The initial cost of a pickup truck is $12,748 and will have a salvage value of $4,360 after five years. Maintenance is estimated to be a uniform gradient amount of $121 per year, with zero dollar for first year maintenance. The operation cost is estimated to be $0.3 per mile for 351 miles per month. If the interest rate is 12%, what is the annual equivalent cost (AEC) for the truck?
A company is considering constructing a plant to manufacture a proposed new product. The land costs $250,000, the building costs $650,000, the equipment costs $300,000,
and $80,000 additional working capital is required. It is expected that the product will result in sales of $700,000 per year for 11 years, at which time the land can be sold for
$350,000, the building for $400,000, and the equipment for $50,000. All of the working capital would-be recovered at the EOY 11. The annual expenses for labor, materials,
and all other items are estimated to total $500,000. If the company requires a MARR of 14% per year on projects of comparable risk, determine if it should invest in the new
product line. Use the AW method.

This plant is used about 40% of the time, or 3,500 operating hours per year, to produce a proprietary demulsifica- tion chemical; during the remaining 60% of the time, it is used to produce other specialty chemicals. The annual production of the demulsification chemical amounts to 30,000 kilograms per year, and it sells for $15 per kilogram. The proposed computer process control system will cost $65,000 and is expected to provide specific benefits in the production of the demulsification chemical as follows: First, the selling price of the product could be increased by $2 per kilogram because the product would be of higher purity, which translates into better demulsification performance. Second, production volumes would increase by 4,000 kilograms per year as a result of higher reaction yields, without any increase in requirements for raw material quantities or…arrow_forwardConsider a new machine at a bottling plant that has a first cost of $250000, operating and maintenance costs of $15100 per year, and an estimated net salvage value of $25000 at the end of 30 years.
