Majdy Corporation purchased a machine 5 years ago for JOD 527,000 when it launched product X. Unfortunately, this machine has broken down and cannot be repaired. The machine could be replaced by a new model machine "M1" costing JOD 545,000 or by a new model "M2" machine costing JOD 450,000. Management has decided to buy the model "M2" machine. It has less capacity than the model "M1" machine, but its capacity is sufficient to continue making product X. Management also considered, but rejected, the alternative of dropping product X and not replacing the old machine. If that were done, the JOD 450,000 invested in the new machine could instead have been invested in a project that would have returned a total of JOD 532,000.
1. What is the amount of sunk cost if the decision was to buy model "M2" machine rather than the model "M1" machine?
2. What is the amount of opportunity cost if the decision was to invest in model "M2" machine?

8 years ago a company installed a robot that today has a market value of $ 60,000 and each year it drops $ 2000. For example, at the end of the first year the market value will be $ 58,000 and so it continues to decline. Maintenance costs for the next 4 years are estimated at $ 3000 this year and increasing 10% each year. Determine the marginal cost of extending the service for one year, for the next 4 years if the MARR is 12%. Fill in the blanks with the results.
Calculate:
a) The loss of market value in year 1 is $
b) Loss in interest in year 1 $
c) The Marginal Cost in year 1 is

- A machine purchased 3 years ago for $140,000 is now too slow to meet growing demand. The machine can now be upgraded at a cost of $70,000 or sold to a small business for $40,000. The current machine will have an annual operating cost of $85,000. If upgraded, the currently owned machine will be in service for 3 years more and later it will be replaced with a machine that will be used in the manufacture of various lines of products. This replacement machine, which will serve the company now and for at least 8 years to come, will cost $220,000. Its salvage value will be $50,000 in years 1 through 5; $20,000 after 6 years, and $10,000 thereafter. This will have an estimated operating cost of $65,000 per year. The company asks you to carry out an economic analysis at 20% per year using a time horizon of 5 years. Should the company replace the machine it currently owns or should it do so in 3 years?

Its market value is now $15,000 and is expected to decline by 10%/year over the next five years. It is projected that this machine will be operational for another five years, after which time it will be scrapped (no salvage value). This year, its annual costs are estimated as $1500, but will increase by $1000/year thereafter. A new machine is now available for $20,000. It has no annual costs over its five-year minimum cost life (i.e., economic life). Using an 8% MARR, when (if at all) should the existing machine be replaced with the new machine?

- solve it using manual computation; do not use Microsoft Excel The Ajax Corporation has an overhead crane that has an estimated remaining life of 10 years. The crane can be sold now for $8,000. If the crane is kept in service, it must be overhauled immediately at a cost of $5,000. Operating and maintenance costs will be $3,000 per year after the crane is overhauled. The overhauled crane will have zero MV at the end of the 8-year study period. A new crane will cost $20,000, will last for 8 years, and will have a $4,000 MV at that time.
