Friedman Company is considering installing a new IT system. The cost of the new system is estimated to be 2,250,000, but it would produce after-tax savings of 450,000 per year in labor costs. The estimated life of the new system is 10 years, with no salvage value expected. Intrigued by the possibility of saving 450,000 per year and having a more reliable information system, the president of Friedman has asked for an analysis of the projects economic viability. All capital projects are required to earn at least the firms cost of capital, which is 12 percent. Required: 1. Calculate the projects internal rate of return. Should the company acquire the new IT system? 2. Suppose that savings are less than claimed. Calculate the minimum annual cash savings that must be realized for the project to earn a rate equal to the firms cost of capital. Comment on the safety margin that exists, if any. 3. Suppose that the life of the IT system is overestimated by two years. Repeat Requirements 1 and 2 under this assumption. Comment on the usefulness of this information.
The average annual cost of damages caused by floods to certain subdivision located along Pasig River is estimated at P700,000. To build a gravity dam to protect the area from the floods, would cost P2,500,00.00 and would involved an annual maintenance cost of P20,000.00. With interest at 8% compounded annually, how many years will it take for the dam to pay for itself?
The average annual cost of damages caused by floods to a certain subdivision located along Pasig River is estimated at Php 700,000. To build a gravity dam to protect the area from floods, would cost Php 2.5M and would involve an annual maintenance cost of Php 20,000.00. With interest rate at 8% compounded annually, how many years will it take for the dam to pay for itself?
Using the B/C ratio method To reduce flood damage in a river valley in Southern Luzon, a flood control dam is being proposed for construction. The initial cost is estimated to be P4,600,000, with annual maintenance and inspection costs of P24,000. Every 5 years, minor reconstruction work will be undertaken on the dam at a cost ofP150,000. If the dam is built, flood damage is expected to be reduced from P800,000 to P100,000 annually. Assuming the dam to be permanent and the interest rate is 8%, should the dam be built?
The average annual cost of damages caused by flooding to a subdivision nearPasig River is estimated at P 5M. To build a gravity dam to protect the area from flooding would cost P 25M and would cost an annual maintenance cost of P 2M. Interest is 11%. How many years will it take for the dam to pay itself?
2. A new machine is expected to cost Php 300, 000 and have a life of 5 years. Maintenance costs willbe Php 75, 000 the first year, Php 85, 000 the second year, Php 95, 000 the third year, Php 105,000 the fourth year, and Php 115, 000 the fifth year. To pay for the machine, how much should bebudgeted and deposited in a fund that earns 9% per year, compounded annually? Not solve in excel works.
A permanent flood control dam is expected to have an initial cost of $2.8 million and an annual upkeep cost of $20,000. In addition, minor reconstruction will be required every 5 years at a cost of $200,000. As a result of the dam, flood damage will be reduced by an average of $180,000 per year. Using an interest rate of 6% per year, the conventional B/C ratio will be closest to:a. 0.46b. 0.81c. 0.97d. 1.06

Tempura, Inc., is considering two projects. Project A requires an investment of $58,000. Estimated annual receipts for 20 years are $20,000; estimated annual costs are $12,500. An alternative project, B, requires an investment of $77,000, has annual receipts for 20 years of $26,000, and has annual costs of $18,000. Assume both projects have a zero salvage value and that MARR is 16.0 %/year. What is the present worth of each project? Project A: $ Project B: $
A permanent flood-control dam is expected to have an initial cost of $2.8 million and an annual M&O cost of $20,000. In addition, minor reconstruction will be required every 5 years at a cost of $200,000. As a result of the dam, flood damage will be reduced by an average of $310,000 per year. Using an interest rate of 6% per year, the conventional B/C ratio will be closest to: (a) 0.46 (b) 1.02 (c) 1.40 (d) 1.96
The Department of Public Works and Highways is considering the construction of new highway through a scenic rural area. The road is expected to cost 67 million pesos with annual upkeep estimated at 670 thousand pesos. The improved accessibility is expected to result in additional income from tourists of 6.7 million pesos per year. The road is expected to have a useful life of 25 years. If the rate of interest is 18%, should the road be constructed? Solve using B/C ratio method
