- 4. Your company is considering the introduction of a new product line. 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.

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_forward
