It is estimated that an investment alternative with an
initial investment cost of 150000 TL will generate
annual revenues of 85000 TL and annual expenses of
20000 TL. It is expected to have a scrap value of 95000
TL at the end of its 5-year life. Find out how sensitive
the investment decision of this investment alternative
is to its revenues. (MARR: %10)
Bailey, Inc., is considering buying a new gang punch that would allow them to produce circuit boards more efficiently. The punch has a
first cost of $100,000 and a useful life of 15 years. At the end of its useful life, the punch has no salvage value. Labor costs would
increase $2,000 per year using the gang punch, but raw material costs would decrease $12,000 per year. MARR is 5 %/year.

Two electric motors (A and B) are being considered to drive a centrifugal pump. Each motor is capable of delivering 40 horsepower (output) to the pumping operation. It is expected that the motors will be in use
800 hours per year. If electricity costs $0.08 per kilowatt-hour and 1 hp = 0.746 kW, which motor should be selected if MARR = 6% per year? Refer to the data below.
