National Chemical Company manufactures a chemical compound that is sold for $58 per gallon. A new variant of the chemical has been discovered, and if the basic compound were processed into the new variant, the selling price would be $90 per gallon. National expects the market for the new compound variant to be 8,500 gallons initially and determines that processing costs to refine the basic compound into the new variant would be $170,000.
Two alternatives are being considered by a food processor for the warehousing and distribution of its canned products in a sales region. These canned products come in standard cartons of 24 cans per carton. The two alternatives are as follows.Alternative A: To have its own distribution system. The administrative costs are estimated at $43,000 per year, and other general operating expenses are calculated at $0.009 per carton. A warehouse will have to be purchased, at a cost of $300,000. Alternative B: To sign an agreement with an independent distribution company that is asking a payment of $0.10 per carton distributed. Assume a study period of 10 years and that the warehouse can be sold at the end of this period for $200,000. a.

- A local U.S. Postal Service office is considering purchasing a 4,000 lb forklift truck, which will be used primarily for processing incoming as well as outgoing postal packages. Forklift trucks traditionally have been fueled by either gasoline, liquid propane gas (LPG), or diesel fuel. Battery-powered electric forklifts, however, arc increasingly popular in many industrial sectors because of their economic and environmental benefits. Therefore, the Postal Service is interested in comparing the four different types of forklifts. Purchase costs as well as annual operating and maintenance costs for each type of forklift are provided by a local utility company. Annual fuel and maintenance costs are measured in terms of number of shifts per year, where one shift is equivalent to eight hours of operation. A comparison of the variables of the four forklift types is given in the following table: The Postal Service is unsure of the number of shifts per year, but it expects them to be somewhere…arrow_forwardWhen evaluating a new project, the firm must consider all off the following factors EXCEPT: Sunk costs such as previous expenditures associated with a market test to determine the feasibility of the project. Changes in net operating working capital attributable to the project. The current after-tax salvage value of a piece of previously acquired land where the new project will be housed. The side effect that the project may have on the firm’s current business and operation.arrow_forwardCT Corp. is considering two mutually exclusive projects. Both require an initial investment of P120,000 at t = 0. Project X has an expected life of 2 years with after-tax cash inflows of P67,000 and P75,000 at the end of Years 1 and 2, respectively. In addition, Project X can be repeated at the end of Year 2 with no changes in its cash flows. Project Y has an expected life of 4 years with after-tax cash inflows of P38,500 at the end of each of the next 4 years. Each project has a WACC of 8%. Listed below are the requirements for this data set: Using the replacement chain approach, how much is the NPV of Project X? (Round the final answer to the nearest peso. Use the "NPV formula" in excel for exact computation. Otherwise, answer based on rounded pv factors will also be accepted.) Which of the two projects will be more profitable considering the replacement chain approach on the NPV of Project X? Using the equivalent annuity approach, what is the equivalent annuity of Project Y?…arrow_forward
- Company X has been contracting its overhauling work to Company Y for$40,000 per machine per year. Company X estimates that by building a $500,000 maintenance facility with a life of 15 years and a salvage value of $100,000 at the end of its life, it could handle its own overhauling at a cost of only $30,000 per machine per year. What is the minimum annual number of machines that Company X must operate to make it economically feasible to build its own facility, assuming an interest rate of 10%?arrow_forwardA company needs to acquire a machine to increase its production. To do so, you will need to make an initial investment of $150,000. Furthermore, the use of the machine will result in annual operating and maintenance costs of around 2,500.00, for a useful life of 10 years and a residual value of %30,000. At the end of 4 and 8 years, it requires revisions that cost $20,000 and $10,000 respectively. At the end of the fifth year, it must undergo a general renovation at the cost of .$45,000. Under these conditions, what is the Uniform Equivalent Annual Cost generated by the company's acquisition of the machine? Consider an attractive minimum rate of return of 10% per year.arrow_forwardYou have been asked to evaluate the profitability of building a new distribution center under the following conditions:I. The proposal is for a distribution center costing $1,500,000. The facility has an expected useful life of 35 years and a net salvage value (net proceeds from its sale after tax adjustments) of $225,000.II. Annual savings (due to a better strategic location) of $227,000 are expected, annual maintenance and administrative costs will be $114,000, and annual income taxes are $43,000. Suppose that the firm's MARR is 12%. Determine the net present worth of the investment.arrow_forward
- You are faced with making a decision on a large capital investment proposal. The capital investment amount is $640,000. Estimated annual revenue at the end of each year in the eight year study period is $180,000. The estimated annual year-end expenses are $42,000 starting in year one. These expenses begin decreasing by $4,000 per year at the end of year four and continue decreasing through the end of year eight. Assuming a $20,000 market value at the end of year eight and a MARR = ε =12% per year, answer the following questions. Using AW, determine whether this proposal is acceptable. What is the ERR of this proposal? Is it acceptable? What is the IRR of this proposal? Is it acceptable? What is the simple and discounted payback period for this proposal?arrow_forwardAMT, Inc., is considering the purchase of a digital camera for the maintenance of design specifications by feeding digital pictures directly into an engineering workstation where computer-aided design files can be superimposed over the digital pictures. Differences between the two images can be noted, and corrections, as appropriate, can then be made by design engineer. The capital investment requirement is P345,000 and the estimated market value of the system after a six-year study period is P115,000. Annual revenues attributable to the new camera system will be P120,000, whereas additional annual expenses will be P20,000. The corporation's MARR is 20% per year.

- The Electro-comp Corporation manufactures 2 electrical products: air conditioners and large fans. The assembly process for each is similar in that both require a certain amount of wiring and drilling. Each air conditioner takes 5 hours of wiring and 3 hours of drilling. Each fan must go through 3 hours of wiring and 2 hours of drilling. To ensure an adequate supply of air conditioners for a contract, at least 50 air conditioners should be manufactured. Electro-comp management also insists that no more than 60 and less than 15 fans be produced during this production period. In addition, management imposed a constraint on the total number of air conditioners and fans to be made not more than 100. During the next production period, 300 hours of wiring and 240 hours of drilling times are available. Each air conditioner sold yields a profit of $50. Each fan assembled may be sold for a $30 profit.
