A new manufacturing plant costs $5,150,000 to build. Operating and maintenance costs are estimated to be $43,000 per year, and a salvage value of 25% of the initial cost is expected. The units the plant produces are sold for $35 each. Sales and production are designed to run 365 days per year. The planning horizon is 10 years. Find the break-even value for the number of units sold per day for each of the following values of MARR:
A/ 5%
Break-even value: units
Carry all interim calculations to 5 decimal places and
then round your final answer up to the nearest unit. The tolerance
is ±1.
B/ 10%
Break-even value: units
Carry all interim calculations to 5 decimal places and
then round your final answer up to the nearest unit. The tolerance
is ±1.
C/ 15%
Break-even value: units
Carry all interim calculations to 5 decimal places and
then round your final answer up to the nearest unit. The tolerance
is ±1.

Solar Co. is evaluating a proposal to build a new solar plant.
The new plant costs $225 million today (at t = 0), and the expected
salvage value of the plant in eight years is $43 million (at t =
8). Based on these assumptions, the NPV of this project is $20
million. Now suppose the project team made an error, and the
expected salvage value of the plant is zero in
eight years (at t = 8). By how...

An auto plant that costs $50 million to build can produce a new
line of cars that will produce net cash flow of $35 million per
year if the line is successful, but only $1 million per year if it
is unsuccessful. You believe that the probability of success is
about 20 percent. The auto plant is expected to have a life of 12
years and the opportunity cost of capital is 10 percent. What is

A manufacturer plans to open a new plant. The new plant will
cost $4,000,000 to build and make ready for production. Company
management believes that the plant will produce a net profit of
$130,000 in the first year and that profit will increase 5% per
year until year 7 at which point profit will remain constant for
the remainder of the plant’s useful life. Determine the payback
period for the plant. Do not consider the effect of interest.

It costs Fisk Manufacturing $200 per unit to build an engine.
Manufacturing costs are 60% variable and 40% percent are fixed.
Fisk expects to produce 75,000 engines this year (85% of the
factory’s capacity) and sell them for $450 each. Trasker Company
offers $180 per engine to buy 15,000 engines. If production exceeds
capacity, fixed costs will increase by $400,000 to expand the
factory and train new workers. However, if production is below the
factory capacity fixed manufacturing costs will...
