2. One year ago, a machine was purchased at a cost of $2,000, to be used for 6 years.However, the machine has failed to perform properly and has a cost of $500 per year forrepairs, adjustments, and shutdowns. A new machine is available to accomplish thefunctions desired and has an initial cost of $3,500. Its maintenance costs are expected tobe $50 per year during its service of 5 years. The approximate market value of the presentmachine has been roughly $1,200. If the operating cost (other than maintenance) for bothmachines are equal, show whether it is economical to purchase the new machine. Performa before-tax study, using an interest rate of 12% and assume that the salvage values will benegligible.
An asset for drilling was purchased and place in service by a petroleum production company. Its initial investment is P60,000 and it has an estimated salvage value of P12,000 at the end of an estimated useful life of 14 years. Compute the book value at the end of the 5th year of life using SLM. a. P48,257.00 b. P42,857.00 c. None of the above d. P45,572.00
Economic Life Exercises1. A machine costs $ 10,000 and is expected to be scrapped for $ 1,500 inthe moment he retires. Operating expenses for the first year are expected to be $ 3,500 and increasing by $ 400 as a result of the impairment; and operating income Estimated $ 20,000 If the MARR is 15%, determine the economic life of the machine.
Allen Construction purchased a crane 6 years ago for $130,000. They need a crane of this capacity for the next 5 years. Normal operation costs $35,000 per year. The current crane will have no salvage value at the end of 5 more years. Allen can trade in the current crane for its market value of $40,000 toward the purchase of a new one, which costs $150,000. The new crane will cost only $8,000 per year under normal operating conditions and will have a salvage value of $55,000 after 5 years. If MARR is 20%, determine which option is preferred. a) Use cash flow approach (insider's viewpoint approach) b) Use the opportunity cost approach (outsider's viewpoint approach)
An item's initial cost is P 800,000, and its market worth after 5 years is P 507,630. Determine the equipment's estimated salvage value.
An industrial forklift has been in service for several years and management plans to replace it. For the respective study, a planning horizon of five years will be used. The old forklift (defender) has a current market value of $1,500. If the defender were to be retained, it is anticipated that it would generate annual O&M costs of $7,300. It would have a market value of zero at the end of five additional years of service. The new forklift (challenger) will cost $10,000 and will have operating and maintenance costs totaling $5,100. At the end of the planning horizon it will have a market value of $2,500. Determine the preferable alternative by comparing the present value and the minimum acceptable rate of return (before taxes) of 20% per year.
A recapping plant is planning to acquire a new Diesel generating set to replace its resent unitwhich they run during brownouts. The new set would cost ₱ 135,000 with a five (5) year-life,and no estimated salvage value. Variable cost would be ₱ 150,000 a year.The old generating set has a book value of ₱ 75,000 and a remaining life of 5 years. Itsdisposal value now is ₱ 7,500 but it would be zero after 5 years. Variable operating cost wouldbe ₱187,500 a year. Money is worth 10%.Which is profitable, to buy new generator or retain the old set? Support answer using:a) Equivalent Uniform Annual Cost (EUAC) Method

A present asset (defender) has a current market value of $85,000 (year 0 dollars). Estimated market values at the end of the next three years, expressed in year 0 dollars, are MV1= $73,000, MV2 = $60,000, MV3 = $40,000. The annual expenses (expressed in year 0 dollars) are $15,000 and are expected to increase at 4.5% per year. The before-tax nominal MARR is 15% per year. The best challenger has an economic life of five years and its associated EUAC is $39,100. Market values are expected to increase at the rate of inflation which is 3% per year. Based on this information and a before-tax analysis, what are the marginal costs of the defender each year and when should you plan to replace the defender with the challenger?
Give typing answer with explanation and conclusion A piece of equipment has a first cost of $175,000, a maximum useful life of 7 years, and a market (salvage) value described by the relation S = 120,000 – 11,000k, where k is the number of years since it was purchased. The salvage value cannot go below zero. The AOC series is estimated using AOC = 60,000 + 14,000k. The interest rate is 12% per year. Determine the economic service life and the respective AW.
