A manufacturer is going to modify a material handling system. This modification will result in first year saving of 30,000 pesos, a second year saving of 40,000 pesos, third year savings of 50,000 pesos and so on. The system last for 15 years at 15% return on investment. The system has no market (salvage) value at any time. How much could be justified now for system modification.

1. A remotely situated fuel cell has an installed cost of BD2,000 and will reduce the existing expense by BD350 per year for eight years. The company's MARR is 10% per year. a) What is the minimum salvage value after eight years that makes the fuel cell worth purchasing? b) What is the fuel cell's IRR if the salvage value is negligible?
The management of Ballard MicroBrew is considering the purchase of an automated bottling machine for $69,000. The machine would replace an old piece of equipment that costs $17,000 per year to operate. The new machine would cost $7,000 per year to operate. The old machine currently in use could be sold now for a salvage value of $23,000. The new machine would have a useful life of 10 years with no salvage value. Required: 1. What is the annual depreciation expense associated with the new bottling machine? 2. What is the annual incremental net operating income provided by the new bottling machine? 3. What is the amount of the initial investment associated with this project that should be used for calculating the simple rate of return? 4. What is the simple rate of return on the new bottling machine? (Round your answer to 1 decimal place i.e. 0.123 should be considered as 12.3%.) 1. Depreciation expense 2.

6. The Imperial Chemical Company is considering purchasing a chemical analysis machine worth $13,000. Although the purchase of this machine will not produce any increase in sales revenues, it will result in a reduction of labour costs. In order to operate the machine properly, it must be calibrated each year. The machine has an expected life of 6 years, after which it will have no salvage value. The following table summarizes the annual savings in labour cost and the annual maintenance costs in calibration over 6 years: Net Cash Flow ($) Costs ($) Year (n) 0 Savings ($) 13,000 -13,000 1 2,300 6,000 3,700 2 2,300 7,000 4,700 3 2,300 9,000 6,700 4 2,300 9,000 6,700 5 2,300 9,000 6,700 6 2,300 9,000 6,700 Find the internal rate of return for this project.

A company decides to automate a process that will require installing a machine that costs BD8,000 and is expected to save BD2,500 per year. If the economic life of the machine is 10 years, at which time it has a salvage value of BD2,000,and if the MARR is 15%, is it a good decision to buy the machine? a. NO, because it will not generate a savings based on PW=BD4,750 over the next 6 years. b. YES, because it will generate a savings based on PW=BD5,142 over the next 8 years. c. YES, because it will generate a savings based on PW=BD5,042 over the next 10 years. d. NO, because it will not generate a savings based on PW=BD5,024 over the next 10 years.
The management of Ballard MicroBrew is considering the purchase of an automated bottling machine for $55,000. The machine would replace an old piece of equipment that costs $14,000 per year to operate. The new machine would cost $6,000 per year to operate. The old machine currently in use could be sold now for a salvage value of $20,000. The new machine would have a useful life of 10 years with no salvage value. Required: 1. What is the annual depreciation expense associated with the new bottling machine? 2. What is the annual incremental net operating income provided by the new bottling machine? 3. What is the amount of the initial investment associated with this project that should be used for calculating the simple rate of return? 4.

NUBD Co. has an opportunity to acquire a new machine to replace one of its present machines. The new machine would cost P90,000, have a five year life, and no estimated salvage value. Variable operating costs would be P100,000 per year. The present machine has a book value of P50,000 and a remaining life of five years. Its disposal value now is P5,000, but it would be zero after five years. Variable operating costs would be P125,000 per year. Ignore present value calculations and income taxes. Considering the five years in total, what would be the difference in profit before income taxes by acquiring the new machine as opposed to retaining the present one?
The Fine Clothing Factory wants to replace an old machine with a new one. The old machine can be sold to a small factory for R10 000. The new machine would increase annual revenue by R150 000 and annual operating expenses by R60 000. The new machine would cost R360 000. The estimated useful life of the machine is 12 years with zero salvage value. Using Average rate of return (ARR), Should Fine Clothing Factory purchase the machine if management desired rate of return of 15% on all capital investments? Show all the calculations and motivate your answer.
Dell is considering replacing one of its material handling systems. It has an annual O&M cost of $48,000, a remaining operational life of 8 years, and an estimated salvage value of $6,000 at that time. A new system can be purchased for $175,000. It will be worth $50,000 in 8 years, and it will have annual O&M costs of only $17,000 per year due to new technology. If the new system is purchased, the old system will be traded in for $55,000, even though the old system can be sold for only $45,000 on the open market. Leasing a new system will cost $31,000 per year, payable at the beginning of the year, plus operating costs of $15,000 per year payable at the end of the year. If the new system is leased, the existing material handling system will be sold for its market value of $45,000. Use a planning horizon of 8 years, an annual worth analysis, and MARR of 15% to decide which material handling system to recommend: (i) keep existing, (ii) trade in existing and purchase new, or (iii)…
A Company is considering two alternatives with regards to an equipment which it needs. The alternatives are as follows: Alternative A; Purchase Cost of equipment Salvage value Daily operating cost Economic life, years P700,000 100,000 500 10 Alternative B: Rental at P1,500 per day At 18% interest, how many days per year must the equipment be in use if Alternative A is to be chosen.
It is desired to determine the present economic value of an old machine by considering of how it compares with the best modern machine that could replace it. The old machine is expected to require out-of-pocket costs of ₱85,000 each year for 4 years and then be scrapped for ₱5,000 residual value. The new machine requires an investment of ₱40,000 and would have out-of-pocket costs of ₱79,000 a year for 8 years and then zero salvage value. Invested capital should earn a minimum return of 15% before taxes. Determine the present value of the old machine.
