Ch 25 Pro. 2 Please give me step by step instructions to calculate the answer. Average Rate of Return—Cost Savings Master Fab Inc. is considering an investment in equipment that will replace direct labor. The equipment has a cost of $99,000 with a $9,000 residual value and a 10-year life. The equipment will replace one employee who has an average wage of $22,950 per year. In addition, the equipment will have operating and energy costs of $4,770 per year. Determine the average rate of return on the equipment, giving effect to straight-line depreciation on the investment. If required, round to the nearest whole percent.__________________ % Liz C

CH 5 #7 The New York State Utility Company is considering the construction of a new utility plant. It has accumulated the following cost information: Item Fossil plant (oil and gas) Nuclear plant Initial outlay $60,000,000 $100,000,000 Annual operating cost 15,000,000 20,000,000a Note a This is the projected cost for year 1. It is expected that the operating costs of the nuclear plant will decrease by $2,000,000 per year and level off at $10,000,000. The expected decrease is a result of decreased fuel costs. Both plants have an expected useful life of 50 years. Assume the hurdle rate for this project is 0.05 per year. Which plant should be built? Assume that if the nuclear plant is not built the needed electricity can be purchased at a cost of $16 million per year. Should it be built?
Item 6 Time Remaining 1 hour 57 minutes 54 seconds 01:57:54 Item 6 Time Remaining 1 hour 57 minutes 54 seconds 01:57:54 Assume that a company is considering purchasing a machine for $100,000 that will have a seven-year useful life and a $17,000 salvage value. The machine will lower operating costs by $18,000 per year and increase sales volume by 1,000 units per year. The company earns a contribution margin of $3.00 per unit. The company also expects this investment to provide qualitative benefits that it is struggling to incorporate into its financial analysis. Assuming the company’s required rate of return is 17%, the minimum dollar value per year that must be provided by the machine’s qualitative benefits to justify the $100,000 investment is closest to: Click here to view Exhibit 7B-1 and Exhibit 7B-2, to determine the appropriate discount factor(s) using the tables provided.

A3 9b You are considering a project that will supply an automobile production facility with 35,000 tonnes of machine screws annually for five years. To get the project started, you will need an initial investment of $1,500,000 in threading equipment. The project will last for five years. The accounting department estimates that annual fixed costs will be $300,000 and that variable costs should be $200 per tonne. The CCA rate for threading equipment is 20%. Accounting estimates a salvage value of $500,000 after costs of dismantling. The marketing department estimates that the auto makers will accept the contract at a selling price of $250 per tonne. The engineering department estimates you will need an initial net working capital investment of $450,000. You require a 15% return and face a marginal tax rate of 38% on this project. b. Suppose you believe that the accounting department’s initial cost and salvage projections are accurate only to within ±15%; the marketing department’s…
