An industrial machine costing $10,000 will produce net cash savings of $4,000 per year. The machine has a five-year useful life but must be returned to the factory for major repairs after three years of operation. These repairs cost $5,000. The company's MARR is 10% per year. What IRR will be earned on the purchase of this machine? Analyze the sensitivity of IRR to ± $2,000 changes in the repair cost. Perform the sensitivity analysis. Fill-in the table below. (Round to one decimal place.) Change in the repair cost - $2,000 $0 IRR 21.05% 9.61 % Is the project acceptable? Yes No

You work for Midstates Solar Power. A manager asked you to analyze the following two machines. Machine Semi has a first cost of $50,000 and an operating cost of $15,000 in year 1, increasing by $1500 every two years through year 6, after which time it will have a salvage value of $10,000. Machine Auto has a first cost of $50,000 and an operating cost of $20,000 in year 1, increasing by 5% per year through year 6, after which time it will have a salvage value of $15,000. Utilize an interest rate of 12% per year to determine both estimates. a) Which machine will have the lower capital recovery cost? b) Which machine will have the lower equivalent annual total cost?

The property appraisal district for Marin County has just installed new software to track residential market values for property tax computations. The manager wants to know the total equivalent cost of all future costs incurred when the three county judges agreed to purchase the software system. If the new system will be used for the indefinite future, find the equivalent value (a) now and (b) for each year hereafter. The system has an installed cost of $150,000 and an additional cost of $50.000 after 10 years. The annual software maintenance contract cost is $5000 for the first 4 years and $8000 thereafter. In addition, there is expected to be a recurring major upgrade cost of $15,000 every 13 years. Assume that = 5% per year for county funds.
