Determine the book value of the trencher after two years, if it was used to dig 50,000 meters on the first year and 75,000 meters on the second year. (Ans. P144,875.00)

- A piece of industrial machinery costs $48,000 to replace and has essentially no salvagevalue. Over the first five years of operation, maintenance costs amounted to $8,000. Ifthe maintenance cost rate is a linear function of time, what is the optimal age at whichto replace the machinery?arrow_forwardYour answer is partially correct. An independent contractor for a transportation company needs to determine whether she should upgrade the vehicle she currently owns or trade her vehicle in to lease a new vehicle. If she keeps her vehicle, she will need to invest in immediate upgrades that cost $5,200 and it will cost $1,300 per year to operate at the end of year that follows. She will keep the vehicle for 5 years; at the end of this period, the upgraded vehicle will have a salvage value of $3,800. Alternatively, she could trade in her vehicle to lease a new vehicle. She estimates that her current vehicle has a trade-in value of $9,800 and that there will be $4,100 due at lease signing. She further estimates that it will cost $2,900 per year to lease and operate the vehicle. The independent contractor's MARR is 11%. Compute the EUAC of both the upgrade and lease alternatives using the insider perspective.

The estimated salvage value at the end of 10 years is $0. The machine is expected to save the company $1,554 per year before taxes and depreciation. The company depreciates its assets on a straight-line basis and has a marginal tax rate of 35 percent. What is the internal rate of return on this investment?arrow_forward
- An airline company has been contracting a maintenance company to do overhauls for its planes at a cost of $51275 per plane per quarter. The airline company estimates that by building a $1461838 maintenance facility with a life of 5 years and a residual market value of $770217 at the end of its life, they could handle their own overhaul at a cost of only $42020 per plane per quarter. What is the minimum number of planes they must operate to make it just profitable to build this facility? (=2% per quarter). • 25 O 31 Clear my choicearrow_forwardA swim club is designing a new pool to replace its old pool. The new pool would need to last for 10 years since the club is planning on relocating after 10 years. A concrete shell would cost $85,000 and last for all 10 years. Another option is to install a vinyl liner that would cost only $70,000 to install. However, the vinyl is not guaranteed to last for all 10 years, and it has a 40% chance of breaking down. Repair of the vinyl would cost $40,000 and would extend the life of the vinyl liner to the 10-year mark. If both options are acceptable to the swim club, which one minimizes cost? Support your answer with drawing a decision tree and provide your calculation.arrow_forwardNon-inventory goods were purchased and delivered on June 15, 2010.

- A Machine Costing P720,000 is estimated to have a book value of P40,545.73 when retired at the end of 10 years. Depreciation cost is computed using a constant percentage of the declining value. What is the annual rate of depreciation in %?arrow_forwarda ABC company purchased a machine use to their business whose first cost is P 500,000 with an estimated life of 10 years. The estimated salvage value of the equipment at the end of its lifetime is P 25,000. Determine the depreciation charge and book value at the end of various years using the straight line method of depreciation.arrow_forwardAn injection molding system has a first cost of $90,000, and an annual operating cost of $42,000 in year 1, increasing by $5000 per year thereafter. The salvage value of the system is 30,000 if you sell after 1 year of use. The salvage value decreases by $5,000 each year thereafter. The maximum useful life of the machine is 4 years. Using a MARR of 20% per year, determine the ESL and the corresponding Equivalent Annual Cost of the system.arrow_forward
- A company has two products, which both sell in quantities of 20. Product A sells for $35/unit with a profit margin of 20%. Product B sells for $50/unit with a profit margin of 13%. Product A has a lost sale probability of 25% when out of stock, and Product B has a lost sale probability of 35% when out of stock. Which product is the more "expensive", in terms of lost sales, if it were to experience a stockout? O No answer text provided. O Product A O They both have the same cost of lost sales same O Product Barrow_forwardThe annual maintenance costs of a machine that has been in use for 3 years are 300 TL, 350 TL and 375 TL, respectively. The machine is expected to be available for 8 years after purchase. The maintenance costs foreseen for the coming years are 400 TL in the first year and 150 TL in the following years. If the machine is sold today, it can be sold for 1500 TL, and in the following years for 1000 TL. What is the optimum regeneration time of the machine if the MCVO is 10%?arrow_forwardA power plant is planning to acquire a new Diesel generating set to replace its resent unit which they run during brownouts. The new set would cost 130,000 with a five (5) year-life, and no estimated salvage value. Variable cost would be 140,000 a year. The present generating set has a book value of 60,000 and a remaining life of 5 years. Its disposal value now is 6,000 but it would be zero after 5 years. Variable operating cost would be 157,500 a year. Money is worth 10%. Which is profitable, to buy the new generator set or retain the resent set? Support your answer by showing your computation. Therefore, [ Select ] [ Select ] the generator will be retained the generator will not be retainedarrow_forward
