A startup is considering buying a $295,000 piece of equipment. If it purchases the equipment, it will take a loan for the entire amount the interest on the loan is 2%, and the loan will be repaid in 5 equal end of year payments. The startup estimates that the equipment would generate an additional $170,000 of revenue each year. At the end of 5 years, the equipment would have a salvage value of $21,000. The tax rate is 24%. Assuming a planning horizon of 5 years, that the equipment is depreciated using MACRS (3-year property class), and that the medical practice uses an after-tax MARR of 9%, compute the PW and determine whether the startup should invest in the equipment.

Click here to access the MACRS-GDS percentages for 27.5-year residential rental property. Carry all interim calculations to 5 decimal places and then round your final answer to a whole number.

A new machine costs $899,090 and falls in a 29.50% CCA class. The machine will have zero value after 5 years of use but will save $417,680 annually in operating costs before taxes in those five years. Assume a tax rate of 34.17%. Using a required return of 15.11%, what is the equivalent annual cost (EAC) of the machine purchase, considering the annual cash flow, initial purchase, and CCA tax shield? Options $59,682 $61,252 $62,823 $64,393 $65,964
A harvester was purchased 4 years ago for $100,000. The current market value is $45,000, which will decline as follows over the next 5 years: $40,000, $33,500, $28,000, $24,000, and $17,000. The O & M costs are estimated to be $16,000 this year. These costs are expected to increase by $5000 per year starting year 2. MARR = 10% The foregone interest in year 4 is _______________.
1) A public agency is obliged to purchase a compressor with an economic life of 10 years or by leasing at the same time. The purchase price of the compressor is 7.500.000 TL, and if it is purchased, it will bear 250.000 TL annual electricity consumption expense, 300.000 TL standard maintenance repair expenses and an additional 600.000 TL maintenance expenses every two years. The scrap value of the compressor is 1.500.000 TL. If the compressor is not purchased and a lease is chosen, 2,500,000 rents per year, including all operating expenses, will be paid for 10 years. Since the annual nominal interest rate is 22%, evaluate the way in which the public agency should obtain the compressor according to the ANNUAL EXPENSE method.

Hagar Industrial Systems Company (HISC) is trying to decide between two different conveyor belt systems. System A costs $275,000, has a 4-year life, and requires $81,000 in pretax annual operating costs. System B costs $355,000, has a 6-year life, and requires $75,000 in pretax annual operating costs. Both systems are to be depreciated straight-line to zero over their lives and will have zero salvage value. Suppose the company always needs a conveyor belt system; when one wears out, it must be replaced. Assume the tax rate is 22 percent and the discount rate is 9 percent. Calculate the EAC for both conveyor belt systems. Please lay out initial input of the problems and your calculations of cash flow, NPV, and EAC in an excel format.
