Using the asset description and table below, find the economic service life (ESL) of the asset, assuming MARR = 8%.
The company is committed to using the asset for the upcoming year, but is unsure about the following years. Today's market value is $70,000, and it will last another 4 years before failure. Each year, the after-tax market value decreases by $10,000. The operating cost of the asset in year 1 is expected to be $30,000, and it will increase by $5,000 each year through year 4.
a. 3 yearsb. 1 yearc. 4 yearsd. 2 years
A company bought a generating set (or Genset) years ago at P5M and is now fully depreciated. It plans to fix it at a cost of P2,731,809 so that it would still have 6-year life remaining and be annually operated at a cost of P1,511,338 and be sold by the end of its life at P400,000. Simultaneously, it will buy a medium-sized Genset at a cost of P2.5M to be operated at P0.25M annually, and a salvage value of P0.35M at the end of 7 years. Leasing is the 2nd option having an annual payment of P1.4M and the initial payment of P0.1M, lasting for 4 years. What is the Annual Equivalent Cost of the 1st Option when interest is 22% cpd.-annually?
Centronix Corporation purchased new equipment with an estimated useful life of five years. The cost of the equipment was $200,000, and the residual (salvage) value was estimated to be $25,000. In purchasing the new equipment, an old machine was traded in that had an original cost of $180,000, and had been depreciated at the rate of $18,000 a year. The trade-in allowance was $21,000, and accumulated depreciation amounted to $144,000 at the time of the exchange. What should be the cost basis of the new equipment for tax depreciation purposes?(a) $200,000(b) $215,000(c) $175,000( d) $190,000

- A defender was installed 10 years ago at a capital investment cost of $77,000. It presently has a market value of $15,000. If kept, the defender has an economic life of three years, operating expenses of $13,500 per year, and a market value of $9,000 at the end of year (EOY) three. The defender is being depreciated by the straight line method using a 15-year write-off period with an estimated salvage value for depreciation purposes of $11,000. As an alternative, the defender can be replaced with a challenger which will cost $65,000 to install, have operating expenses of $9,500 per year, and have a final market value of $9,000 at the end of its 20-year economic life. If the replacement is made, the challenger will be depreciated with the straight line method over a 20-year life with an estimated salvage value of $9,000 at EOY 20. Such equipment (defender or challenger) will be needed indefinitely. If the after-tax MARR is 9% per year and the effective income tax rate is 25%, should the…arrow_forwardChatham Automotive purchased new electric forklifts to move steel automobile parts two years ago. These cost $75 000 each, including the charging stand. In practice, it was found that they did not hold a charge as long as claimed by the manufacturer, so operating costs are very high. This also results in their currently having a salvage value of about $10 000. Chatham is considering replacing them with propane models. The new ones cost $58000. After one year, they have a salvage value of $40 000, and thereafter decline in value at a declining-balance depreciation rate of 20 percent, as does the electric model from this time on. The MARR is 8 percent. Operating costs for the electric model are $20 000 over the first year, rising by 12 percent per year. Operating costs for the propane model will initially be $10 000 over the first year, rising by 12 percent per year. Should Chatham Automotive replace the forklifts now?arrow_forwardDog Up! Franks is looking at a new sausage system with an installed cost of $520,000. This cost will be depreciated straight-line to zero over the project's five-year life, at the end of which the sausage system can be scrapped for $83,000. The sausage system will save the firm $154,000 per year in pretax operating costs, and the system requires an initial investment in net working capital of $32,500.

- DBS Builders Pte Ltd purchased an asphalt paver eight years ago for $280,000. The estimated operation and maintenance (O&M) costs for the next three years are $56,000, $68,000, and $82,000, respectively. The asphalt paver can be sold for $65,000 now, for $57,000 next year, for $45,000 two years from now, and for $28,000 three years from now. 4. The latest asphalt paver in the market costs $290,000 and has an estimated service life of five years. The salvage value is estimated to be $50,000 after five years. The expected annual O&M costs will be $6,000 for the first year and increase by $3,800 per year thereafter. If a before-tax minimum attractive rate of return (MARR) of 12% is estimated, what replacement decision should DBS Builders make?arrow_forwardThe cost of a replacement packaging machine if $95,000.

The company has to invest in equipment which costs $2,500,000 and will be depreciated under the MACRS system for a 5-year asset class. It is expected to have a scrap value of $700,000 at the end of the project. Other than the equipment, the company needs to increase its cash and cash equivalents by $100,000, increase the level of inventory by $30,000, increase accounts receivable by $250,000 and increase account payable by $50,000 at the beginning of the project. Vigor Pharmaceuticals expect the project to have a life of five years. The company would have to pay for transportation and installation of the equipment which has an invoice price of $450,000. The company has already invested $75,000 in Research and Development and therefore expects a positive impact on the demand for the new pain-reliever. Expected annual sales…arrow_forward
- A present asset (defender) has a current market value of $85,000 (year 0 dollars). Estimated market values at the end of the next three years, expressed in year 0 dollars, are MV1= $73,000, MV2 = $60,000, MV3 = $40,000.

- An auto-part manufacturer is faced with the prospect of replacing its old robot, which has been used in stamping operation for 10 years. This particular robot was installed at a cost of $100,000 and was assumed to have a 15-year life with no appreciable salvage value. The current annual operating costs are $20,000 for this old robot, and these costs are presumed to be the same for the rest of its life. A sales representative from Advanced Robotic Systems is trying to sell this company a new-highly efficient robot. The new system would require an investment of $200,000 for installation. The economic life of this new robot is estimated to be IO years with a salvage value of $18,000, and the robot will reduce annual operating costs to $5,000. No detailed agreement has been made with the sales representative about the disposal of the old robot. Determine therange of resale values associated with the old system that would justify installation of the new system at a MARR of 14%.arrow_forwardSt. Francis Cooperative purchased a P45 000.00 — pump for its irrigation project. Setup and installation cost amounted to P5000.00. Using the SYD method, economic life and salvage value was initially estimated to be 12 years and P3800.00, respectively. Due to poor maintenance and continuous exposure to the elements, a re-evaluation after five years indicated that the remaining economic life is only four years, with a salvage value of P2500.00.
