new tires, how many trucks will receive new tires?
A currently owned shredder for use in a refuse-powered electrical generating plant has a present net realizable value of $210,000 and isexpected to have a market value of $10,000 after 4 years. Operating andmaintenance disbursements are $100,000 per year. An equivalent shredder can be leased for $200 per day plus $80 per hour of actual use as determined by an hour meter, with both components assumed to be paid at the end of the year. Actual use is expected to be 1,500 hours and 250 days per year. Using a 4-year planning horizon and a MARR of 15%, determine the preferred alternative using the annual cost criterion. Solve, a. Consider only the above information and use the cash flow approach (insider’s viewpoint approach). b. Consider the additional information that the annual cost of operating without a shredder is $190,000 and use the cash flow approach (insider’s viewpoint approach).
the first cost of an electric rebar bender is 341,000 pesos and a salvage value of 45000 pesos at the end of its life for 4 years. money is worth 6.3%annually. if there is no salvage value and the annual maintenance cost is 15000 pesos, find the annual cost of perpetual service.
An Engineering Firm needs additional equipment for the completion of its project. The first alternative is to purchase a brand new equipment worth P1,500,000 with P400,000 salvage value at the end of its 15-year life. Daily operating cost using this equipment is P500. Second alternative is to rent another equipment for P1,500 per day. What must be the minimum number of days per year the equipment will be used so that purchasing this new equipment is more economical than renting another if interest rate is 18%.
