For a construction job, a contractor can haul rock by means of an ordir yard dump truck, or he can use a combination rig where a 10 cubic yar pulls an 8 cubic yard trailer. When this combination is used, the trailer empty dump truck body for the return trip. The total equivalent opera ncluding the driver, amortization of capital, interest on the investmen maintenance is P625/hour for the dump truck and P875/hour for the he required 10-mile haul, the loading and unloading, hauling, and ret

. In connection with surfacing a new highway, acontractor has a choice of two sites on which toset up the mixing plant equipment.The contractor estimates that it will cost P51.75per cubic meter per kilometer to haul the asphaltpaving material from the mixing plant to the jobsite.If site B is selected, there will be an addedcharge of P600 per day for a flagman and it needs 2 flagman.The job requires 50,000 cubic meters of mixedasphalt paving material. It is estimated that fourmonths (17 weeks of five working days perweek) will be required for the job.
Two lathes are being considered in the manufacture of certain machine parts. Data is given below, all cost in peso: LATHE A LATHE B First Cost 40,000 56,000 Salvage Value 5,000 7,000 Annual Maintenance 2,000 2,800 Operation, Cost/hour 4 3.5 Life, in years 10 12 Time per part (hours) 0.40 0.25 REQUIRED: If the number of parts is 10,000 units, which lathe will you recommend?

:You are evaluating two different silicon wafer milling machines. The Techron I costs $265,000, has a 3-year life, and has pretax operating costs of $74,000 per year. The Techron II costs $445,000, has a 5-year life, and has pretax operating costs of $47,000 per year. For both milling machines, we use straight line depreciation to zero over the project’s life and assume a salvage value of $35,000. If your tax rate is 22 percent and your discount rate is 10 percent, compute the EAC for both machines. Which machine do you prefer? Why?
You are evaluating two different silicon wafer milling machines. The Techron I costs $255,000, has a three-year life, and has pretax operating costs of $68,000 per year. The Techron II costs $445,000, has a five-year life, and has pretax operating costs of $41,000 per year. For both milling machines, use straight-line depreciation to zero over the project’s life and assume a salvage value of $45,000. If your tax rate is 25 percent and your discount rate is 8 percent, compute the EAC for both machines. (Your answer should be a negative value and indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
You are evaluating two different silicon wafer milling machines. The Techron I costs $267,000, has a three-year life, and has pretax operating costs of $72,000 per year. The Techron II costs $465,000, has a five-year life, and has pretax operating costs of $45,000 per year. For both milling machines, use straight-line depreciation to zero over the project’s life and assume a salvage value of $49,000. If your tax rate is 24 percent and your discount rate is 9 percent, compute the EAC for both machines.
You are evaluating two different silicon wafer milling machines. The Techron I costs $265,000, has a 3-year life, and has pretax operating costs of $41,000 per year. The Techron II costs $330,000, has a 5-year life, and has pretax operating costs of $52,000 per year. For both milling machines, use straight-line depreciation to zero over the project’s life and assume a salvage value of $25,000. If your tax rate is 21 percent and your discount rate is 9 percent, compute the EAC for both machines.
Norton Auto Parts, Inc., is considering two different forklift trucks for use in its assembly plant:A. Truck A costs $15,000 and requires $3,000 in annual operating expenses. It will have a $5,000 salvage value at the end of its three-year service life.B. Truck B costs $20,000 but requires only $2,000 in annual operating expenses; its service life is four years after which its expected salvage value is $8,000. The firm's MARR is 12%. Assuming that the truck is needed for 12 years and that no significant changes are expected in the future price and functional capacity of both trucks, select the most economical truck based on AE analysis.
