The initial investment required for this project is $500,000, and annual maintenance costs are anticipated to be $35,000. Annual operating costs will be directly proportional to the level of production at $7.50 per unit, and each unit of product can be sold for $50. If the MARR is 15% and the project has a life of 5 years, what is the minimum annual production level for which the project is economically viable?arrow_forward23. You have just been offered a contract worth $1.12 million per year for 7 years. However, to take the contract, you will need to purchase some new equipment. Your discount rate for this project is 11.5%. You are still negotiating the purchase price of the equipment. What is the most you can pay for the equipment and still have a positive NPV? The most you can pay for the equipment and achieve the 11.5%annual return is $____ million. (Round to two decimal places.)arrow_forward
- 15 UPS is considering the purchase of a electric truck that would cost $150,000 and would last for 5 years. At the end of 5 years, the truck would have a salvage value of $20,000. By reducing labor and other operating costs, the machine would provide annual cost savings of $45,000. The company requires a minimum return of 19% on all investment projects. The net present value of the proposed project is closest to (Ignore income taxes.): PV factor of $1 annuity for 5 years at 19% is 3.058 and PV of $1 over 5 years is 0.419 A. $85,000 B. -$12,390 C. -$4,010 D. $145,990arrow_forwardSagararrow_forwardYour firm is contemplating the purchase of a new $500,000 computer-based order entry system.

Plane B has a life of 10 years, will cost $132 million, and will produce net cash flows of $25 million per year. Shao plans to serve the route for only 10 years. Inflation in operating costs, airplane costs, and fares are expected to be zero, and the company’s cost of capital is 12%. By how much would the value of the company increase if it accepted the better project (plane)? What is the equivalent annual annuity for each plane?arrow_forward
