A man is considering putting up his own enterprise, where an investment of 800,000Php will be required and will take 15 years to recoup . He estimates his annual sales at 800,000Php along with the following operating costs. Materials ............................. 160,000Php/ yearLabor ............................. 280,000Php/ yearOverhead ............................. (40,000 + 10% of sales) Php/ yearSelling Expense............................. 60,000Php/ yearThe man will give up his regular job paying 216,000 Php per year and devote all his time to the operation of his business, this will result in decreasing his labor cost by 40,000Php per year, material cost by 28,000Php per year and overhead cost by 32,000 Php per year. If the man expects to earn at least 20% of his capital, should he invest? solve in the present worth cost method
Your firm has purchased an injection molding machine at a cost of $100,000. The machine's useful life is estimated to be eight years. Your accounting department has estimated the capital cost for this machine at about $25,455 per year. To expect a 15% return on your investment, how much additional annual revenue (after deducting any operating expenses) must be generated

The required service period is 8 years and comparable equipment will be leased for $3,000 per year payable at the end of each year for the remaining years of the required service period. 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.
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. 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.

"All growth models. You are evaluating the potential purchase of a small company that currently generates $42,500 in cash flow after taxes (D0 = $42,500). Based on a review of similar risk investment opportunities, you should earn a return rate of 18% from the proposed purchase. Since you're not very sure about future cash flows, you decide to calculate the value of the company assuming some possibilities for the cash flow growth rate. a) What is the value of the company if cash flows are expected to grow at an annual rate of 0% from now on? b) What is the value of the company if cash flows are expected to grow at a constant annual rate of 7% from now on? c) What is the value of the company if cash flows are expected to grow at an annual rate of 12% for the first 2 years and then, starting from year 3, the growth rate decreases to a constant annual rate of 7%?"
