Veritas Inc. has decided to acquire a new Hydraulic Excavator. It has three options. Caterpillar: purchase cost of $354,055 and operating costs of $28,121 per year (paid at the end of each year). John Deere: purchase cost of $288,413 and operating costs of $21,091 per year (paid at the end of each year). Volvo: purchase cost of $323,238 and operating costs of $15,484 per year (paid at the end of each year). Assume that Geek Inc. has a budget of $335,269 and all excavators have a service life of 13 years. Based on the defender-challenger approach and given that the MARR is 10%, compute the incremental Benefit-Cost ratio of choosing the best excavator (note: round your answer to two decimal places; do not include spaces, dollar signs, or commas). Indicate your recommendation as follows: - answer "0" (without the commas) if your recommendation is the Caterpillar; - answer "1" (without the commas) if your recommendation is the John Deere; - write down as your answer the value of the…

Your company is planning to expand by taking over the next-door manufacturing facility. You are faced with a buy-versus-lease option. The purchase price is $1.5 million, while you can lease it for $270,000 per year for 10 years. If purchased, it can be sold for 40% of its original price at the end of its 10 years life. In either case the annual income is estimated to be $1.2 million and the annual operating cost would be $300,000. Your company pays 38% combined income tax and the after-tax minimum attractive rate of return (MARR) is 10%. Assuming lease payments are due at the end of the year and using a straight-line depreciation over the 10 years life with full first year depreciation, determine: a. The EUAW = EUAB-EUAC for each option with MARR = 10%. Should the facility be purchased or leased? b. The break-even rate of return of purchase versus lease, i.e. ROR at which (EUAB – EUAC) purchase = (EUAB - EUAC) lease
The plant manager at a company would like to perform an analysis for a new $250,000 machine. She estimates benefits of $20,000 in the first year, and benefits are increasing by 10% per year. 1) What is the payback period for the machine? 2)Suppose that the machine life is 15 years and machine has a salvage value of 20% of the initial cost at the end of its useful life. If the MARR of the company is 11 % per year, is this investment acceptable? Why?
The Titanic Shipbuilding Company has a noncancelable contract to build a small cargo vessel. Construction involves a cash outlay of $265,000 at the end of each of the next two years. At the end of the third year, the company will receive payment of $625,000. The company can speed up construction by working an extra shift. In this case, there will be a cash outlay of $575,000 at the end of the first year followed by a cash payment of $625,000 at the end of the second year. Use the IRR rule to show the (approximate) range of opportunity costs of capital at which the company should work the extra shift Please answer fast I give you upvote
