Machine A was purchased 5 years ago for $90,000. Its operating cost is higher than expected, so it will be used for only 4 more years. Its operating cost this year will be $40,000, increasing by $2000 per year through the end of its useful life. The challenger, machine B, will cost $150,000 with a $50,000 salvage value after its 10-year ESL. Its operating cost is expected to be$10,000 for year 1, increasing by $500 per year thereafter. What is the market value for machine A that would make the two machines equally attractiveat an interest rate of 12% per year?
A Diesel power plant located in Subic, Pampanga, is wanting to acquire a new generator set for the plant to replace the unit that they currently use. The new set has an amount of P200,000 which can last up to 5 years and no salvage value. It has production cost of P175,000. The present generator set they have still has a life of 5 remaining years out of the 10 years of its useful life with a salvage value of P12,000. Its current value can be computed by Straight Line Method. Its original cost is P230,000 that has a production cost of P180,000. If money is worth 10%, what would you suggest? Use AC method.
The mining company is considering purchasing a machine which costs $30000 and is expected to last 12 years with a $3000 Salvage value. The annual operating expenses are expected to be $9000 for the first 4 years, but owing to decreased use, the operating costs will decrease by $400 per year for the next 8 years. Alternatively, the company can prirchase a highly automated machine at a cost of $58000. This machine will last only 6 years because of its high technology. and delicate design, and its salvage value will be $15000. Because it it is so automated, its operating cost will be only $4.000 per year. If the company's minimum attractive fate of return is 20% per year, which Machine should be selected on the basis of present worth analysis?
$250,000 is invested in equipment having a salvage value equal to $250,000(0.80n) after n years of use. O&M costs equal $60,000 the first year and increase $8,000 per year. Based on a MARR of 10%, what are the optimum replacement interval and minimum EUAC?
New microelectronics testing equipment was purchased 2years ago by Mytesmall Industries at a cost of $600,000. Atthat time, it was expected to be used for 5 years and thentraded or sold for its salvage value of $75,000. Expandedbusiness in newly developed international markets is forcingthe decision to trade now for a new unit at a cost of$800,000. The current equipment could be retained, ifnecessary, for another 2 years, at which time it would have a$5000 estimated market value. The current unit is appraisedat $350,000 on the international market, and if it is used foranother 2 years, it will have M&O costs (exclusive ofoperator costs) of $125,000 per year. Determine the valuesof P, n, S, and AOC for this defender if a replacementanalysis were performed today. P = market value =$350,000AOC = $125,000 per yearn = 2 yearsS = $5,000

What expenditures for anew machine is justified if no maintenance will be acquired for the first 3 years,P12,000.00 per year for the next 7 years, and P48,000 a year thereafter?Assume money to cost 4% compounded annually and no other costs to beconsidered.
Machine X has an initial cost of P 45,000, annual maintenance of P 2,250 per year, an no salvage value at the end of its four-year useful life. Machine Y costs P 90,000. The first year there is no maintenance cost. The second year, maintenance is P450, and increases P450 per year in the subsequent years. The machine has an anticipated value P22,500 salvage value at the end of its 12-year useful life.If interest is 8%, what is the present worth of cost of 12 years of Machine X? a) P157,357 b) P140,174 c) P52,452 d) P 119,345
A piece of equipment has a first cost of $60000, a maximum useful life of 4 years, and a market (salvage) value described by the relation Sk = 48000 – 8400k, where k is the number of years since it was purchased. The AOC series is estimated using AOC = 24000 + 3600k. The interest rate is 9% per year. When should the company replace this asset?
An equipment was bought for P1 500 000 and has a salvage value of P600 000 at the end of its life. If the book value of the equipment is P870 000 at the end of two years, find the life span using Sum of Years Digit?
