A firm is considering which of twodevices to install to reduce costs. Both devices have useful lives of 5 years and no salvage value. Device A costs $10,000 and can be expected to result in $3000 savings annually. Device B costs $13,500 and will provide cost savings of $3000 the first year but will increase $500 annually, making the second-year savings $3500, the third-year savings $4000, and so forth. For a 7% MARR, which device should the firm purchase?
Methods of Economy Studies 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. Present Worth (PW) method2. Future Worth (FW) method3. Annual Worth (AW) method4. Rate of Return (ROR) method5. Payback (Payout) method

Ronald McDonald decides to install a fuel storage system for his farm that will save him anestimated 6.5 cents/gallon on his fuel cost. He uses an estimated 20,000 gallons/year on his farm.Initial cost of the system is $10,000 and the annual maintenance the first year is $25 and increasesby $25 each year thereafter. After a period of 10 years the estimated salvage is $3,000. If moneyis worth 12%, is it a wise investment?
1. The Present Worth Method A project your firm is considering for implementation has these estimated costs and revenues: an investment cost of $50,000; maintenance costs that start at $5,000 at the end of year (EOY) 1 and increase by $1,000 for each of the next 4 years, and then remain constant for the following 5 years; savings of $20,000 per year (EOY 1–10); and finally a resale value of $35,000 at the EOY 10. If the project has a 10-year life and the firm’s MARR is 10% per year, what is the present worth of the project? Is it a sound investment opportunity?

A small business earns a baseline profit of $500 a year for 5 years. In addition, its profits increase by $500 each year after Year 1. In Years 4 and 5 the business has some unplanned gains and losses. After the cash flow schedule shown below and at the end of Year 5, the future value of the small business is $2200. Determine the unknown Year 4 cash flow, "CF4", if i = 10%. Year Cash Flow 0 0 1 $500 2 $1000 3 $1500 4 "CF4" 5 -$7500 Group of answer choices $5,291 $7110 $6700 $3196 $5822
A project is being considered that has a first cost of $12,500, creates $5000 in annual cost savings, requires $3000 in annual operating costs, and has a salvage value of $2000 after a project life of 3 years. If interest is 10% per year, which formula calculates the project’s present worth? (a) PW = 12,500(P/F, 10%, 1) + (− 5000 + 3000) (P/A, 10%, 3) − 2000(F/P, 10%, 3) (b) PW = − 12,500 + (5000 − 3000) (P/A, 10%, 3 ) − 2000(P/F, 10%, 3) (c) PW = 12,500(F/P, 10%, 3) + (5000 − 3000) (F/A, 10%, 3) + 2000 (d) PW = − 12, 500 + 5000(P/A, 10%, 3) − 3000 (P/A, 10%, 3) + 2000(P/F, 10%, 3)
