A new wave-soldering machine is expected to save Brisbane Circuit Boards $15,000 per year through reduced labour costs and increased quality. The device will have a life of eight (8) years, and have a salvage value of $20,000. at the end of the 8th year (salvage value means the used machine can be sold in the open market). If the company can generally expect to get 12% return on its capital, how much could it afford to pay for the wave-soldering machine
The heat loss through the exterior walls of a certain manufacturing plant is estimated to cost
$29000 at EOY 1. ABC Insulation, Inc., told the owner of the plant that the heat loss can be
reduced by 80% if he is willing to spend $401,000 to install its innovative insulation material.
The cost of heat loss is expected to rise by $2100 per year (uniform gradient) after the next year.
The owner plans to keep the present building for 15 more years. Assume MARR (minimum
acceptable rate of return) is 4% per year.
(a) What is the present equivalent value of the cost savings in the reduction of heat loss for
these 15 years? Round off your final answer to nearest thousand.
(b) Using AW method, would you recommend the owner to install ABC's new insulation
material? Why?
Suppose that annual income from a rental property is expected to start at$1,100 per year and decrease at a uniform amount of $50 each year after the first year for the 14-year expected life of the property. The investment cost is$8,600,and i is 7% per year. Is this a good investment? Assume that the investment occurs at time zero (now) and that the annual income is first received at EOY one.
The present equivalent of the rental income equals $ . (Round to the nearest dollar
