Which project is a better choice at 15%? Use PW(15%) criterion and show your equation with numbers plugged into factors and your numerical result for each option.Two lathes are being considered in the manufacture of certain machine parts. Data is given below, all cost in peso: REQUIRED:a. Determine the number of machine parts/year that could be produced so that 2 lathes will be equally economical ifthe MARR is 18%. Use AWMb. If the number of parts is 10,000 units, which lathe will you recommend? Use RORc. If the number of parts is 10,000 units, which lathe will you recommend? Use PWMYour company is considering the introduction of a new product line. The initial investment required for this project is $500,000, and annual maintenance costs are anticipated to be $45,000. Annual operating costs will be directly proportional to the level of production at $8.50 per unit, and each unit of product can be sold for $65. If the MARR is 15% and the project has a life of 5 years, what is the minimum annual production level for which the project is economically viable? The equipment can be sold for $80,000 at the end of five years.
- An investment of P 250,000 can be made in a project that will produce a uniform annual revenue of P 192,800 for 5 years and then have a salvage value of 10% of the first cost. Operation and maintenance will be P 72,000 per year. Taxes and insurance will be 4% of the first cost per year. The company expects capital to earn 20% before income taxes. Show whether or not the investment is justified economically using1. ROR method2. payout methodA small manufacturing firm is considering the purchase of a new machine to modernize one of its current production lines. Two types of machines are available on the market. The lives of machine A and machine B are 4 years and 6 years, respectively, but the firm does not expect to need the service of either machine for more than 5 years. The machines have the following expected receipts and disbursements. Item Machine A (USD) Machine B(USD) First cost 325k 425k Service life 4 years 6 years Estimated Salvage Value 30k 50k Annual Opertaing & Maintenance Costs 40k 26k Oil Filter Change every other year 5k NONE Enginer Overhaul 10k every 3 years 14k every 4 years The firm always has another option: To lease a machine at 150k a year, fully maintained by the leasing company. After four years of use, the salvage value for machine B will remain at 50k. How many decision alternatives are there?…Your company is considering the introduction of a new product line. The initial investment required for this project is $500,000, and annual maintenance costs are anticipated to be $45,000. Annual operating costs will be directly proportional to the level of production at $8.50 per unit, and each unit of product can be sold for $65.

- A food processing plant consumed 450,000 kW of electric energy annually and pays an average of P2.00 per kWh. A study is being made to generate its own power to supply the plant the energy required, and that the power plant installed would cost P2,000,000. Annual operation and maintenance, P800,000. Other expenses P100,000 per year. Life of power plant is 15 years; salvage value at the end of life is P200,000; annual taxes and insurances, 4% of first cost; and rate of interest is 14%. What is the rate of return? Is the power plant justifiable?Suppose the reader has an old car, which is a gas guzzler. It is 10 years old and could sell for $400 cash to a local dealer. Assume that your MV in two years is zero. For the foreseeable future, annual maintenance expenses will average $800, and the car will get only 10 miles per gallon. Gasoline costs $1.50 per gallon, and the car is used an average of 15,000 miles per year. You now have the opportunity to replace your old car with a better one that costs $8,000. If I bought it, I would pay cash. Maintenance costs are expected to be negligible since it has a two-year warranty. This car averages 30 miles per gallon. Use the IRR method to determine which alternative should be selected. Use a two-year analysis period and assume that the new vehicle can sell for $5,000 at the end of year two. The MARR is 15% per year. Mention any other assumptions you make.A manufacturing company leases a building for $100,000 per year for its manufacturing facilities. In addition, the machinery in this building is being paid for in installments of $20,000 per year. Each unit of the product produced costs $15 in labor and $10 in materials. The product can be sold for $40. what are the following 1. How many units per year must be sold for the company to breakeven? 2. If 10,000 units per year are sold, what is the annual profit? 3. If the selling price is lowered to $35 per unit, how many units must be sold each year for the company to earn a profit of $60,000 per year? 4. If the labor cost is increased by 10% and materials cost is increased by 5%, the number of units to break even is closest to:
- Five machines were originally estimated to have useful life of twelve years. If sold now, each can be sold for P5,500. The annual operating costs for each are one operator at P22.00 a day, 300 days a year; a yearly energy utilization is 6,000 kw-hr at P0.50 per kw-hr; upkeep including spare parts are estimated P700 a year. Taxes and insurance are 7% of first cost. The machine has the same capacity as the fivbe machines and is now available at an estimated first cost including installation of P80, 000. Sinking fund method is used at 15% in computation od depreciation. Will you recommend replacementif money is worth 20% to a company?You purchased a CNC machine for $50,000. It is expected to have a useful life of 8 years and a salvage value of $4,000. At i = 12%, what is the annual capital cost of this machine?(Show the cashflow diagram if needed) A project is estimated to cost P100,000, lasts 8 years, and have a P10,000 salvage value. The annual gross income is expected to average P24,000 and annual expenses, excluding depreciation, will total P6,000. If capital is earning 10% before income taxes, determine if this is a desirable investment using PWM and FWM.
