Dexcon Technologies, Inc. is evaluating two alternatives to produce its new plastic filament with tribological (i.e., low friction) properties for creating custom bearings for 3-D printers. The estimates associated with each alternative are shown below. Using a MARR of 20% per year, which alternative has the lower present worth? Method DDM LS First cost, $ −164,000 −370,000 M&O cost, $/year −55,000 −21,000 Salvage value, $ 0 30,000 Life, years 2 4
Airodyne Wind, Inc. has wind tunnels that can operate vertically or horizontally for evaluating the effects of air flow on a component’s PCB response and reliability. The company expects to build a new tunnel that will be outfitted with multiple sensor ports. For the estimates below, calculate the equivalent annual cost of the project. First cost, $ −800,000 Replacement cost, year 2, $ −300,000 AOC, $/year −950,000 Salvage value, $ 250,000 Life, years 4 Interest rate, % 10
A project your firm is considering for implementation has these estimated costs and revenues: an investment cost of $50,000; maintenance costs that start at $5,000 at the end of year (EOY) 1 and increase by $500 each year until year 10 ; savings of $20,000 per year (EOY 1–10); and finally a resale value of $35,000 at the EOY 10. If the project has a 10-year life and the firm’s MARR is 10% per year a) what is the present worth of the project? PW = $___ b) What is the Future Worth of this project? FW = $___ c) What is IRR ? IRR = ___ % d) Is it a sound investment opportunity? YES or NO e) Determine the Discounted Payback? ____ 5 years
A new alloy can be produced by Process A, which costs $200,000 to implement. The operating cost will be $10,000 per quarter with a salvage value of $25,000 after its 2-year life. Process B will have a first cost of $250,000, an operating cost of $15,000 per quarter, and a $40,000 salvage value after its 4-year life. The interest rate is 8% per year compounded quarterly. Using present value analysis which process should be selected.
An electronics firm invested $50,000 in a precision inspection device. They spend $1500 each year to operate and maintain it. An additional $750 is spent in years 2 and 4 for software updates. At the end of 5 years, the firm changed their inspection procedure, eliminating the need for the device. The purchasing agent was very fortunate to sell the inspection device for $40,000, the original price. Compute the equivalent uniform annual cost during the 5 years the device was used. Assume interest at 10% per year.

NEED HELP ASAP!! THANK YOU! Two processes can be used for producing a new engine. Process A will have a first cost of P750,000, an operating cost of P60,000 per year, and a salvage value of P80,000 after its 2-year life. Process B will have a first cost of P1,350,000, an operating cost of P25,000 per year, and a P120,000 salvage value after its 4-year life. Process B will also require updating at the end of year 2 at a cost of P90,000. On the basis of a future worth analysis at an interest rate of 12% per year, write the ANSWER for ALTERNATIVE A: Blank 1 ANSWER for ALTERNATIVE B: Blank 2
