A contractor is considering the purchase of a set
of machine tools at a cost of $50,000. The
purchase is expected to generate profits of
$19,000 (revenues less expenses) per year in
each of the next 4 years Additional profits will be
taxed at a rate of 40%. The asset is depreciated
by straight-line method with zero salvage value.
The contractor's real after-tax MARR is 10%
(25%)
1). What is the PW of this investment? Should the
contractor purchase the machine tools?
2). What is the PW of this investment if the general
inflation is 3% in the 4 year period? Should the
contractor purchase the machine tools?

- The Advanced Silicon Devices semiconductor factory costs $20 million to build and is depreciated (on a straight line basis, to make this simple) over 20 years. Also it borrows the money to build the factory at 8% interest. The factory has a capacity of 400,000 chips per year that sell for $30 apiece. Labor costs are $1.5 million, and raw material costs are $0.5 million. Ongoing research and development costs are $3 million. The factory sells all its chips to the Itty Bitty Machine company, which manufactures 40,000 computers a year that sell (wholesale) for $800 each. That factory costs $35 million to build, with the same rate of interest and depreciation as the semiconductor factory. Besides paying for the chips, the costs are $4 million for labor, $2 million for other parts (half of which are imported), and $2.5 million for ongoing R&D.

- One year ago, your company purchased a machine used in manufacturing for $90,000. You have learned that a new machine is available that offers many advantages and you can purchase it for $145,000 today. It will be depreciated on a straight-line basis over 10 years and has no salvage value.
