A scrap value of $ 1300 at the end of the 6th year of an agricultural machine purchased for $ 8000 It is expected to be sold. The operating costs of the machine are 1700 dollars in the first year and in other years. It is estimated that it will increase by 11% each year. At an annual interest rate of 8% Find the equivalent present value of the machine.

The Tinkan Company produces one-pound cans for the Canadian salmon industry. Each year the salmon spawn during a 24-hour period and must be canned immediately. Tinkan has the following agreement with the salmon industry. The company can deliver as many cans as it chooses. Then the salmon are caught. For each can by which Tinkan falls short of the salmon industrys needs, the company pays the industry a 2 penalty. Cans cost Tinkan 1 to produce and are sold by Tinkan for 2 per can. If any cans are left over, they are returned to Tinkan and the company reimburses the industry 2 for each extra can. These extra cans are put in storage for next year. Each year a can is held in storage, a carrying cost equal to 20% of the cans production cost is incurred. It is well known that the number of salmon harvested during a year is strongly related to the number of salmon harvested the previous year. In fact, using past data, Tinkan estimates that the harvest size in year t, Ht (measured in the number of cans required), is related to the harvest size in the previous year, Ht1, by the equation Ht = Ht1et where et is normally distributed with mean 1.02 and standard deviation 0.10. Tinkan plans to use the following production strategy. For some value of x, it produces enough cans at the beginning of year t to bring its inventory up to x+Ht, where Ht is the predicted harvest size in year t. Then it delivers these cans to the salmon industry. For example, if it uses x = 100,000, the predicted harvest size is 500,000 cans, and 80,000 cans are already in inventory, then Tinkan produces and delivers 520,000 cans. Given that the harvest size for the previous year was 550,000 cans, use simulation to help Tinkan develop a production strategy that maximizes its expected profit over the next 20 years. Assume that the company begins year 1 with an initial inventory of 300,000 cans.
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?
A machine can be purchased at t = 0 for $20,000. The estimated life is 5 years, with an estimated salvage value of zero at that time. The average annual operating and maintenance expenses are expected to be $5,500. If MARR = 10%, what must the average annual revenues be in order to be indifferent between (a) purchasing the machine or (b) doing nothing?
A hospital in a rural community operates the ambulance service. The hospital purchases a new ambulance for $150,000. They estimate a useful life of 10 years and a salvage value of $20,000. What is the annual charge for depreciation on this asset?
A Las Vegas, Nevada, manufacturer has the option to make or buy one of its component parts. The annual requirement is 20,000 units. A supplier is able to supply the parts for $10 per piece. The firm estimates that it costs $600 to prepare the contract with the supplier. To make the parts in-house, the firm must invest $50,000 in capital equipment, and the firm estimates that it costs $8 per piece to make the parts in-house. Assuming that cost is the only criterion, use breakeven analysis to determine whether the firm should make or buy the item. 1. What is the breakeven quantity? 2. Should the manufacturer Make or Buy? 3. What is the cost savings using your decision in number 2 (above)? Show the total cost for each scenario then the savings amount.
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.
a ABC company purchased a machine use to their business whose first cost is P 500,000 with an estimated life of 10 years. The estimated salvage value of the equipment at the end of its lifetime is P 25,000. Determine the depreciation charge and book value at the end of various years using the straight line method of depreciation.
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?
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 owns two adjacent builds, and in each building, there is one piece of equipment that operates separately from one another. Based on past history, equipment 1 is expected to break down 7 times a year, with a variance of 3, and costs $600 per breakdown. equipment 2 is expected to break down 9.2 times per year, with a variance of 2.1, and costing $245 per breakdown. 1. What is the company’s expected cost for equipment breakdowns? 2. What is the variance of the breakdown cost? Provide set up of work to compare notes.
A company currently has 200 units of a product on hand that it orders every two weeks when the salesperson visits the premises. Demand for the product averages 20 units per day with a standard deviation of 5 units. Lead time for the product to arrive is seven days. Management has a goal of a 95 percent probability of not stocking out for this product. The salesperson is due to come in late this afternoon when 180 units are left in stock ( assuming that 20 are sold today). How many units should be ordered?
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?
