Your engineering firm needs a rapid prototyping machine. The company gives you two options. In Option 1 you purchase the machine outright for $50,000, pay a maintenance contract of $1,000 per year, and expect to be able to resell the machine after 10 years at a salvage value of $10,000. In Option 2, you lease the machine at $7,000 per year and pay no maintenance, but receive no salvage. Assume that you will be able to take in $8,000 per year in income from this machine. Also assume that an additional option is not to buy the machine at all, but to put the money in the bank at 5% interest. Which option will be best for the firm?
A contractor is considering the following two alternatives:
Purchase a new computer system for $45,000. The system is expected to last 6 years with a salvage value of $7,000.

If a MARR of 6% is used, which alternative should be selected using a net present worth analysis?
Which alternative would you select using an annualized cost method of analysis?

An alternative is to rent it for $35,000 at the beginning of each year. The rental would include all repairs and services. If the machine is purchased, a comparable repair and service contract can be obtainedfor $1,000 per year. The salesperson of the business machine firm has indicated that the expected useful service life of this machine is five years, with zero market value, but the company is not sure how long the machine will be needed. If the machine is rented, the company can cancel the lease at the end of any year. Assuming an income tax rate of 25%, a straight-line depreciation charge of $20,000 for each year the machine is kept, and an after-tax MARR of 10%, prepare an appropriate analysis to help the firm decide whether it is more desirable to purchase or rent.arrow_forward
- What is the bid price for the following situation: You have been approached by a client interested in buying 130,000 widgets a year from you for 5 years and has asked you to submit a bid for his consideration. To be able to produce these widgets, you need to invest in $830,000 in equipment. The equipment has a taxable life of 10 years and will be depreciated using straight line. At the end of the 5 years, the equipment can be sold for $60,000 (market or scrap value). The variable cost of producing the widgets is $8 per unit and you will incur in a fixed cost of $210,000 a year. You have estimated you will need $70,000 today in working capital.
