A pallette conveyor system used to transport pallettes of product at the Browning Harvey plant in St. John's costs $250,000 plus $35,000 to install. It is estimated to depreciate at a declining balance rate of 25% per year over its 15-year useful life. Annual maintenance costs are estimated to be $9,000 for the first year, increasing by 20% every year thereafter. In addition, every third year, the rollers must be replaced at a cost of $6,000. Interest is at 9%. Construct a spreadsheet that has the following headings: Year, Salvage Value, Maintenance Costs, and the EAC of each of Capital Costs, Maintenance Costs and a Total Equivalent Annual Costs (as used in the lectures and is shown below). The economic life of the conveyor system is determined by the year that has the lowest Total Equivalent Annual Cost. Complete the row of the table below, inputting data for the row that has the lowest Total Equivalent Annual Cost from your spreadsheet for this project: NOTE: (Use 5 significant figures in your calculations and round the final answer to the nearest dollar.)

The Smith and Jones Research and Development firm has bought a new laboratory equipment (MACRS-GDS 3-year property class) to be used in a research project that will last 3 years. The cost of equipment is $750,000 but require bringing a technician to install the equipment and train the personal with an additional cost of $75,000. The equipment’s supplier will buy back the equipment at the end of the project for $50,000. The O&M costs per year incurred by the equipment are $70,000. The firm signed a contract with the DOD that states that they will receive a one lump-sum of $Y at the end of the life of the research project that will generate a rate of return of 8%. The firm will finance the equipment with a loan at 6% interest rate per year, and considering that the firm will not generate any revenue until the end of year 3, the bank has agreed that principal and accrued interests will be paid at the end of year three. Perform an ATCF analysis to determine the value of Y$ that will…

A small pump costs $24,000 and has a life of 8 years and a $1,400 SV at that time. If the 150% DB method is used to depreciate the pump, what is the BV at the end of year three? ..... Choose the correct answer below. O A. The BV at the end of year three is $13,624. B. The BV at the end of year three is $3,000. C. The BV at the end of year three is $4,558. D. The BV at the end of year three is $12,873.

A company just bought a new piece of equipment for $4.919 million. The following information is given: - after-tax annual interest rate = 17.9% - corporate tax rate = 29% - service life = 24 years - depreciation rate = 20% Calculate the present worth of the equipment's salvage value with tax effects.

An asset for drilling was purchased and placed in service by a petroleum production company. Its cost basis is $60,000, and it has an estimated MV of $12,000 at the end of an estimated useful life of 14 years. Compute the depreciation amount in the third year and the BV at the end of the fifth year of life by each of these methods: (7.3, 7.4) a. The SL method. b. The 200% DB method with switchover to SL. c. The GDS. d. The ADS.

You are considering the purchase of a new high-efficiency machine to replace older machines now. The new machine can replace four of the older machines, each with a current market value of $600. The new machine will cost $5000 and will save the equivalent of 10,000 kWh of electricity per year. After a period of 10 years, neither option (new or old) will have any market value. If you use a before-tax MARR of 25% and pay $0.075 per kilowatt-hour, would you replace the old machines today with the new one?A professor of engineering economics owns an older car. In the past 12 months, he has paid $2000 to replace the transmission, bought two new tires for $160, and installed a music system for $110. He wants to keep the car for 2 more years because he invested money 3 years ago in a 5-year certificate of deposit, which is earmarked to pay for his dream machine, a red European sports car. Today the old car’s engine failed.
