(Ignore income taxes in this problem) Your Company is considering buying a small aircraft for the use of its executives. The aircraft would have a useful life of 10 years. The company uses a discount rate of 7% in its capital budgeting. The net present value of the investment, excluding the value the annual increased productivity of the executives as they avoid commercial flights, is -$316,080. To the nearest whole dollar how large would the value of the annual increased productivity have to be to make the investment in the aircraft financially attractive?

Letang Industrial Systems Company (LISC) is trying to decide between two different conveyor belt systems. System A costs $320,000, has a four-year life, and requires $117,000 in pretax annual operating costs. System B costs $400,000, has a six-year life, and requires $111,000 in pretax annual operating costs. Suppose the company always needs a conveyor belt system; when one wears out, it must be replaced. Assume the tax rate is 21 percent and the discount rate is 10 percent.
Calculate the EAC for both conveyor belt systems. (A negative answer should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
