aa.2 A new treatment facility will cost $25,000,000. It will operate for 25 years, and an annual cost of $1,000,000. After 25 years, the facility will be sold for $5,000,000. All estimates are in constant 2023 dollars. The MARR is 5%, and inflation is assumed to be 2.5%. a) Calculate i’ b) Use constant dollars to determine the present worth of costs (PWC) after inflation.
A man desires to have a preplanned amount in a savings account when he retires in 20 years. This amount is to be equivalent to $30,000 in today’s purchasing power. If the expected average inflation rate is 7% per year and the savings account earns 5% interest, what lump sum of money should the man deposit now in his savings account?
A marketing company established a program to replace the cars of its sales representatives at the end of every 5 years. If the present price of the approved type of car is P520,000.00 with a resale value at the end of 5 years of 60% its present value, how much money must the company accumulate for 5 years if inflation annually is 10%. Release value will also appreciate at 10% yearly.
A self-employed chemical engineer is on contract with Dow Chemical, currently working in a relatively high-inflation country. She wishes to calculate a project’s PW with estimated costs of $35,000 now and $7000 per year for5 years beginning 1 year from now with increases of 12% per year thereafterfor the next 8 years. Use a real interest rate of 15% per year to make the calculations(a) without an adjustment for inflation and (b) considering inflation at a rate of 11% per year.
A father wants to save in advance for his 8-year old daughter’s college expenses.The daughter will enter the college 10 years from now. An annual amount of$20,000 in today’s dollars (constant dollars) will be required to support the college for 4 years. Assume that these college payments will be made at the beginning of each school year. (The first payment occurs at the end of 10 years). Thefuture general inflation rate is estimated to be 5% per year, and the interest rateon the savings account will be 8% compounded quarterly (market interest rate)during this period. If the father has decided to save only $1,000 (actual dollars) atthe end of each quarter until she goes to college (the last deposit occurs at the endof 10 years) how much will the daughter have to borrow to cover her sophomoreexpenses?(a) $4,120 (b) $4,314(c) $4,000 (d) $4,090
A ham radio operator wishes to borrow $160,000 to construct a world-class antenna system, transceiver, and amplifier at an electrically quiet location that can be accessed remotely and controlled via the Internet. Microphone, Morse code, radio teletype, slow-scan TV, and a host of other modes may be used for contesting, amassing DX awards, and chatting from anywhere in the world. She borrows the money at 8.5%. Annual inflation is 3.8%. Her combined MARR is 9%. The loan is to be paid back over 5 years. What is the amount to be paid at each year-end and the PW (using both then-current and constant-dollar approaches) if repayment follows: Plan 3 (make equal annual payments)?

Plan 2 (make equal annual principal payments each year, plus interest on the unpaid balance)? Plan 3 (make equal annual payments)? Plan 4 (make a single payment of principal and interest at the end of the last year)?

ASAP An investment of $200,000 is required to expand a certain production facility in a manufacturing company. The firm estimates that labor costs will be $150,000 for the first year but will increase at the rate of 8% over the previous year’s expenditure. Material costs, on the other hand, will be $400,000 for the first year but will increase at the rate of 10% per year due to inflation. If the firm’s inflation-free interest rate (i′) is 20% and the average general inflation rate (f) is expected to be 15% over the next 5 years, determine the total present equivalent operating expenses (with no tax consideration) for the project. Please show step by step answer.
