HopHeart Brewery is considering 3 different bottling machines. It is expected that each machine will be replaceable at the same cost when their useful life ends. The details of the machines are as follows: Machine X has a useful life of 6 years. It costs $10,000 to purchase and $2,000 per year to maintain. Machine Y has a useful life of 12 years. It costs $15,000 to purchase, and $1,000 per year to maintain. Machine Z has a useful life of 8 years. It costs $20,000 to purchase, and $200 per year to maintain.
a. What is the appropriate planning horizon for analyzing these choices?
b) Using the planning horizon from part a, analyze the present worth of the cost of each alternative if HopHeart has a MARR of 9.8%/year.
Machine X _____________
Machine Y _____________
Machine Z _____________

The Harrison Group Life Insurance company computes annual policy premiums based on the age the customer turns in the current calendar year. The premium is computed by taking the decade of the customer’s age, adding 15 to it, and multiplying by 20.
For example, a 34-year-old would pay $360, which is calculated by adding the decades (3) to 15 and then multiplying by 20.
Write an application that prompts a user for the current year then a birth year. Pass both to a method that calculates and returns the premium amount, and then display the returned amount.

LONG-TERM FINANCING NEEDED At year-end 2016, total assets for Arrington Inc. were $1.8 million and accounts payable were $445,000. Sales, which in 2016 were $3 million, are expected to increase by 30% in 2017. Total assets and accounts payable are proportional to sales, and that relationship will be maintained; that is, they will grow at the same rate as sales. Arrington typically uses no current liabilities other than accounts payable. Common stock amounted to $455,000 in 2016, and retained earnings were $260,000. Arrington plans to sell new common stock in the amount of $60,000. The firm's profit margin on sales is 7%; 65% of earnings will be retained. What were Arrington's total liabilities in 2016? Write out your answer completely. For example, 25 million should be entered as 25,000,000. Round your answer to the nearest cent. $ How much new long-term debt financing will be needed in 2017? Write out your answer completely. For example, 25 million should be entered as 25,000,000. Do not round your intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest cent. (Hint: AFN - New stock = New long-term debt.) $
