During your first month as an employee atGreenfield Industries (a large drill-bit manufacturer),you are asked to evaluate alternatives forproducing a newly designed drill bit on a turningmachine. Your boss’ memorandum to you haspractically no information about what the alternativesare and what criteria should be used. The same taskwas posed to a previous employee who could notfinish the analysis, but she has given you the followinginformation: An old turning machine valued at $350,000exists (in the warehouse) that can be modified for thenew drill bit. The in-house technicians have givenan estimate of $40,000 to modify this machine, andthey assure you that they will have the machine readybefore the projected start date (although they havenever done any modifications of this type). It is hopedthat the old turning machine will be able to meetproduction requirements at full capacity. An outsidecompany, McDonald Inc., made the machine sevenyears ago and can easily do the same…

Given problem: The ore of a gold mine in the Mountain Province contains, on average, 0.5 grams of gold per ton. One method of processing costs $1,650 per ton and recovers 93% of the gold, while another method costs only $1,500 per ton and recovers 81% of the gold. If gold can be sold at $8,500 per gram, which method is better, and by how much? Consider the income and cost per ton of ore. Solve for the net receipt of each method. *Round off answer in 2 decimal places. Thank you
Johnson Controls spent more than $2.5 millionretrofitting a government complex and installing acomputerized energy-management system for theState of Massachusetts. As a result, the state’s energybill dropped from an average of $6 million a yearto $3.5 million. Moreover, both parties will benefitfrom the 10-year life of the contract. Johnson recovers half the money it saved in reduced utility costs(about $1.2 million a year over 10 years); Massachusetts has more money to spend on other things. Whatis the rate of return realized by Johnson Controls inthis energy-control system?

A) Mary O’Leary’s company ships fine wool garments from CountyCork, Ireland. Five years ago she purchased some new automatedpacking equipment having a first cost of $125,000. The annual costsfor operating, maintenance, and insurance, as well as market valuedata for each year of the equipment’s 10-year useful life are asfollows. B) Now Mary is looking at the remaining 5 years of her investment inthis equipment. What is the marginal cost for each of the remaining5 years? When, if at all, should Mary replace this packing equipmentwith a new asset that has a minimum EUAC of $110,000?
A firm is considering purchasing equipment to manufacture a new product. The equipment will cost $3M, and expected net cash inflowsare $0.35M indefinitely. If market demand for theproduct is low, then over the next five years thefirm will have the option of discarding the equipment on a secondary market for $2.2M. Assume thatMARR = 12%, s = 50%, and r = 6%. What isthe value of this investment opportunity for the firm?

A Veterans Administration (VA) hospital isto decide which type of boiler fuel system will mostefficiently provide the required steam energy outputfor heating, laundry, and sterilization purposes. Thecurrent boilers were installed in the early 1950s andare now obsolete. Much of the auxiliary equipmentis also old and in need of repair. Because of thesegeneral conditions, an engineering recommendationwas made to replace the entire plant with a new boilerplant building that would house modern equipment.The cost of demolishing the old boiler plant wouldbe almost a complete loss, as the salvage value of thescrap steel and used brick was estimated to be onlyabout $1,000. The VA hospital’s engineer finallyselected two alternative proposals as being worthyof more intensive analysis. The hospital’s annualenergy requirement, measured in terms of steam output, is approximately 145,000,000 pounds of steam.As a rule of thumb for analysis, 1 pound of steam isapproximately 1,000 Btu, and 1 cubic foot…
