Sandersen Meat Processors has asked its lead process engineer to evaluate two different types of conveyors for the beef cutting line. Type A has an initial cost of $70,000 and a life of 3 years. Type B has an initial cost of $95,000 and a life expectancy of 6 years. The annual operating cost (AOC) for type A isexpected to be $9000, while the AOC for type B is expected to be $7000. Ifthe salvage values are $5000 and $10,000 for type A and type B, respectively,tabulate the incremental cash flow using their LCM.

A pork processing facility is considering the installation of either a storage facility or a holding pond. A biosystems engineer has been hired to evaluate the economic trade-offs for the two alternatives. The engineer estimates the cost of the storage facility to be $213,000, with annual costs for maintenance to be $3,200 per year. She estimates the cost of the pond to be $90,000, plus $45,000 for pumps and piping, and annual operating and maintenance costs for the holding pond are estimated to be $8,500. The engineer estimates the life of the storage facility and the pond to be around 20 years but is concerned about the accuracy of this estimate. She decides to do a sensitivity analysis. Solve, a. Develop the equation that she would use to determine how sensitive the economic decision is to changes in life. Use a MARR of 15%. b. Determine which alternative is preferred for lives ranging from 15 to 25 years.
A production plant manager has been presented with two proposals for automating an assembly process. Proposal A involve an initial cost of $15000 and an annual operating cost of $2000 per year for the next 4 years . Thereafter, the operating cost is expected to be $2700 per year. This equipment is expected to have a 20-year life with no salvage value. Proposal B requires an initial investment of $25000 and an annual operating cost of $1200 per year for the first 3 years. Thereafter, the operating cost is expected to increase by $120 per year. This equipment is expected to last 20 years and have a salvage value of $2000. If the company's MARR is 10%, which should be accepted using ROR analysis?
Kimoto Ltd has designed a new product and conducted a market survey costing $30,000 to assess its viability. The survey has determined that the new product will generate sales of $1,200,000 per year. Fixed costs associated with the product will be $50,000 a year and variable costs will amount to 35% of sales. The equipment necessary for production will cost $1,500,000 and is to be depreciated evenly over the project’s life of 5 years (straight-line method). In addition, $45,000 in net working capital is required to fund the project. The tax rate is 30%. The company believes the risk of the new project is the same as the risk of the company’s existing assets. Kimoto’s capital consists of the following : Ordinary Shares: The company has 2 million ordinary shares outstanding, currently selling for $150 per share and a beta of 1.2. The market risk premium (rm-rf) is 8% and the risk-free rate is 3%. Preference Shares: The company has 1 million preference shares, currently selling for $85…
A plant's Product Engineering Department is trying to calculate the Uniform Equivalent Annual Cost of a projected machine. It is estimated that the cost of designing and building the machine will be $720,000, its useful life is estimated at 7 years with a salvage value of $70,000, but these estimates are subject to error. A 6-year lifespan with a salvage value of $80,000 and an 8-year lifespan with a salvage value of $60,000 are also possible. If the attractive minimum rate of return is 10% per year, analyze the sensitivity of the Uniform Equivalent Annual Cost to the change in estimates.
