Chapter 5, Problem 34P
The required investment cost of a new, large shopping center is $50 million. The salvage value of the project is estimated to be $20 million (the value of the land). The project’s life is 15 years and the annual operating expenses are estimated to be $15 million. The MARR for such projects is 20% per year. What must the minimum annual revenue be to make the shopping center a worthwhile venture? (5.5)

A company predicts they will make $1,321 per year over the next 19 years if they spend $2,497 on a machine (an asset with multi-year use). If the MARR is 16.0%, how much is this investment worth per year?
A$ 100,000 machine replacement project
indicates that it can generate, after-tax cash
flows, $ 35,000 per year over its 10-year
useful life. At the end of this period, it could
be sold for $ 10,000. Considering a Minimum
Attractive Rate of Return (MARR) of 10% per
year, select the equation by notation of
factors that calculates your Net Present Value
-100000 + 35000 (P/A,10%,9) + 10000 (P/F,10%,10)
-100000 + 35000 (P/A,10%,9) + 45000 (P/F,10%,10)
100000 – 35000 (P/A,10%,9) – 45000 (P/F,10%,10)
-100000 + 35000 (P/F,10%,10) + 10000 (P/A,10%,10)
An industrial firefighting truck costs $100,000. Savings in insurance premiums and uninsured
losses from the acquisition and operation of this equipment is estimated at $60,000/yr. Salvage
value of the apparatus after 5 yrs. is expected to be $20,000. A full-time driver during operating
hours will accrue an added cost of $10,000/yr. What would the rate of return be on this investment?

Consequently, he will rent out his three-bedroom house in Hancock to an old friend, and given their friendship, Peter only requires end of the year payments (thus no monthly pmts) to be deposited in a savings account created solely for this purpose. Rental income will be 13,709 dollars per year but maintenance/repair costs will be 503 dollars in the first year and thereafter increase by 213 dollars per year. The tenant will be doing the maintenance/repair operations and therefore, at the end of each year, deposits the annual rent amount net of maintenance costs. Compute how much money will Peter have in his savings account upon his return (8 years from now) given that the proxy interest rate is 7% per year, compounded annually.
