A factory has a flooding probability of 1% per year. When flooded, the factory will suffer 500,000 EUR in material damages. The existing insurance will certainly cover the material damages, a deductible of 20% will however apply. When flooded the factory will suffer another 500,000 EUR in opportunity cost of lost production time, which are not covered by insurance. A local plumbing firm has made an offer of installing a pump that would avoid this flooding and costs 5,000 EUR per year. Your boss asks you if this is a good idea? (assuming no recovery rate). a) Calculate Expected Loss p.a
A company plans to buy $ 11300 worth of metering devices. The machine, which has an economic life of 12 years and will not be used afterwards, should be put into maintenance at the end of a period of 2 years in order to be able to make good measurements. First maintenance cost $ 500 And each maintenance cost is twice the previous maintenance cost. There is no scrap value at the end of the machine's economic life. The company gains varying amounts every year due to the purchase of this machine. For the first three years, the earnings are $ 1000 each year. Annual earnings for each subsequent 3-year period increase by $ 1000 over the previous 3-year period. a) Draw the cash flow diagram and find the IIR value. b) If you managed the company, would you buy this machine when the MARR was 5% and explain why.
On January 1, 2021, X Company bought a machine for $44,000. It's now January 1, 2022, and management is disappointed that 2021 operating costs with the machine were $32,000. Since they are expecting future operating costs to continue to be $32,000 a year, they are considering replacing the machine with a new one. Although the new machine will cost $47,000, operating costs with the new machine will decrease by $8,000 each year. Both machines will last for 4 more years. The current machine can be sold immediately for $8,000 but will have no salvage value at the end of 4 years. The new machine will have a salvage value of $4,000 at the end of 4 years. Assuming a discount rate of 8%, what is the net present value of replacing the current machine with the new one? Submit Answer Tries 0/4
