Kappa Holdings is looking at a new system with an installed cost of $740,000. This cost will be depreciated straight-line to zero over the project's 7-year life, at the end of which the system can be salvaged for $102,000. The system will save the firm $217,000 per year in pretax operating costs, and the system requires an initial investment in net working capital of $69,000, which will be returned at the end of the project. If the tax rate is 22 percent and the discount rate is 9 percent, what is the NPV of this project? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) NPV

Ima Good-Student enrolls in ENGR 3202. She had considered purchasing a new vehicle but decides that she can buy a good used vehicle and invest the difference in the stock market. Ima sells her current vehicle for $5000 and buys a low-mileage vehicle for $15000 in cash, no financing needed. She also realizes that she needs to account for maintenance and operation costs. Those costs are estimated to be $2000 per year and increase by $100 per year. She will keep the vehicle for years and sell it for an estimated $3000. If her MARR is 8%, what is the present value of this cash flow? O a. $-23000 O b. $-23400 O c. $-18000 O d. -$18400
The PARC Company can purchase gizmos to be used in building whatsits for $90 each. PARC can manufacture their own gizmos for $7000 per year overhead cost plus $25 direct cost for each gizmo, provided they purchase a gizmo maker for $100,000. PARC expects to use gizmos for 10 years. The gizmo maker should have a salvage value of $20,000 after 10 years. PARC uses 12% as its minimum attractive rate of return. At what annual production rate N should PARC make its own gizmos?
The purchase of a motor for P6000 and a generator for P4000 will allow a company to produce its own energy. The configuration can be assembled for P500. The service will operate for 1600 hrs per year for 10yrs. The maintenance cost is P300 per year and the cost to operate is P0.85/hour for fuel and related costs. Using straight line depreciation, what is the annual cost(P) for the operation? There is P400 in salvage value for the system at the end of 10yrs.
XYZ Corporation manufactures book cases that it sells for P65 each. It costs XYZ P35000/year to operate its plant. This sum includes rent, depreciation charges on equipment and salary payments. If the cost to produce one book case is P50, how many case must be sold each year for XYZ to avoid taking loss? Select the correct response: 2334 2336 2335 2333
A new factory would require a fixed and variable production costs of 325500000 $. It is estimated that variable costs of production will amount to 21% of the cash cost of production, and annual depreciation costs are estimated to be 12% of the fixed and variable production. If the annual profit are going to be 500000 $ million, determine the quality percent return on the entire cost and the minimum payout period.
A specialty concrete mixer used in construction was purchased for $300,000 7 years ago. Its annual O&M costs are $105,000. At the end of the 8-year planning horizon, the mixer will have a salvage value of $5,000. If the mixer is replaced, a new mixer will require an initial investment of $375,000 and at the end of the 8-year planning horizon, the new mixer will have a salvage value of $45,000. Its annual O&M cost will be only $40,000 due to newer technology. Use an EUAC measure and a MARR of 15% to see if the concrete mixer should be replaced if the old mixer is sold for its market value of $65,000. Solve, a. Use the cash flow approach (insider’s viewpoint approach). b. Use the opportunity cost approach (outsider’s view point approach).
A steam generation system at a biomass-fueled power plant uses an electrostaticprecipitator (ESP) to clean its gaseous effluents. The power plant has consistently made use ofthe same type of ESP over the past several years. The installed cost of a new ESP has beenrelatively constant at $100,000. Records of operation and maintenance expenses indicate thefollowing average expenses per year as a function of the age of the ESP. The MVs of the ESP arealso reasonably well known as a function of age. Data graph in image attached. Determine the best time to replace the ESP if the MARR is 15% per year.
The annual fixed costs for a plant are P 117447 and the variable cost per unit is P20 . The selling price is P44.06 per unit. What is the break-even point in units of production?
A potential client has offered the possibility to sign a contract, starting in 6 years, with a duration of 8 years (so it will produce 8 payments), to purchase a specific part that we can produce, but that will require a total reconversion of the whole factory. This contract is signed for annual revenues of $400,000. To do this, we must replace the machinery and the production plant must be reconverted. a) What is the maximum amount of money we could afford to invest if we want a profitability of at least 4%? b) If we ask for a loan to be paid back in 5 years in constant equal monthly payments of $30,000, how much will we pay in total for the loan?
ASAP PLZ An industrial plant bought a generator set for P125,000. Other expenses including instalment amounted to P35.000. The generator set is to have a life of 17 years with a salvage value at the end of life of P4,000. In what year did the book value of the generator set equal or almost equal to half of the cost of the equipment, use SYD method. (ENGINEERING ECONOMY)
Outdoor Sports is considering adding a putt putt golf course to its facility. The course would cost $167,000, would be depreciated on a straight-line basis over its 6-year life, and would have a zero salvage value. The sales would be $84,000 a year, with variable costs of $27,400 and fixed costs of $12,000. In addition, the firm anticipates an additional $15,300 in revenue from its existing facilities if the putt putt course is added. The project will require $2,600 of net working capital, which is recoverable at the end of the project. What is the net present value of this project at a discount rate of 12 percent and a tax rate of 40 percent?
The Double Arthur Company (DAC) has three product lines of coffee mugs — Earth, Sun and Mun — with contribution margins of $9, $8, and $5 respectively.

What would the new breakeven point in units be if these relationships persist in the next period? 2. What would the new operating income be if these relationships persist in the next period?
