An adoption of a new system will lead to a reduction of the cost by as much as 18%. The cost of the new system is PhP103,542 once installed and the annual charges for taxes and insurance is 7% of the initial cost. Without he new system, the cost currently incurred is PhP248,847. If the new system will have no worth after 10 years of use, and a minimum return of 11% is desired, compute for the rate of return.

Assume the following facts: A project will cost RM45 000 to develop. When the system becomes operational, after a one-year development period, operational costs will be RM9000 during each year of the system’s five year useful life. The system will produce benefits of RM30 000 in the first year of operation, and this figure will increase by 10% each year. When is the payback period for this project? Using the same facts, what is the ROI for this project? Using the same facts, what is the NPV for this project? (*Assuming 12% rate)
Determine the NPV for the following: An information system will cost $95,000 to implement over aone-year period and will produce no savings during that year. When the system goes online, the companywill save $30,000 during the first year of operation. For the next four years, the savings will be$20,000 per year. Assuming a 12% discount rate, what is the NPV of the system?
Mellon Bank wants to experiment by adding a robot drive through at a cost of $226,000. The robot is expected to have a four year life and be sold for $76,000 at the end of its useful life. The belt is expected to lower labor by 180,000 each year as well as increase maintenance by 12,000 each year. Their working capital is not expected to change much. The required rate of return is 7%. What is the net present value of this investment?
Assumption Corporation is considering replacing an obsolete machine with a new machine. The new machine would cost P250,000 and would have a ten-year useful life. The new machine would cost P12,000 per year to operate and maintain, but would save P55,000 per year in labor and other costs. The old machine can be sold now for P10,000. The simple rate of return on the new machine is closest to: a. 17.9% b. 7.5% c. 22.0% d. 7.2%
The construction division of WTG Construction estimates that the annual maintenance cost of a highway pavement are P20,000. The placement of the new surface would reduce the annual maintenance costs to P5,000 per year for the first five years and to P10,000 per year for the next five years. The annual maintenance cost after 10 years would again be P20,000. if the maintenance costs are the only savings, what minimum investment that can be justified for the new surface if the interest rate is 4%? show your solution

A temporary warehouse can be built for $10 million and its salvage value when decommissioned is zero. The annual revenue from the sale of storage space minus maintenance and operating costs is estimated at $3 million. If the attractive minimum rate of return is 13% per year and the warehouse is used for 8 years, does the investment matter? What is the minimum useful life for the construction to be interesting?
Bowser Company's required rate of return is 14%. The company is considering the purchase of three machines, as indicated below. Consider each machine independently. (Ignore income taxes in this problem.) Required: Machine A will cost $20,000 and will have a useful life of 15 years. Its salvage value will be $1,800, and cost savings are projected at $4,000 per year. Calculate the machine's net present value. How much should Bowser Company be willing to pay for Machine B if the machine promises annual cash inflows of $6,000 per year for eight years? Machine C has a projected life of ten years. What is the machine's internal rate of return if it costs $40,000 and will save 7,000 annually in cash operating costs? Would you recommend to Bowser Company to purchase Machine C? Explain.
Chevrolet Corporation is considering replacing an obsolete machine with a new machine. The new machine would cost P250,000 and would have a ten-year useful life.

Two alternative pumps are being compared. Pump A costs $5200, will save $1275 per year in operating and maintenance expenses, and is expected to last for 6 years. Pump B costs $6000, will save $1550 per year, and is also expected to last for 6 years. If the cost of capital is 12%, which has the better discounted payback period?
