A machine that costs $8,000 is expected to operate for 10 years. The estimated salvage value at the end of 10 years is $0. The machine is expected to save the company $1,554 per year before taxes and depreciation. The company depreciates its assets on a straight-line basis and has a marginal tax rate of 35 percent. What is the internal rate of return on this investment?

At the beginning of each week, a machine is in one of four conditions: 1 = excellent; 2 = good; 3 = average; 4 = bad. The weekly revenue earned by a machine in state 1, 2, 3, or 4 is 100, 90, 50, or 10, respectively. After observing the condition of the machine at the beginning of the week, the company has the option, for a cost of 200, of instantaneously replacing the machine with an excellent machine. The quality of the machine deteriorates over time, as shown in the file P10 41.xlsx. Four maintenance policies are under consideration: Policy 1: Never replace a machine. Policy 2: Immediately replace a bad machine. Policy 3: Immediately replace a bad or average machine. Policy 4: Immediately replace a bad, average, or good machine. Simulate each of these policies for 50 weeks (using at least 250 iterations each) to determine the policy that maximizes expected weekly profit. Assume that the machine at the beginning of week 1 is excellent.
The calculation determines profitability or growth potential of an investment, expressed as a percentage, at the point where NPV equals zero
A lathe costs $56,000 and is expected to result in net cash inflows of $20,000 at the end of each year for three years and then have a market value of $10,000 at the end of the third year. The equipment could be leased for $22,000 a year, with the first payment due immediately. If the organization does not pay income taxes and its MARR is 10%, show whether the organization should lease or purchase the equipment.
Which of the following scenarios accurately reflects the meaning of the profit leverage effect? Group of answer choices With a 7.6% profit margin, decreasing your cost of goods sold (COGS) by $10,000 increases your pre-tax profits by $10,000, but increasing your sales by $10,000 only increases your pre-tax profits by $760. When operating with a 7.6% profit margin, your cost of goods sold will be $10,000 as long as your sales exceed $10,000. With a 7.6% profit margin, every additional $10,000 in sales increases your pre-tax profits by $10,000, while every $10,000 saved in purchasing increases your pre-tax profits by just $760. If your profit margin is 7.6%, every $10,000 saved in purchasing lowers your COGS sold by $760.
A piece of industrial machinery costs $48,000 to replace and has essentially no salvagevalue. Over the first five years of operation, maintenance costs amounted to $8,000. Ifthe maintenance cost rate is a linear function of time, what is the optimal age at whichto replace the machinery?
A Machine Costing P720,000 is estimated to have a book value of P40,545.73 when retired at the end of 10 years. Depreciation cost is computed using a constant percentage of the declining value. What is the annual rate of depreciation in %?
A project will cost $45,000 to develop.• When the system becomes operational after a one-year development period, operational costs willbe $9,000 during each year of the system’s five-year useful life.• The system will produce benefits of $30,000 in the first year of operation, and this figure willincrease by a compound 10% each year.What is the payback period for this project?
A company invests in upgrades to improve the gas mileage of its transportation fleet. These upgrades require an initial investment of $550,000 but save the company $130,000 per year. What is the discounted payback period of these improvements assuming a MARR of 7%, assuming interest is compounded at the end of the year?
Williams Auto has a machine that installs tires. The machine is now in need of repair. The machineoriginally cost $10,000 and the repair will cost $1,000, but the machine will then last two years.The labor cost of operating the machine is $0.50 per tire. Instead of repairing the old machine,Williams could buy a new machine at a cost of $5,000 that would also last two years; the labor costwould then be reduced to $0.25 per tire. Should Williams repair or replace the machine if it expectsto install 10,000 tires in the next two years?
A rural cooperative purchased a trencher at a cost of P230,500.00. It is estimated that the trencher will have a salvage value of P25,000.00 after digging 300,000 meters of irrigation canals. Determine the book value of the trencher after two years, if it was used to dig 50,000 meters on the first year and 75,000 meters on the second year. (Ans. P144,875.00)
A certain medical device will result in an estimated $15,000 reduction in hospital labor expenses during its first year of operation. Labor expenses (and thus savings) are projected to increase at a rate of 7% per year after the first year. Additional operating expenses for the device (maintenance, electric power, etc.) are $3,500 annually, and they increase by $250 per year there after (i.e., $3,750 in year two and so on). It is anticipated that the device will last for 10 years and will have no market value at that time. If theMARR is 10 % per year, how much can the hospital afford to pay for this device? Use an Excel spreadsheet in your solution.
An airline studied the data from their passenger records and noted that their customers turn up only about 95% of the time. A flight can accommodate 40 passengers and each seat costs 4,000 Php. Suppose each passenger books a ticket independently and the airline decides to sell 42 tickets for the flight. If more than 40 show up for the flight , then the extra passengers will be compensated PhP10,000 for rebooking and other expenses. 5. If Profit = Ticket sales-Compensation of Bumped passenger(s). What is the profit if 42 customers show up?
