Engineers have suggested a new piece of machinery to boost the productivity of a certain manual soldering process. The equipment will cost $25,000 to invest in, and at the conclusion of its anticipated five-year lifespan, it will be worth $5,000 in the market (as salvage). After deducting additional running expenses from the value of the higher production, the equipment's increased productivity will amount to $8,000 per year. Assume that =MARR = 20% annually. What is the ERR for the project, and is it a good project? sketch out a cash flow diagram.
A student plans to deposit P1,500 in the bank now and another P3,000 for the next two years. If he plans to withdraw P5,000 three years from after his last deposit for the purpose of buying shoes, what will be the amount of money left in the bank after one year of his withdrawal? The effective annual rate of interest is 10%.
You are being asked to evaluate the worthiness of an investment that requires you to spend $120,000 today in return for receiving $25,000 each year for seven years (starting one year from now). At the end of the seven year study period, the investment can be sold for $10,000. The MARR = 12% per year.
Compute the AW of this investment. Round your answer to the nearest dollar.
Answer should be -301
