Required information Brooke is evaluating two alternatives for improving the exterior appearance of her Victorian-style house that she is remodeling inside. She plans to keep this as her home for 20 more years. The house can be completely painted at a cost of $13,500. The paint is expected to remain attractive for 5 years, at which time repainting will be necessary. Every time the building is repainted (ie, in years 5, 10, and 15), the cost will increase by 20% over the previous time. As an alternative, the exterior can be covered with a vintage-appearing vinyl-coated siding now and again 10 years from now at a cost 39% greater than the present cost of the siding. ta MARR of 10% per year, what is the maximum amount that Brooke should spend now on the siding alternative so that the two ternatives will just break even? Solve using factors. The maximum amount that Brooke should spend now on the siding alternative is $

Corrosive liquids are transported through pipes in a factory . Ordinary pipes will have an installedcost of P30,000 and their useful life is 3 years . Stainless steel pipes are higly resistant to the corrosive effectof the liquids and are being considered as an alternative . These pipes are estimated to have an installed costof P55,000 . Salvage value is zero in each case . If money is worth 8% and assuming replacement costs to be thesame as the original prices , what should be the useful life of the stainless steel pipes to have equal capitalizedcost as the ordinary pipes? A) 5.3 years C) 5.9 yearsB) 5.6 years D) 6.2 years
Economics A commercial 3D printer is purchased for $310,000. The salvage value of the printer decreases by 45% each year that it is held. The cost to operate and maintain the machine the first year it is used is $12,000; these costs increase by $5,500 each year. What is the optimal replacement interval and minimum EUAC for the printer, assuming a MARR of 11% is used? ORI: years EUAC*: $
uppose that you purchased a HVAC system five years ago for $75, 000. The O&Mcosts are $15, 000 this year and are expected to increase by $1, 000 each year for the next five yearsthen remain the same for the following years.The current salvage value of the system is $15, 000; salvage value after one year is estimated tobe $12, 000; after two years, $11, 000; after three years, $10, 000; after four years, $9, 000; and so on.A new industrial HVAC system is available for purchase at a price of $95, 000, including instal-lation. The market value of the new system will decrease at a rate of 15% each year. The O&Mcosts are expected to be $1, 000 in the first year, and will increase at a rate of 20% each year. Themaximum service life of the new system is 10 years. Assume that your company uses an interestrate of 10% for all project evaluations.(a) Find the remaining economic life of the currently owned asset.(b) What is the economic service life of the new system?(c) Use the…
A company is trying to consider buying an equipment with an initial cost of $80,000. The salvage value is expected to be $20,000 after 20 years. A fund is set up to replace it at the end of 20 years. What is the uniform annual deposit that should be made to the fund? Money is worth 10% per annum.
J&M Manufacturing plans on purchasing a new assembly machine for $30,000 to automate one of its current manufacturing operations. It will cost an additional $5,500 to have the new machine installed. With the new machine, J&M expects to save $11,000 in annual operating and maintenance costs. The machine will last fivr years with an expected salvage value of $6,000. a. How long will it take to recover the investment (plus installation cost)? The payback period is ? years. (Round up to the nearest whole number.) b. If J&M's interest rate is known to be 13%, determine the discounted payback period. The discounted payback period is ? years. (Round up to the nearest whole number.) Please give proper explanation of the each sub question given above.will give you thumbs up only for the correct answer. Thank you
Saxon Products, Incorporated, is investigating the purchase of a robot for use on the company’s assembly line. Selected data relating to the robot are provided below: Cost of the robot $ 1,800,000 Installation and software $ 470,000 Annual savings in inventory carrying costs $ 214,000 Annual increase in power and maintenance costs $ 34,000 Salvage value in 5 years $ 74,000 Useful life 5 years In addition to the data above, engineering studies suggest that use of the robot will result in a savings of 29,000 direct labor-hours each year. The labor rate is $14 per hour. Also, the smoother work flow made possible by the use of automation will allow the company to reduce the amount of inventory on hand by $404,000. This inventory reduction will take place at the end of the first year of operation; the released funds will be available for use elsewhere in the company. Saxon Products has a 16% required rate of return. Click here to view Exhibit 14B-1 and Exhibit…
