An industrial machine costing $10,000 will produce net cash
savings of $4,000 per year. The machine has a five-year useful life
but must be returned to the factory for major repairs after three
years of operation. These repairs cost $5,000. The company's
MARR is 10% per year. What IRR will be earned on the purchase
of this machine? Analyze the sensitivity of IRR to ± $2,000
changes in the repair cost.
Perform the sensitivity analysis. Fill-in the table below. (Round to

An engineer has recently purchased a new piece of equipmenato use in analyzing geological formations. The equipment has no maintenance
costs the first year due to a one year's free maintenance warranty. In the second year, it is expected to cost $20 to maintain the equipment
and in subsequent years the cost of maintenance will increase by $20 per year (i.e. maintenance cost is $40 in year three, $60 in year four,
and so on). Approximately what amount must be set aside now at 6% interest to pay the cost of maintaining the equipment over the first six
years of ownership?

A computational method developed at Carnegie Mellon maps in 3-D the microstructure of aircraft materials in their present state so that engineers can test them under different conditions of moisture, salt, dirt, etc. Military officials can then determine if an aircraft is fine, is in need of overhaul, or should be retired. If the 3-D system allows the Navy to use one airplane 2 years longer than it normally would have been used, thereby delaying the purchase of a $20 million aircraft for 2 years, what is the present worth of the assessment system at an interest rate of 8% per year?arrow_forward
- A sheltered workshop requires a lift truck to handle pallets for a new contract. A lift truck can be purchased for Rs.2,70,000. Annual insurance costs are 3% of the purchase price, payable on the first of each year, an equivalent truck can be rented for Rs,15,000 per month payable at the end of each month. Operating costs are same for both the alternatives. For what minimum number of months must a purchased truck be used on the contract to make purchasing more attractive than leasing? Interest rate is 12% compounded monthly. Assume that the purchased truck has no salvage value.
