Midwest Airlines (MWA) is planning to expand its fleet of jets to replace some old planes and to expand its routes. It has received a proposal to purchase 112 small jets over the next 4 years. What annual net revenue must each jet produce to break even on its operating cost? The analysis should be done by finding the EUAC for the 10-year planned ownership period. MWA has a MARR of 12%, purchases the jet for $22 million, has operating and maintenance costs of $3.2 million the first year, increasing 8% per year, and performs a major maintenance upgrade costing $4.5M at end of Year 5. Assume the plane has a salvage value at end of Year 10 of $13 million.

You must evaluate a proposal to buy a new milling machine. The purchase price of the milling machine, including shipping and installation costs, is $183,000, and the equipment will be fully depreciated at the time of purchase. The machine would be sold after 3 years for $50,000. The machine would require a $4,000 increase in net operating working capital (increased inventory less increased accounts payable). There would be no effect on revenues, but pretax labor costs would decline by $47,000 per year. The marginal tax rate is 25%, and the WACC is 8%. Also, the firm spent $4,500 last year investigating the feasibility of using the machine. How should the $4,500 spent last year be handled? (PICK one 1-6) Only the tax effect of the research expenses should be included in the analysis. Last year's expenditure should be treated as a terminal cash flow and dealt with at the end of the project's life. Hence, it should not be included in the initial investment outlay. Last year's…
