Eight years ago, Ohio Valley Trucking purchased a large-capacity dump truck for $124,000 to provide short-haul earth-moving services. The company sold it today for $45,000. Operating and maintenance costs averaged $11,300 per year. A complete overhaul at the end of year 3 costs an extra $3600. Calculate the annual cost of the truck at i = 8% per year.

Filkins Fabric Company is considering the replacement of its old, fully depreciated knitting machine. Two new models are available: Machine 190-3, which has a cost of $190,000, a 3-year expected life, and after-tax cash flows (labor savings and depreciation) of $87,000 per year; and Machine 360-6, which has a cost of $360,000, a 6-year life, and after-tax cash flows of $98,300 per year. Knitting machine prices are not expected to rise because inflation will be offset by cheaper components (microprocessors) used in the machines. Assume that Filkins’ cost of capital is 14%. Should the firm replace its old knitting machine? If so, which new machine should it use? By how much would the value of the company increase if it accepted the better machine? What is the equivalent annual annuity for each machine?
Calculate the hourly operating cost (under average conditions) for a 180- horsepower motor grader which costs $230,000 and is used in general contracting for 1500 hours per year for 10 years. The per gallon price of diesel fuel is $2.90. Salvage value is estimated to be $85,000 and a set of tires costs $5,000 for 2000 hours of average useful life. Assume a repair factor of 40% based on 10,000 hours of useful life as a percentage of hourly straight-line depreciation. (Use discount rate of 8%).
Eight years ago, the Blank Block Building Company installed an automated conveyor system for $38,000. When the conveyor is replaced, the net cost of removal will be $2500. The minimum EUAC of a new conveyor is $6500. When should the conveyor be replaced if BBB’s MARR is 12%? The O&M costs for the next 5 years are $5K, $6K, $7K, $8K, and $9K.
The equipment needed to manufacture a product costs $1,000,000 to purchase. This equipment has a life of 5 years and a salvage value of $100,000. Fixed costs for this equipment are $50,000 per year while variable costs are $200 per unit of finished product. Assuming that an annual interest of 6% is used to account for the time value of money: (a) Find the equivalent uniform annual cost associated with this equipment when 10,000 units of finished product are produced each year. (b) Now suppose that each unit of finished product generates $300 in revenue. How many units need to be produced each year in order to break even on this equipment?
Four years ago, a firm purchased an industrial batch oven for $23,000. The oven had an estimated life of IO years with $1,000 salvage value. These original estimates are still good. If sold now, the machine will bring in $2,000. If sold at the end of the year, it will bring in $1,500. The market value after the first year has decreased at annual rate of 25%. Annual operating costs for subsequent years are $3,800. A new machine will cost $50,000 and have a 12-year life with a $3,000 salvage value. The operating cost for the new machine will be $3,000 as of the end of each year, where the $6,000-per-year savings are due to better quality control. If the firm's MARR is 10%, should the new machine be purchased now?
A small chemical manufacture company needs to replace an old high-shear mixer. Two different models have been proposed. . Model A costs $250,000 for purchasing and installation. The model has service life of 6 years and at the end of the sixth year has estimated salvage value of $50,000. The model in the first year has an operational and maintenance (O&M) cost of $24,000 and the cost increases each year by 5% over the previous year's O&M cost. • Model B costs $175,000 for purchasing and installation. The model has service life of 3 years and at the end of the third year has estimated salvage value of $30,000. The model in the first year has an operational and maintenance (O&M) cost of $11,000 and the cost increases each year by 7% over the previouS year's O&M cost. It the company has MARR of 10%, select the correct statement. O Select Model A because it has annual equivalent cost of $77,764 which is less than Model B O Select Model B because it has annual equivalent cost of $73,044…
A company sells Gizmos to consumers at a price of $90 per unit. The costs to produce Gizmos is $38 per unit. The company will sell 14,000 Gizmos to consumers each year. The fixed costs incurred each year will be $180,000. There is an initial investment to produce the goods of $3,800,000 which will be depreciated straight line over 11 year life of the investment to a salvage value of $0.

Given a net present value of $-498, 047.3, should the company accept or reject this project? D. Find the net present value break-even level of units sold. Round your answer to the nearest whole unit
Machine A was purchased last year for $20,000 and had an estimated MV of $2,000 at the end of its six-year life. Annual operating costs are $2,000. The machine will perform satisfactorily over the next five years. A salesperson for another company is offering a replacement, Machine B, for $14,000, with an MV of $1,400 after five years. Annual operating costs for Machine B will only be $1,400. A trade-in allowance of $10,400 has been offered for Machine A. If the before-tax MARR is 12% per year, should you buy the new machine? Solve, (a) No, continue with Machine A. (b) Yes, purchase Machine B.
A company is planning to purchase a machine that will cost 240,000, have a six-year life, and be depreciated over a six-year period with no salvage value. The company expects to sell the machine's output of 30,000 units evenly throughout each year. A projected income statement for each year of the asset's life appears below. What is the accounting rate of return for this machine? Sales Costs: 900,000 Manufacturing 520,000 Depreciation on machine 40,000 Selling and administrative expenses 300,000 (860,000) Income before taxes 40,000 Income tax (25%) (10,000) Net Income 30,000 Choices: 4% 8% 16.7% 25% 12.5%

The maintenance of a machine in a manufacturing plant currently costs a company $9,000 every year (paid at the end of each year) with the cost increasing by $1,000 each subsequent year. Because of this, the plant manager is considering replacing this machine with a newer one which would cost $10,000 to purchase today, and then $7,300/year increasing by $400 in each year to maintain (also paid at the end of the year). If the company's MARR is at 15% per year compounded annually, what would be the discounted payback period (in years) for this proposed investment?
The cost of equipment to apply epoxy paint to a warehouse floor is $1400. Materials and supplies (masking tape, surface repair material, solvents, cleanup supplies, etc.) will cost $2.03 per ft2. Alternatively, a contractor can be hired annually to do the job for $3.25 per ft2. If the cost of the equipment will be recovered at i = 10% per year over a 3-year period with no salvage value, the number of square feet that must be treated each year to justify the equipment purchase is closest to: (a) 460 ft2 (b) 953 ft2 (c) 1148 ft2 (d) 2457 ft2
