5.26 An industrial engineer is considering two robots for purchase by a fiber-optic manufacturing com- pany. Robot X will have a first cost of $80,000, an annual maintenance and operation (M&O) cost of S30,000, and a $40,000 salvage value. Robot Y will have a first cost of $97,000, an annual M&O cost of $27,000, and a $50,000 salvage value. Which should be selected on the basis of a future worth comparison at an interest rate of 15% per year? Use a 3-year study period.

28. A certain machine has book value of P140,452.78 after 5 years and P66,037.08 after 8 years. The book value is computed using Constant Percentage Method. Determine the initial cost of the equipment and its salvage value in its economic life of 10 years.
5 The first cost of an electric rebar bender is P306,000 and a salvage value of P49,000 at the end of its life for 5 years. Money is worth 4.3% annually. If there is no salvage value and the annual maintenance cost is P18,000, find the annual cost of perpetual service. Express your answer in whole number.
Scientific Instruments, Inc. uses a MARR of 8% per year. The company is evaluating a new process to reduce water effluents from its manufacturing processes. The estimate associated with the process follows. New Process First Cost, $ -40,000 NCF, S per year 13,000 Salvage value, S 5000 Life. years In evaluating the process on the basis of a rate of return analysis, the correct equation to use is: Select one O a. Any of the answers are correct O b. 0= - 40,000 + 13,000( P/A, i,3) + 5000( P/F, i,3) Oc. 0= - 40,000( F/Pi 3) + 13,000( F/A.i 3) + 5000 O d. 0= - 40,000( A/Pi 3) + 13,000 + 5000( A/F, i,3)

A recapping plant is planning to acquire a new Diesel generating set to replace its present unit which they run during brownouts. The new set would cost P135,000 with a five (5) year-life, and no estimated salvage value. Variable cost would be P150,000 a year. The present generating set has a book value of P75,000 and a remaining life of 5 years. Its disposal value now is P7,500, but it would be zero after 5 years. Variable operating cost would be P187,500 a year. Money is worth 10%. What is the Rate of return on additional investment in percentage?
