A machine cost $450,000 to purchase. Fuel, oil, grease, and minor maintenance areestimated to cost $55.00 per operating hour. A set of tires cost $18,000 to replace, and theirestimated life is 3,100 use hours. A $27,000 major repair will probably be required after6,200 hr of use. The machine is expected to last for 9,300 hr, after which it will be sold at aprice (salvage value) equal to 20% of the original purchase price. A final set of new tireswill not be purchased before the sale. How much should the owner of the machine chargeper hour of use, if it is expected that the machine will operate 3,100 hr per year? Thecompany’s cost of capital (interest) rate is 8.3%.
Engineer Layla purchased a dump truck worth P850,000. She added P50,000for the delivery and other expenses. The said equipment is expected to be useful for 10 years. At the end of its life, it will cost x% of the first cost. Using SLM, its book value at year 5 is P517,500. What is the value of x?
A man bought an equipment which cost P520,000.00. Freight and installation expenses cost him 31,000.00. If the life of the equipment is 15 years with an estimated salvage value of P120,000.00, find its book value after 8 years.

- A currently owned shredder for use in a refuse-powered electrical generating plant has a present net realizable value of $210,000 and isexpected to have a market value of $10,000 after 4 years. Operating andmaintenance disbursements are $100,000 per year. An equivalent shredder can be leased for $200 per day plus $80 per hour of actual use as determined by an hour meter, with both components assumed to be paid at the end of the year. Actual use is expected to be 1,500 hours and 250 days per year. Using a 4-year planning horizon and a MARR of 15%, determine the preferred alternative using the annual cost criterion. Solve, a. Consider only the above information and use the cash flow approach (insider’s viewpoint approach). b. Consider the additional information that the annual cost of operating without a shredder is $190,000 and use the cash flow approach (insider’s viewpoint approach).arrow_forwardA P650 000.00 - Diesel Electric generator unit is purchased to provide power to a remote town.
