So much so that the company will buy a car and make the car available to its representative. The data for this solution are as follows: The cost of buying such a car is 24,000 $ and it has a service life of 5 years. The market value at the end of this life is 7,000 $. The cost of keeping the car in a garage when it is not running is 2,500 $ per year, and the total fuel-tyre-maintenance costs are 0.30 $ per kilometer. If the interest rate is 15%, how many kilometers must the sales representative travel so that the costs of both methods are equal (break-even)? (please explain)
a) 42.356
b) 43.107
c) 44.226
d) 45.340

- An auto dealership is running a promotional deal whereby they will replace your tires free of charge for the life of the vehicle when you purchase your car from them. You expect the original tires to last for 30,000 miles, and then they will need replacement every 30,000 miles thereafter. Your driving mileage averages 15,000 miles per year. A set of new tires costs $400. If you trade in the car at 150,000 miles with new tires then, what is the lump-sum present value of this deal if your personal interest rate is 12% per year?A company is currently paying a sales representative $0.50 per mile to drive her car for company business.

The cost of keeping the car in the garage during the off-hours amounts to $2,500 a year, and the cost of fuel, tires, and maintenance is 30 cents per mile. The car will be depreciated by MACRS using a recovery period of five years (20%, 32%, 19.20%, 11.52%, 11.52%).The firm's marginal tax rate is 40%. What annual mileage must the sales representative travel by car for the cost of the two options of providing transportation to be equal if the interest rate is 15%?(a) 36,345 miles (b) 41,235 miles (c) 45,233 miles (d) 47,518 milesYour company is deciding whether to purchase a durable delivery vehicle or a short-term vehicle. The durable vehicle costs $25 000 and should last five years. The short-term vehicle costs $10 000 and should last two years. If the cost of capital for the company is 15 per cent, then what is the equivalent annual cost for the best choice for the company? (Round to the nearest dollar.) $6151, short-term vehicle $5000, either vehicle $7458, long-term vehicle $5000, short-term vehicle
- Beryl's Iced Tea currently rents a bottling machine for $52 000 per year, including all maintenance expenses. It is considering purchasing a machine instead and is comparing two options: a. Purchase the machine it is currently renting for $155 000. This machine will require $21 000 per year in ongoing maintenance expenses. b. Purchase a new, more advanced machine for $265 000. This machine will require $20 000 per year in ongoing maintenance expenses and will lower bottling costs by $15 000 per year. Also, $37 000 will be spent up front training the new operators of the machine. Suppose the appropriate discount rate is 8% per year and the machine is purchased today. Maintenance and bottling costs are paid at the end of each year, as is the rental of the machine. Assume also that the machines will be depreciated via the straight-line method over seven years and that they have a ten-year life with a negligible salvage value.

The initial cost of implementation for the system is $90,000. Furthermore, it will cost $25,000 per year to maintain the system. Due to the fast nature of the business, your company can use the system for five years and there will be no salvage value at the end of the service period. Thanks to the new system, you estimate that the company will save $65,000 in operating costs each year. In addition, the increase in the effciency would bring $35,000 per year in additional revenues during the service life of the system. Given that your company's MARR is 15%, find the present worth of this investment.
