An investment of P135 000.00 is being considered for a new lathe machine. Estimated economic life of the lathe is 12 years with a salvage value of P10 000.00. Projected annual income and expenses for the investment are P80 000.00 and P30 000.00, respectively. Using an MARR of 15% compounded annually and applying PW analysis, determine if the lathe should be purchased. (Ans. Purchase is justified, P137 900.00)

A company is considering two methods for obtaining a certain part on annual basis. Method A will involve purchasing a machine for $60K with a life of 5 years, a $3K salvage value and a fixed annual operating cost of $10K. Additionally, each part produced by the method will cost $10. Method B will involve purchasing the part from a subcontractor for $27 per part. At an interest rate of 10% per year, What is the number of parts (in x thousands) per year required for the two methods to break even ? A. 1480 B.1490 C. 1500 which is it and why
A computer system can be purchased for $18,000. The operating costs will be $10,000 per year, and the useful life is expected to be 5 years with a $5,000 salvage value at that time. The present annual sales volume should increase by $16,000 as a result of acquiring the system. Assume the company's tax rate is 50%. Using a straight-line deprecation method, compute annual taxes and IRR for the investment. Rework the previous problem assuming (i) the system's taxable life is 8 years with a salvage value of $2,000, but that (ii) the company still salvages the system after 5 years for $5,000. Describe how this may affect cash flow in the forthcoming years.
. A new engine will cost P12,000 with an estimated life of 15 years and a salvage value of P800 and guaranteed to have an operating cost of P3500 per year. The new engine is considered as a replacement of the old one. The old engine had a total annual cost of P5,200 to operate. Determine the rate of return of the new investment using 6% sinking fund to recover depreciation, if the old engine could be sold now for P2000.
