Equipment that was purchased by Newport Corporation for making pneumatic vibration isolators cost $90,000 two years ago. It has a market value that can be described by the relation $90,000 − 8000k, where k is the years from time of purchase. The operating cost for the first 5 years is $65,000 per year, after which it increases by $6300 per year. The asset’s salvage value was originally estimated to be $7000 after a predicted 10-year useful life. Determine the values of P, S, and AOC if (a) a replacement study is done now and it is assumed that the equipment will be kept a maximum of only 1 more year, and (b) a replacement study is done 1 year from now and it is assumed that the equipment will be kept a maximum of only 1 more year after that.

Find the ROR using trial and error and linear interpolation for the following: The initial cost at 0 time, P = 280,000 The annual cost (A = 10,000) The salvage at year 10, F = 600,000 n= 10
A plant operation has fixed costs of $1771001 per year, and its output capacity is 116606 electrical appliances per year. The variable cost is $38 per unit, and the product sells for $93 per unit. a.What is the break-even point in terms of units?
The Philippines Transmission Co. makes and sells certain automotive parts. Present sales volume is 483,000 units a year at a selling price of fifty centavos (P0.50) per unit.

A piece of equipment that was purchased 2 years ago by Toshiba Imaging for $50,000 was expected to have a useful life of 5 years with a $5000 salvage value. Its performance was less than expected, and it was upgraded for $20,000 one year ago. Increased demand now requires that the equipment be upgraded again for another $16,500 so that it can be used for 3 more years. If upgraded, its M&O costs will be $22,500 and it will have a $12,000 salvage after 3 years. Alternatively, it can be replaced with new equipment priced at $65,000 with M&O costs of $14,000 per year and a salvage value of $23,000 after 6 years. If replaced now, the existing equipment will be sold for $7000. Determine the values of P, S, M&O, and n for the defender in a replacement study. The value of P is $ . The value of S is $ . The value of M&O is $ per year. The value of n is years.
An expansion of the current BIM (Building Information Model) software has been proposed to First Financial, the building’s owner. A total installed cost of $120,000 is expected to generate additional savings of $40,000 per year for 10 years, after which time the software will be replaced with no salvage value. The annual M&O cost is expected to be $10,000 the first year and increase by an arithmetic gradient G between $1000 and $5000 per year thereafter. Determine if the expanded BIM is sensitive to gradient increases of $1000 (optimistic), $3000 (most likely), and $5000 (pessimistic) per year. Use AW analysis and a MARR of 10% per year.
For P500, 000, an engineer purchased a piece of equipment. He added another P40,000 to his budget for installation and other costs. The equipment's expected useful life is ten years. The salvage value is x% of the original cost. The book value at the end of five years using the straight line technique will be P300,500. What is the numerical value of x?
State-of-the-art digital imaging equipment purchased 2 years ago for $50,000 had an expected useful life of 5 years and a $5000 salvage value. After its installation the performance was poor, and it was upgraded for $20,000 one year ago. Increased demand now requires another upgrade for an additional $22,000 so that it can be used for 3 more years. Its new annual operating cost will be $27,000 with a $12,000 salvage after the 3 years. Alternatively, it can be replaced with new equipment costing $65,000, an estimated AOC of $14,000, and an expected salvage of $23,000 after 3 years. If replaced now, the existing equipment can be traded for only $7000. Use a MARR of 10% per year. (a) Determine whether the company should retain or replace the defender now. (b) Based on the poor experience with the current equipment, assume the person doing this analysis decides the challenger may be kept for only 2 years, not 3, with the same AOC and salvage estimates for the 2 years. What is the decision?
