- A student is considering the purchase of two alternative cars. Car A initially costs $1,500 more than Car B, but uses 0.05 gallons per mile, versus 0.07 gallons per mile for Car B. Both cars will last for 10 years, and B’s market value is $800 less than A’s. Fuel costs $4.00 per gallon. If all else is equal, at how many miles driven per year does Car A become preferable to Car B? (a) 875 (b) 1,167 (c) 1,723 (d) 1,892arrow_forwardProblem 2 Billy's Pizza Parlor is considering the purchase of a large oven and related equipment for mixing and baking Billy's Favorite Bread. The oven and equipment would cost $180,000 delivered and installed. It would be usable for about 10 years, after which it would have a 10% scrap value. The following additional information is available. Joey estimates that the purchase of the oven and equipment would allow the pizza parlor and restaurant to bake and sell 100,000 loaves of Billy's Favorite Bread each year. Billy's Favorite Bread sells for $2.50 per loaf. The cost of the ingredients in a loaf of bread is 40% of the selling price. Joey estimates that other costs each year associated with the bread would be as follows: salaries, $68,000; utilities, $20,000; and insurance, $9,000. The pizza parlor will use the straight-line depreciation on all assets, deducting salvage value from original cost.

- A business is considering purchasing a piece of new equipment for $200,000. The equipment will generate the following revenues: Year 1: $50,000Year 2: $50,000Year 3: $50,000Year 4: $60,000The machine can be sold at the end of the year four for $25,000. Assume a discount of 8%. 3. Based on your above calculations, should they purchase the new piece of equipment? Why?arrow_forwardNote:- not use of the excel Q)You plan to purchase a new TIG welder for your company. It will cost $2,800 now and will need $60 in repairs at the end of the 3rd year and $130 in repairs at the end of the 4th year. It will be sold for scrap metal for $115 at the end of the 5th year. With an 7.25% APR compounded monthly, what is the present worth of the welder? Answer should be rounded to the nearest cent (ie two decimal places).arrow_forwardAssignment Scenario:Jerry wants to buy an assisted Living Facility in his home town. Currently, the facility makes a profit each year of $10,000. However, the current director mentioned that if Jerry and his company wanted to perform a remodeling on the facility, that he could increase the room rates and make a profit of $40,000 annually. The facility is currently listed for sale for $650,000. However, a local real estate agent for long-term care facilities explained to Jerry that the likelihood of keeping at full capacity after raising the room rates is 70%. Round your answers to the nearest 10th of a decimal ( 14.42659 = 14.4)1. Calculate the Return on Investment (ROI) if the remodel is not done within the first year, we will call this, scenario 1.2. Calculate the ROI for the second scenario, if we are able to remodel and charge more for rooms.3. Calculate the Expected Value of both scenarios. REMEMBER, the likelihood is 70% and the chance it will not happen is 30%.arrow_forward

- Question 17 Boyertown Industrial Tools is considering a 2-year project to improve its production efficiency. They have spent $25,000 over the previous year researching a new machine press. Buying the new machine press for $500,000 is estimated to result in $300,000 in annual pretax cost savings and will provide quarterly dividends of $2,500 to the shareholders. The press falls in the MACRS three-year class, and it will have a salvage value at the end of the project of $100,000. The press also requires an initial investment in spare parts inventory of $50,000, along with an additional $5,000 in inventory for each succeeding year of the project. If the tax rate is 35, what is the aftertax salvage value for the machine press?
