A company is currently paying its employees$0.56 per mile to drive their own cars on companybusiness. The company is considering supplyingemployees with cars, which would involve purchasing at $25,000 with an estimated three-year life, a netsalvage value of $8,000, taxes and insurance at a costof $1,200 per year, and operating and maintenanceexpenses of $0.30 per mile. If the interest rate is 10%and the company anticipates an employee’s annualtravel to be 30,000 miles, what is the equivalent costper mile (neglecting income taxes)

Your company is determing whether or not it should invest in a new pallet wrapping station. The station would cost $6,500 and your company's MARR is 13%. You estimate the purchasing a pallet wrapper would save you $2,000 in labor annually, and at the end of 3 years you would realize a salvage value of $400. How would you calculate the present worth of this investment in Excel?
I want you to provide me the Cash Flow diagram of the problem. Only cash flow diagram, the solution is already there. Thanks in advance! The annual estimated cash flow is $140,000. The salvage value will be 12% of the initial price after 5 years. The discount rate (r) is 18% Let us assume the initial price of the doughnut machine be X. PV of cash inflows=PV of cash outflows$140,000×PVAF4,18%+.12X×PVF5,18%=X$140,000×2.69006180465+.12X×0.43710921621=X$376,608.652651=X-0.05245310594$376,608.652651=0.94754689406XX=$397,456.479475 The maximum purchase price of the doughnut machine is $397,456.48.
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

Ten years ago, Johnson Recovery purchased a wrecker for $330, 000 to move disabled 18-wheelers. He received a salvage value of $25, 000 after 10 years of use. During this 10-year period, his average annual revenue totaled $60, 000. a) Did he recover his investment at 12% per year return? In other words, does the Annual Equivalent Value of the benefits exceed the Capital Recovery cost at an interest rate of 12%? b) Suppose Johnson moves, on average, 250 disabled 18-wheelers each year. What is his average equivalent benefit/cost per vehicle moved? c) Now, incorporate annual operating and maintenance costs into your analysis. If the annual O&M cost was $5, 000 the first year and increased by a constant 10% per year, what is the annual equivalent worth at 12% per year?
