Question
A machine having a first cost of $20,000 is expected to save $1500 in the first year of operation, and the savings should increase by $200 every year until (and including) the 9th year; thereafter, the savings will decrease by $150 until (and including) the 16th year. Using equivalent uniform annual worth, is this machine economical? Assume a MARR of 10%.

- A construction firm can achieve a $15,000 cost savings in Year 1, increasing by $3000 each year for the next 5 years, by converting their diesel engines for biodiesel fuel. At an interest rate of 15%, what is the equivalent annual worth of the savings?arrow_forwardReplacing old equipment at an immediate cost of $50,000 and an additional outlay of $30,000 six years from now will result in savings of $3,000 per quarter for 12 years.

- Suppose you were considering purchasing a $5000 machine today that would generate additional net profit of $2000 booked at the end of each year. Assuming you need a 15 percent return to justify the investment, would the investment be worth doing if you had only three years of payouts? Would your answer change if you had four years of $2000 payouts? Why or why not?arrow_forwardThe company estimates that a project with an initial investment of -$25 will produce ten positive cash flows of $4.3 a year at the end of each of the next 10 years. The project's cost of capital is 11%. One year from now, there is a 40% chance that the product demand will be low, in which case the yearly cash flows will be only $2.00. One year from now, there is 60% chance that the product demand will be higher, and the yearly cash flows will be $4.8. Should the company exercise investment timing option and wait a year before proceeding? Prove numerically.arrow_forwardThe revenue from a manufacturing process (in millions of dollars per year) is projected to follow the model R=130 for 10 years. Over the same period of time, the cost (in millions of dollars per year) is projected to follow the model C-50+ 0.22, where t is the time (in years). Approximate the profit over the 10-year period.
