oncurris Prototyping is committed to using the newest and finest equipment in its labs. Accordingly, Wilma, a senior engineer, has recommended that a 2 -year-old piece of precision measurement equipment be replaced immediately. She believes it can be demonstrated that the proposed equipment is economically advantageous at a 15%-per year return and a planning horizon of 5 years. Perform the replacement analysis using the annual worth method, a 5 -year study period, and the estimates below. Was Wilma correct? \table[[Equipment,Current,Proposed],[Original purchase price, $,-30,000,-42,000

ABC Beverage, LLC, purchases its 355-ml cans in large bulk from Wald-China Can Corporation. The finish on the anodized aluminum surface is produced by mechanical finishing technologies called brushing or bead blasting. Engineers at Wald are switching to more efficient, faster, and cheaper machines to supply ABC. Use the estimates and MARR = 8% per year to select between the two alternatives. Brush Alternative Bead Blasting Alternative P $-400,000 $-400,000 n 6 years large Salvage Value $50,000 no value AOC Nonlabor $-60,000 in year 1, decreasing by $2500 annually starting in year 2 $-70,000 per year
A drug store is looking into the possibility of installing a 24/7-automated refill system to increase its projected revenues by ₱800,000 per year over the next 5 years. Annual expenses to maintain the system are expected to be ₱200,000. The system will cost ₱2,000,000 and will have no market value at the end of the 5-year study period. The store’s MARR is 20% per year. Using the AW (annual worth) method, it can be concluded that this is not a good investment. True or False? Why?
TRUE OR FALSE 4. If there is a past estimation error, there is a need to replace the property immediately.5. The physical life is always greater than all the other “life” factors under replacement analysis.6. If breakeven analysis is conducted with PW analysis for different MEAs, it doesn’t guarantee that the fastestalternative to reach its breakeven point has also the highest equivalent worth.

A road resurfacing project costs $250,000, lasts 5 years and saves $150,000 annually in patching costs. MARR is 12%. Determine the annual worth (in $)
TRUE OR FALSE: If there is a past estimation error, there is a need to replace the property immediately. The physical life is always greater than all the other “life” factors under replacement analysis.

The Civil Engineering department at RRCP plans to purchase a 3D printer for the CARSI lab. One option is the purchase of a brand new machine (purchase price $1900), and will have a salvage value of $700 after three years. A second option is the purchase of a refurbished machine (purchase price $1200), which will cost $250 per year to maintain, with a salvage value of $250 after three years. What is the interest rate that will make these two options equivalent with respect to Present Worth?

(a) How long would it take to recover an investment of $245,000 in enhanced CNC controls that include axis control to eight axes on the milling model, if the associated income is $92,000 per year, expense is $38,000 per year, and the salvage value is estimated to be 15% of the first cost? Use a MARR of 15% per year. (b) Also, write the spreadsheet function that determines np.
