The purchase of a motor for P6000 and a generator for P4000 will allow a company to produce its own energy. The configuration can be assembled for P500. The service will operate for 1600 hrs per year for 10yrs. The maintenance cost is P300 per year and the cost to operate is P0.85/hour for fuel and related costs. Using straight line depreciation, what is the annual cost(P) for the operation? There is P400 in salvage value for the system at the end of 10yrs.
An investment of $1.000.000 will be included in the 7-year MACRS class for depreciation.
It would also require an additional $150,000 to invest in inventory and would add $50,000 to accounts payable.
Will generate $400000 in revenue and $150000 in cash expenses annually. The tax rate is 21 per cent.
What are the incremental cash flows for years 0, 1, 7 and 8?
An asset with a fixed investment cost of $90,000 is depreciated over an 8-year
period. It is expected to have Sg = $30,000. MARR = 12%

- Suppose you are considering an investment project that requires $800.000, has a six-year life, and has a salvage value of $100,000. Sales volume is projected to be 65,000 units per year. Price per unit is $63, variable cost per unit is $42, and fixed costs are $532,000 per year. The depreciation method is a five-year SL and assume MARR 10%. (a) Determine the break-even sales volume. (b) Calculate the cash flows of the base case over six years and its NPW. (c) lf the sales price per unit increases to $400, what is the required break-even volume?

- A tractor for over-the-road hauling is to be purchased by AgriGrow for $80,000. It is expected to be of use to the company for 6 years, after which it will be salvaged for $3,800. Transportation cost savings are expected to be $140,000 per year; however, the cost of drivers is expected to be $53,000 per year, and operating expenses are expected to be $47,000 per year, including fuel, maintenance, insurance, and the like.
