You are considering a hydraulic excavator. This machine will have an estimated service life of 10 years, with a salvage value of 10% of the investment cost. Its expected savings from annual operating and maintenance costs are estimated to be SR 60,000. To expect a 14% rate of return on investment, what would be the maximum amount that you are willing to pay for the machine: (Choose the closest answer) Hint: solve for the capital cost (I) by equating recovery cost (CR) with operating and maintenance cost (OC). a) SR 297,594 b) SR 355,104 c) SR 250,417 d) SR 321,643 e) SR 356,218
A semiconductor chip maker purchased a small manufacturing process plant for
$2,131,020. The money coming in from that purchase was determined to be
$500,000 annually in before-tax cash flow during its 10-year use. The net cash flow
after tax is $300,000. If the chip maker wants to realize a 10% return on its
investment after tax, for how many more years should the plant operate? (hint,
tables)
A new municipal refuse-collection truck can be purchased for $84,000. Its expected useful life is six years, at which time its market value will be zero. Annual receipts less expenses will be approximately $18,000 per year over the six-year study period. At MARR of 19%, calculate the return on investment of the project.

- The General Mills Company (GMC) purchased a milling machine for $90,000, which it intends to use for the next five years. This machine is expected to save GMC $31,000 during the first operating year. Then the annual savings are expected to decrease by 2% each subsequent year over the previous year due to increased maintenance costs. Assuming that GMC would operate the machine for an average of 4,000 hours per year and that it would have no appreciable salvage value at the end of the five-year period, determine the equivalent dollar savings per operating hour at 9% interest compounded annually. The equivalent net savings are $ per operating hour.arrow_forwardMaintenance money for an athletic complex has been sought. Mr. Kendall, the Athletic Director, would like to solicit a donation to cover all future expected maintenance costs for the building. These maintenance costs are expected to be $1.4 million each year for the first five years, $1.7 million each year for years 6 through 10, and $ million each year after that. (The building has an indefinite service life.) If the money is placed in an account that will pay 5% interest compounded annually, how large should the gift be? The gift should be $_____million.

This machine is expected to save GMC $37,000 during the first operating year. Then the annual savings are expected to decrease by 4% each subsequent year over the previous year due to increased maintenance costs. Assuming that GMC would operate the machine for an average of 4,000 hours per year and that it would have no appreciable salvage value at the end of the five-year period, determine the equivalent dollar savings per operating hour at 8% interest compounded annually.

- A machine that costs $12,000 is expected to operate for 10 years. The estimated salvage value at the end of 10 years is $0. The machine is expected to save the company $2,331 per year before taxes and depreciation. The company depreciates its assets on a straight-line basis and has a marginal tax rate of 40 percent. The firm's cost of capital is 14 percent. What is the internal rate of return (IRR) for the machine? Based on the IRR criterion, should this machine be purchased?arrow_forwardsolve it using manual computation; do not use Microsoft Excel The Ajax Corporation has an overhead crane that has an estimated remaining life of 10 years. The crane can be sold now for $8,000. If the crane is kept in service, it must be overhauled immediately at a cost of $5,000. Operating and maintenance costs will be $3,000 per year after the crane is overhauled. The overhauled crane will have zero MV at the end of the 8-year study period. A new crane will cost $20,000, will last for 8 years, and will have a $4,000 MV at that time. Operating and maintenance costs are $1,000 per year for the new crane. The company uses a before-tax interest rate of 10% per year in evaluating investment alternatives.

Its maximum useful life is 8 years. The expected market value (MV) of the machine at the end of year 1 is $100,000, and it is expected to decline by $15,000 each year afterwards. The annual operating cost (AOC) is projected to be $75,000 during the first year of operation, and it is expected to rise by 15% every year afterwards. Assuming 11% minimum attractive rate of return, calculate the economic service life of the machine. Your calculations need to include a table with the following columns: Year, MV, AOC, Capital Recovery, Annual Worth (AW) of AOC, and Total AW. Illustrate your analysis with a properly labeled chart, featuring the number of years of service on the horizontal axis, and capital recovery, annual worth of the AOC, and total annual worth on the vertical axis (click to format the vertical axis and check the box “Values in reverse order” so that the axis displays rising cost as movement up).

The binary geothermal system will cost $85 million to build and $6 million (including any income-tax effect) to operate per year. (Unlike a conventional fossil fuel plant, this system will require virtually no fuel costs.) The geothermal plant is to last 25 years. At the end of that time, the expected salvage value will be about the same as the cost to remove the plant. The plant will be in operation for 70% (the plant-utilization factor) of the year (or 70% of 8,760 hours per year). If the firm's MARR is 14% per year, determine the cost of generating electricity per kilowatt-hour.arrow_forward
