Rust Industrial Systems Company is trying to decide between two different conveyor belt systems. System A costs $320,000, has a four-year life, and requires $117,000 in pretax annual operating costs. System B costs $400,000, has a six-year life, and requires $111,000 in pretax annual operating costs. Suppose the company always needs a conveyor belt system; when one wears out, it must be replaced. Assume the tax rate is 21 percent and the discount rate is 10 percent. Calculate the EAC for both conveyor belt systems. (A negative answer should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

The Elberta Fruit Farm of Ontario is considering buying a cherry-picking machine to replace the part-time workers it usually hires to harvest its annual cherry crop. The machine shakes the cherry tree, causing the cherries to fall onto plastic tarps that funnel the cherries into bins. The company gathered the following information: The farm pays part-time workers $200,000 per year to pick the cherries. The cherry picker would cost $540,000, have a 8-year useful life with no salvage value, and be depreciated using the straight-line method. The cherry picker’s annual out-of-pocket costs would be cost of an operator and an assistant, $85,000; insurance, $4,000; fuel, $12,000; and a maintenance contract, $15,000. Click here to view Exhibit 14B-1 and Exhibit 14B-2, to determine the appropriate discount factor(s) using tables. Required: 1. Calculate the annual savings in cash operating costs provided by the cherry picker. 2a. Compute the cherry picker’s simple rate of return. 2b. Would…

A real estate agent is considering changing her land line phone plan. There are three plans to choose from, all of which involve a monthly service charge of $20. Plan A has a cost of $.37 a minute for daytime calls and $.16 a minute for evening calls. Plan B has a charge of $.46 a minute for daytime calls and $.14 a minute for evening calls. Plan C has a flat rate of $75 with 300 minutes of calls allowed per month and a charge of $.34 per minute beyond that, day or evening. a. Determine the total charge under each plan for this case: 130 minutes of day calls and 50 minutes of evening calls in a month. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) Cost for Plan A Cost for Plan B Cost for Plan C $ $ $ b. If the agent will only use the service for daytime calls, over what range of call minutes will each plan be optimal? (Round each answer to the nearest whole number. Include the indifference point itself in each answer.) Plan A is optimal from zero to…

In this problem, we consider replacing an existing electrical water heater with an array of solar panels. The net installed investment cost of the panels is $1,470 ($2,100 less a 30% tax credit from the government). Based on an energy audit, the existing water heater uses 220 kilowatt hours (kWh) of electricity per month, so at $0.12 per kWh, the cost of operating the water heater is $26.4 per month. Assuming the solar panels can save the entire cost of heating water with electricity, answer the following questions. a. What is the simple payback period for the solar panels? b. What is the IRR of this investment if the solar panels have a life of 9 years?

Dr. MaGoo performs laser surgery to correct eye vision. He charges $800 for eye surgery (for a pair of eyes): Variable cost per eye surgery (per pair of eyes) are:  Medical Supplies       $35.00   Nurses time       65.00   Utilities for the machine     10.50   Variable marketing and administrative costs 24.50   The income tax rate is     30%   Fixed overhead cost is $100,000 per year. Fixed selling and administrative costs are $25,000 per year. Dr. MaGoo performed 400 corrective eye surgeries last year. a. What is the contribution margin per eye surgery? b. Suppose that Dr. MaGoo wants to make a profit (after tax) of $100,000, how many eye surgeries must be sold? (Round to nearest dollar for tax calculation)   c. Suppose that Dr. MaGoo has another option available, which uses a scalpel (cut and sew option) rather than the laser (laser option). This option reduces the fixed costs by $49,950 per year and  increases variable cost by $150 per surgery. Assume 333 is the number…
