AMT, Inc., is considering the purchase of a digital camera for maintenance of design specifications by feeding digital pictures directly into an engineering workstation where computer-aided design files can be superimposed over the digital pictures. Differences between the two images can be noted, and corrections, as appropriate, can then be made by design engineers.
a. You have been asked by management to determine the PW of the EVA of this equipment, assuming the following estimates: capital
investment equals=$356,000;
market value at end of year
six equals=$127,000;
annual
revenus = $127,000;
annual
expenses = $10,000;
equipment
life equals=6
years; effective income tax
rate equals=22%;
and after-tax
MARRequals=12%
per year. MACRS depreciation will be used with a five-year recovery period.
b. Compute the PW of the equipment's ATCFs.
Jane Livingston, an industrial engineer at Energy Conservation Service, hasfound that the anticipated profitability of a newly developed water-heaterthe temperature-control device can be measured by net present worth as PW = 5.63V(4.3X - $15) - 33,580 where Vis the number of units produced and sold and X is the sales price per unit. She also found that the V parameter value could occur anywhere in the range of 1,500 to 5,000 units and the X parameter value anywhere between $10 and $35 per unit. Develop a sensitivity graph as a function of the number of units produced and sales price per unit.
1.b You are faced with a decision on an investment proposal. Specifically, the estimated additional income from the investment is $125,000 per year; the investment cost is $400,000; and the first year estimated expense of $20,000 and will increase a rate of 5% per year. Assume an 8-year analysis period, no salvage value, and MARR = 15% per year. What is the ERR ( Ԑ=MARR) of this proposal?
