Explanation of Solution

Time period is denoted by n and the interest is denoted by i. The annual worth (AW) of defender can be calculated as follows.

AWDefender=Investment(i(1+i)n(1+i)n1)Costmaiintenance(Total miles×Cost per galonMileage)=400(0.15(1+0.15)2(1+0.15)21)8000(15,000×3.510)=6,296   

Annual worth of defender is -$6,296.

The annual worth (AW) of challenger can be calculated as follows.

AWChallenger=Investment(i(1+i)n(1+i)n1)Costmaiintenance(Total miles×Cost per galonMileage)=8,000(0.15(1+0.15)2(1+0.15)21)8000(15,000×3.530)=4,345   

Annual worth of challenger is -$4,345. Since the annual worth of the challenger is greater, replace immediately.

A radiology clinic is considering buying a new $700,000 x-ray machine, which will have no salvage value after installation because the cost of removal will be approximately equal to its sales value. Maintenance is estimated at $24,000 per year as long as the machine is owned. After 10 years the x-ray source will be depleted and the machine must be scrapped. Which of the following represents the most economic life of this x-ray machine? Solve a.One year, because it will have no salvage after installation b. Five years, because the maintenance costs are constant c. Ten years, because maintenance costs don't increase d. Cannot be determined from the information given.
You are considering developing an​ 18-hole championship golf course that requires an investment of ​$18,000,000. This investment cost includes the course​ development, club​ house, and golf carts. Once​ constructed, you expect the maintenance cost for the golf course to be ​$640,000 in the first​ year, ​$695,000 in the second year and continue to increase by $55,000 in subsequent years. The net revenue generated from selling food and beverage will be about 17​% of greens fees paid by the players. The cart fee per player is ​$20​, and 40,000 rounds of golf are expected per year. You will own and operate the course complex for 9 years and expect to sell it for ​$24,000,000. What is the greens fee per round that will provide a return on investment of 17​%? Assume that the greens fee will be increased at an annual rate of 6​%. The greens fee that will provide a return on investment of 17​% is _____ per round. ​(Round to the nearest​ cent.)
You are considering a luxury apartment building project that requires an investment of $14,500,000. The building has 60 units.

The maintenance cost will continue to increase by ​$40,000 in subsequent years. The cost to hire a manager for the building is estimated to be ​$100,000 per year. After five years of​ operation, the apartment building can be sold for ​$18,000,000. What is the annual rent per apartment unit that will provide a return on investment of 17​%?
