The cost to manufacture a firing system component used in a rapid deployment missile defense system was $20,000 the first year; however, the company expects the cost to increase by 2% each year. Calculate the present worth of this cost over a 5-year period at an interest rate of 10% per year compounded weekly. The present worth of the cost is $

The operating and maintenance expenses for a mining machine are expected to be $13000 in the first year and increase by $900 per year during the 25-year life of the machine. What uniform series of payments would cover these expenses over the life of the machine? Interest is 9%/year compounded annually.

Green Power Company is considering acquiring a new machine that will last 14 years and it can be purchased right now for 116,319 dollars; maintenance will cost 23,444 dollars the first year, increasing by 6,434 dollars per year thereafter (e.g. maintenance at the end of year two is equal to 23,444 plus 6,434 dollars). If the interest rate is 7% per year, compounded annually, how much money should the company set aside now to purchase and provide for the future maintenance of this machine (NPV)? (note: round your answer to the nearest cent and do not include spaces, currency signs, or commas)

The cost for manufacturing a component used in intelligent interface converters was $23,000 the first year. The company expects the cost to increase by 2% each year. Calculate the present worth of this cost over a five-year period at an interest rate of 10% per year.

A machine cost P20,000 today and has an estimated scrap value of P2,000 after 8 years. Inflation is 2% per year. The effective annual interest rate earned on money invested is 8%. How much money needs to be set aside each year to replace the machine with an identical model 8 years from now?

Equipment maintenance costs for manufacturing explosion-proof pressure switches are projected to be $125,000 in year one and increase by 3% each year through year five. What is the equivalent annual worth of the maintenance costs at an interest rate of 10% per year, compounded bi-monthly (compounded once in two months)? The equivalent annual worth is $

The operating and maintenance expenses for a mining machine are expected to be $11000 in the first year and increase by $700 per year during the 25-year life of the machine. What uniform series of payments would cover these expenses over the life of the machine? Interest is 10%/year compounded annually. $4

Costs associated with the manufacture of miniature high-sensitivity piezoresistive pressure transducers is $85,000 per year. A clever industrial engineer found that by spending $19,000 now to reconfigure the production line and reprogram two of the robotic arms, the cost will go down to $52,000 next year and $58,000 in years 2 through 5. Using an interest rate of 15% per year, determine the present worth of the savings due to the reconfiguration. The present worth of the savings is determined to be $

Andes, Inc. is considering the replacement of its manual material handling equipment with autonomous vehicles at a net initial cost of $12 million. The expected annual savings in operating costs are as shown below. MARR is 10% per year compounded annually. End of Year 1 2 3 4 5 6 3 4.5 4.5 Annual savings (millions) | 2.25 | 2.25 | 3 Compute the simple payback period for this replacement option. Determine the discounted payback period (DPBP). It is enough if you determine in which year the DPBP falls.

Jones Company is considering investing in a new piece of equipment that costs $600,000. The new equipment should provide cost savings of $150,000 per year over its 5-year useful life. What is the payback period (in years) for the new equipment?
