Company A is considering two alternatives. Machine A has a first cost of $15,000. The life is 6 years and it has an annual maintenance and operating cost of $1,500. Machine B has a first cost of $18,000, a life of 8 years and a salvage value of $1,500. The annual operating cost is $1,000. Which machine should be used to justify the purchase of such machine if money is worth 7% and calculate the difference between the equivalent annual worths.

Dauten is offered a replacement machine which has a cost of 8,000, an estimated useful life of 6 years, and an estimated salvage value of 800. The replacement machine is eligible for 100% bonus depreciation at the time of purchase- The replacement machine would permit an output expansion, so sales would rise by 1,000 per year; even so, the new machines much greater efficiency would cause operating expenses to decline by 1,500 per year The new machine would require that inventories be increased by 2,000, but accounts payable would simultaneously increase by 500. Dautens marginal federal-plus-state tax rate is 25%, and its WACC is 11%. Should it replace the old machine?
The Ham and Egg Restaurant is considering an investment in a new oven that has a cost of $60,000, with annual net cash flows of $9,950 for 8 years. The required rate of return is 6%. Compute the net present value of this investment to determine whether or not you would recommend that Ham and Egg invest in this oven.
Trailer Treasures Inc. is considering two projects and must do one of them. Project A requires an investment of $35,000. Estimated annual receipts for 5 years are $14,000; estimated annual costs are $4,500.

2) An existing machine in the factory has an annual maintenance cost of 40,000. A new and more efficient machine will require an investment of 90,000 and it is estimated to have a salvage value of 30,000 at the end of 8 years. Its annual expenses for maintenance is 22,000. If the company's MARR is 12%, will it be worthwhile to purchase the new machine using (a) Present Worth Method? (B method?
Mio is going to buy a new machine for manufacturing its product: Machine A has a first cost of P50,000; annual maintenance P6,000; life 12 years and salvage value of P2,000.

Two different mutually exclusive alternatives can be used for producing a certain machine part. Alternative A will have a first cost of $60,000 with a $15,000 salvage value after its 3 year life. The operating cost with this method will be $35,000 per year. Alternative B will cost $45,000, but it will last only 2 years. Its salvage value is $10,000 with an operating cost of $25,000 per year. Using an MARR value of 12% per year, which method should be selected?
A new production system for a factory is to be purchased and installed for $135331. This system will save approximately 300,000 kWh of electric power each year for a 6-year period. Assume the cost of electricity is $0.10 per kWh, and factory MARR is 15% per year, and the salvage value of the system will be $8662 at year 6. Using the PW method to analyzes if this investment is economically justified A- calculate the PW of the above investment and insert the result below.
One of two methods must be used to produce expansion anchors. Method A costs $75,000 initially and will have a $19,000 salvage value after 3 years. The operating cost with this method will be $23,000 per year. Method B will have a first cost of $110,000, an operating cost of $19,000 per year, and a $31,000 salvage value after its 3-year life. The interest rate for both the methods is 11%. Which method should be used on the basis of a present worth analysis? The present worth of method A is (about -117,000) and that of method B is (is not about -172,000)

Two different types of hydraulic equipment are being considered for a certain power plant. Machine A has a first cost of P15,000, and a salvage value of P1,500, life is 6 years and has an annual maintenance an operating cost of P900. Machine B has a first cost of P18,000, life of 8 years with no salvage value. Annual operating cost is P750. Which machine would be used to justify the purchase of such machine if money is worth 7% and compute the difference between its equivalent present worth? Show solutions.
One of two methods must be used to produce expansion anchors. Method A costs $80,000 initially and will have a $15,000 salvage value after 3 years. The operating cost with this method will be $30,000 per year. Method B will have a first cost of $120,000, an operating cost of $8000 per year, and a $40,000 salvage value after its 3-year life. At an interest rate of 12% per year, which method should be used on the basis of a present worth analysis? Also, write the two spreadsheet functions to perform the PW analysis.
Warehouse A with a life of 10 years can be constructed now for $100,000 with no repair costs and a salvage value of $10,000. Alternatively, warehouse B with a life of 12 years can be constructed for $70,000 now with a salvage value of $5000, but requires $18,000 worth of repairs every 3 years. Both have equal usefulness and are needed indefinitely. Assuming the cost of money is 6%, which warehouse is a better deal and by most nearly how much per year?
