Tanaka Industrial Systems Company is trying to decide between two different conveyor belt systems. System A costs $275,000, has a 4-year life, and requires $81,000 in pretax annual operating costs. System B costs $355,000, has a 6-year life, and requires $75,000 in pretax annual operating costs. Both systems are to be depreciated straight-line to zero over their lives and will have zero salvage value. Suppose the company always needs a conveyor belt system; when one wears out, it must be replaced. Assume the tax rate is 22 percent and the discount rate is 9 percent. Calculate the EAC for both conveyor belt systems

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
Eads Industrial Systems Company (EISC) is trying to decide between two different conveyor belt systems. System A costs $427,000, has a 6-year life, and requires $115,000 in pretax annual operating costs. System B costs $502,000, has an 8-year life, and requires $79,000 in pretax annual operating costs. Both systems are to be depreciated straight-line to zero over their lives and will have a zero salvage value. Whichever system is chosen, it will not be replaced when it wears out. The tax rate is 33 percent and the discount rate is 24 percent. Which system should the firm choose and why? a.No option is correct b.System A because its net present value is -$588,792 c.System B because its net present value is -$612,240 d.System A because its net present value is $211,516
Peachtree Construction Company, a highway contractor, is considering the purchase of a new trench excavator that costs 300000 and can dig a 3-foot-wide trench at the rate of 16 feet per hour. The contractor gets paid according to the usage of the equipment, 100 per hour. The expected average annual usage is 500 hours, and maintenance and operating costs will be 10 per hour. The contractor will depreciate the equipment by using a five-year MACRS, units-of-production method. At the end of five years, the excavator will be sold for 100000. Assuming the contractor’s marginal tax rate is 25% per year, determine the annual after-tax cash flow. In excel.
The First cost of a passenger bus is ₽800,000. Its estimated life is 4 years with no salvage value. The operating cost per year of 300 days of operation are as follows: Tires, ₽24,000; gasoline, 60 liters per day at ₽15 per liter; Oil,₽80 per day; maintenance and repair, ₽40,000; labor ₽800 per day; miscellaneous expense, ₽18,000; depreciation, sinking fund at 10%. If the average passenger fare is ₽3.50 for each passenger one way and expected profit or return is 15% determine the minimum average number of passengers that should be transported each day. Use the AW method and Future worth method.
Blooper Industries must replace its magnoosium purification system. Quick & Dirty Systems sells a relatively cheap purification system for $12 million. The system will last 3 years. Do-It-Right sells a sturdier but more expensive system for $20 million; it will last for 8 years. Both systems entail $2 million in operating costs; both will be depreciated straight-line to a final value of zero over their useful lives; neither will have any salvage value at the end of its life.

A large city in mid-west needs to buy a street-cleaning machine. A used vehicle will cost $75000 and has a market value of $20000 after its five-year life. A new system cost $150000 and has a market value of $40000 after five-years. The new system has some features that reduce labor hours compared with used system. the used system requires labor hours of 8 hours per day and 20 days per month. the labor costs are $50 per hour. the MARR is 12%. if the new system is expected to be able to reduce labor hours by 20% compared with the used system, which system should the city purchase? and how many hours must the system be operated at the break even?
