23 Not yet anwered Points out of 3.00 Pgquestion A contractor has purchased a wheel loader for $115,000 and plans to use it 2,000 hours per year. The cost of one set of tires is $25,000. At this usage rate, the contractor anticipates disposing of the loader after using it for 10 years and realizing a salvage value of $35,000. The flywheel horsepower rating of the loader's diesel engine is 105 horsepower. The interest rate is 10%. The loader operator will earn $34.00 per hour including fringe benefits, and diesel fuel costs $1.20 per gallon. How much is the contractor's hourly ownership cost for the loader if using time value of money analysis? Select one: O a. $8.27/hr Ob. $9.37/hr Oc $7.34/hr O d. $6.23/hr
Question 17 options: 8-7. Disposal of asset. Dump It is selling a machine that no longer is large enough for the production requirements. Dump It has had the machine for 3 years and has depreciated it using the straight-line method. Original cost had been $98,000, and salvage was estimated at $6,000. The machine had been expected to last for 8 years. (in all answers round to nearest dollar; do not use "$" or commas in your answer)

11 DeCento's is analyzing two mutually exclusive machines to determine which one it should purchase. Whichever machine is purchased, it will be replaced at the end of its useful life. The company requires a return of 15 percent and uses straight-line depreciation to a zero book value over the life of the machine. Machine A has a cost of $386,000, annual operating costs of $29,000, and life of 4 years. Machine B costs $257,000, has annual operating costs of $19,000, and a life of 3 years. The firm currently pays no taxes. Which machine should be purchased?
Paragraph Styles Ad 4. Asset Replacement Decision Birch Company owns a piece of equipment that cost $95,000, Currently, the equipment's book value is $43,000 and its expected remaining useful life is four years. The salvage value of the truck in 4 years is expected to be $20,000. Birch has the opportunity to purchase for $108,000 replacement equipment that is extremely efficient. In four years, the new equipment would have a salvage value of $75,000. Maintenance cost for the old equipment is expected to be $5,500 per year and maintenance on the new equipment is expected to be $2,500 per year. The old equipment is paid for but, in spite of being in good condition, can be sold for only $34,400 currently. Should Birch replace the old equipment with the new efficient equipment, or should it continue to use the old equipment until it wears out? Include your calculations with your answer. unour Answer:
QUESTION NO. 25 Union Pacific is considering the elimination of a railroad grade crossing by constructing a dual track overpass. The railroad subcontracts for maintenance of its crossing gates at $11,500 per year. Beginning 4 years from now, however, the costs are expected to increase by 10% per year into the foreseeable future (that is, $12,650 in year 4, $13,915 in year 5, etc.). If the railroad uses a 10-year study period and an interest rate of 15% per year, how much could the railroad afford to spend now on the overpass in lieu of the maintenance contracts?

REPLACEMENT ANALYSIS The Dauten Toy Corporation currently uses an injection molding machine that was purchased 2 years ago. This machine is being depreciated on a straight-line basis, and it has 6 years of remaining life. Its current book value is 2,100, and it can be sold for 2,500 at this time. Thus, the annual depreciation expense is 2,100/6 = 350 per year. If the old machine is not replaced, it can be sold for 500 at the end of its useful life. 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. This machine falls into the MACRS 5-year class so the applicable depreciation rates are 20%, 32%, 19%, 12%, 11%, and 6%. 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 40%, and its WACC is 15%. Should it replace the old machine?

Replace equipment A machine with a book value of 80,000 has an estimated five-year life. A proposal is offered to sell the old machine for 50,500 and replace it with a new machine at a cost of 75,000. The new machine has a five-year life with no residual value. The new machine would reduce annual direct labor costs from 11,200 to 7,400. Prepare a differential analysis dated April 11 on whether to continue with the old machine (Alternative 1) or replace the old machine (Alternative 2).
