Answer the given question with a proper explanation and step-by-step solution.
A Canadian engineering company just bought a bending machine for $50,000. Its service life is 10 years, and afterwards its salvage value will be $2,000. Services provided by the machine are expected to bring $10,000 in annual revenues, and operating costs were estimated at $2,000 per year. Assume that the CCA rate is equal to the depreciation rate, the after-tax interest rate is 5% and the corporate tax rate is 30%. Calculate the present worth of
A depletable resource has an inverse demand function of P = 80-0.5q and a marginal extraction cost of $20. If the discount rate is %10, what is the optimal price and quantities for a 2 period extraction of all 200 units
Centronix Corporation purchased new equipment with an estimated useful life of five years. The cost of the equipment was $200,000, and the residual (salvage) value was estimated to be $25,000. In purchasing the new equipment, an old machine was traded in that had an original cost of $180,000, and had been depreciated at the rate of $18,000 a year. The trade-in allowance was $21,000, and accumulated depreciation amounted to $144,000 at the time of the exchange. What should be the cost basis of the new equipment for tax depreciation purposes?(a) $200,000(b) $215,000(c) $175,000( d) $190,000

- An auto-part manufacturer is faced with the prospect of replacing its old robot, which has been used in stamping operation for 10 years. This particular robot was installed at a cost of $100,000 and was assumed to have a 15-year life with no appreciable salvage value. The current annual operating costs are $20,000 for this old robot, and these costs are presumed to be the same for the rest of its life. A sales representative from Advanced Robotic Systems is trying to sell this company a new-highly efficient robot. The new system would require an investment of $200,000 for installation. The economic life of this new robot is estimated to be IO years with a salvage value of $18,000, and the robot will reduce annual operating costs to $5,000. No detailed agreement has been made with the sales representative about the disposal of the old robot. Determine therange of resale values associated with the old system that would justify installation of the new system at a MARR of 14%.arrow_forwardA local restaurateur who had been running a profitable business for many years recently purchased a three-way liquor license. This license gives the owner the legal right to sell beer, wine, and spirits in her restaurant. The cost of obtaining the three-way license was about $90,000, since only 300 such licenses are issued by the state. While the license is transferable, only $75,000 is refundable if the owner chooses not to use the license. After selling alcoholic beverages for about one year, the restaurateur came to the realization that she was losing dinner customers and that her profitable restaurant was turning into a noisy, unprofitable bar. Subsequently, she spent about $8,000 placing advertisements in various newspapers and restaurant magazines across the state offering to sell the license for $80,000. After a long wait, she finally received one offer to purchase her license for $77,000. What is your opinion of the restaurateur’s decisions?

The company is considering using this machine in a new project that will have incremental revenues of $35,000 per year and annual cash costs of $17,000.

- It is being decided whether or not to replace an existing piece of equipment with a newer, more productive one that costs $80,000 and has an estimated MV of $20,000 at the end of its useful life of six years. Installation charges for the new equipment will amount to $3,000; this is not added to the capital investment but will be an expensed item during the first year of operation. MACRS (GDS) depreciation (five-year property class) will be used. The new equipment will reduce direct costs (labor, maintenance, rework, etc.) by $10,000 in the first year, and this amount is expected to increase by $500 each year thereafter during its six-year life. It is also known that the BV of the fully depreciated old machine is $0 butthat its present fair MV is $14,000. The MV of the old machine will be zero in six years.

It is believed that P1,500,000 could be obtained for the old equipment if it were sold now, but it can be productively used for four more years at which time its market value will be zero. The equipment has an operating and maintenance of P600,000 per year. The firm can purchase a new machine, with the same functionality as the current machine, for P5,500,000. In four years the market value of the new machine is estimated to be P2,275,000. Annual operating and maintenance costs will be P1,850,000 per year. Should the old drilling equipment be replaced using a before-tax MARR of 15% and a study period of four years?arrow_forward

- You 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.

The old machine is expected to require out of pocket cost of 85,000 each year for 4 years and then be scared for 5,000 residual value. The new machine requires an investment of 40,000 and would have out of the pocket costs of 79,000 a year for 8 years and the zero-salvage value.
