Assume a machine costs $548,000 and lasts eight years before it is replaced. The operating cost is $109,600 a year. Ignore taxes. What is the equivalent annual cost if the required rate of return is 14 percent? (Hint: the EAC should account for both initial investment and annual operating costs)

Assume a machine costs $404,000 and lasts four years before it is replaced. The operating cost is $47,000 a year. Ignore taxes. What is the equivalent annual cost if the required rate of return is 12.5 percent? (Hint: the EAC should account for both initial investment and annual operating costs) $163,297 $174,825 $181,414 $195,637 $202,118

Assume an equipment costs $325,000 and lasts five years before it is replaced. The operating cost is $37,800 a year. Ignore taxes. What is the equivalent annual cost if the required rate of return is 14 percent? (Hint: Find the NPV of the equipment cost and annual operating cost, then solve for the EAC)

A machine that costs $5000 is to be replaced in 5 years by a new one....

A machine that costs $5000 is to be replaced in 5 years by a new one. The old machine at that time would be worth $500. How much should the periodic payments be so that there will be enough money to buy a new machine (at the same price) if equal payments are made at the end of each semi-annual period at an annual interest rate of 6% compounded semi-annually? R= Answer Suppose an annual interest rate of 8% compounded...

4) Machine A costs $35,000, lasts 3 years and has a salvage value of $7,500. Machine B costs $25,000, lasts 2 years and has a salvage value of $3,500. The machines can be purchased at the same price with the same salvage value in the future, and are needed for a 6 year project. Which machine would you purchase and why? Provide justification using an Annualized Equivalent Cost analysis. Interest is 10% annual rate, compounded annually. Answer______________________________________

What is the ATCF rate of return for machine that costs 300,000, lasts for 8 years,...

What is the ATCF rate of return for machine that costs 300,000, lasts for 8 years, has zero salvage value, and is classified as 5 year MACRS property? The machine will be purchased with a 20.0% down payment and a four year loan for the remaining amount at an annual interest rate of 11.50%. The machine produces net revenues after deducting direct and indirect expenses but not depreciation of 46,000 in year 1, 120,000 in years 2 to 6, 60,000...

A power plant that supplies a community with electricity costs $1 billion to build, lasts 25 years, and has an annual operating cost of $0.2 billion

A power plant that supplies a community with electricity costs $1 billion to build, lasts 25 years, and has an annual operating cost of $0.2 billion; it costs $0.1 billion to decommission the plant at the end of its lifetime (25 years). (Assume that the construction costs and the operating costs are paid at the beginning of the period, and that the decommissioning cost is paid at the end of the life of the plant.) The annual discount rate is...

A machine costs $460,000, has a $36,000 salvage value, is expected to last eight years, and will generate an after-tax income of $100,000 per year after straight-line depreciation. Assume the company requires a 10% rate of return on its investments. Compute the net present value of each potential investment. (PV of $1, FV of $1, PVA of $1, and FVA of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.) A new operating system for an existing machine is expected to...
