You are trying to pick the least-expensive car for your new delivery service. You have two choices: the Scion xA, which will cost
$17,000 to purchase and which will have OCF of -$1,800 annually throughout the vehicle's expected life of three years as a delivery
vehicle; and the Toyota Prius, which will cost $25,000 to purchase and which will have OCF of -$950 annually throughout that
vehicle's expected 4-year life. Both cars will be worthless at the end of their life. You intend to replace whichever type of car you
choose with the same thing when its life runs out, again and again out into the foreseeable future.
If the business has a cost of capital of 12 percent, calculate the EAC. (Negative amounts should be indicated by a minus sign. Round
your answers to 2 decimal places.)
Scion's EAC
Toyota's EAC
Which one should you choose?

You bought a new car which you intend to use as a public utility vehicle for P950,000. The expected life of the car is ten (10) years for its intended use. Your driver and you agreed that for the first five (5) years , your “boundary” is P1,500.00 per day and P1,000.00 per day for the rest of its economic life. You also expected a repair and maintenance costs of P30,000 every six (6) months from year one (1) to five (5) and P50,000 from year six (6) to ten (10). At the end of 10 years you can sell the car for P100,000. If your MARR on invested capital is 15% every (6) months, determine whether this is a good investment. Use the Anual Worth method in your solution. Indicate all other assumptions you use in your analysis.Use manually solve and don't use excel.

- Jake’s Shipping, Inc. needs to purchase a new fleet of light trucks for its shipping business. The firm is trying to decide whether to purchase trucks with diesel engines or trucks with gasoline engines. The diesel truck will have a useful life of 12 years, after which it will need to be replaced. The diesel truck costs $110,000 to purchase and its annual maintenance and operation costs will depend on the cost of regular maintenance/repairs and the cost of diesel fuel. In Years 1 through 5, its annual maintenance/repair costs are expected to be $2000 per year. In Years 6 through 12, its annual maintenance/repair costs are expected to be $2500 per year. The firm expects that the diesel truck will use 5,900 gallons of diesel fuel per year (Years 1 through 12) and believes that diesel fuel will cost $2.65 per gallon, on average, during the life of the truck. The gasoline truck only costs $60,000 to purchase but will have a useful life of only 4 years, after which it will need to be…arrow_forwardOn a land worth P800,000, an investor constructs a building worth P3,000,000.

Question 7 Question 7 of 24 A newly-built business property, containing space for a store and two offices, can be purchased for P1,500,000. A prospective buyer estimates that during the next 12 years he can obtain annual rentals of at least P568,000 from the property and that the annual out-of-pocket disbursements will not exceed P75,000. He believes that he should be able to dispose of the property at the end of 12 years at not less than P800, 000 Annual taxes and insurance will total 3.5% of the first cost. Assume he has sufficient equity capital to purchase the property, and that the average return he is obtaining from his capital is 20% using sinking fund method.

The new jets will generate additional revenue of $3.5 million per year for the 20 years of the useful life of the jets. Expected added operational costs of the jets are 25% of revenues. Air Alberta expects to use the new jets for 20 years, at which time, they would be replaced. The company estimates that all the new planes could be sold for a total of $4.7 million (salvage value). The new regional jets have a CCA rate of 25% (d = .25). Air Alberta has a corporate tax rate of 35%. The purchase would require a $2,000,000 increase in net working capital, which would be returned to Air Alberta when it sold the jets after 20 years. Required: Using a discount rate of 15%, calculate the NPV of the new jet purchase. Prepare a short memo and discuss your recommendation on the purchase of the regional jets.arrow_forwardThe city council has approved the building of a new bridge over Running Water Creek.
