Problem C-3A Determine present value alternatives (LOC-2, C-3)Hollywood Tabloid needs a new state-of-the-art camera to produce its monthly magazine. The company is looking at two cameras thatare both capable of doing the job and has determined the following:Camera 1 costs $5,300. It should last for eight years and have annual maintenance costs of $260 per year. After eight years, themagazine can sell the camera for $370.Camera 2 costs $4,800. It will also last for eight years and have maintenance costs of $830 in year three, $900 in year five, and$1,000 in year seven. After eight years, the camera will have no resale value.

New-Project Analysis The Campbell Company is considering adding a robotic paint sprayer to its production line. The sprayer’s base price is $1,080,000, and it would cost another $22,500 to install it. The machine falls into the MACRS 3-year class, and it would be sold after 3 years for $605,000. The MACRS rates for the first 3 years are 0.3333, 0.4445, and 0.1481. The machine would require an increase in net working capital (inventory) of $15,500. The sprayer would not change revenues, but it is expected to save the firm $380,000 per year in before-tax operating costs, mainly labor. Campbell’s marginal tax rate is 35%. What is the Year-0 cash flow? What are the net operating cash flows in Years 1, 2, and 3? What is the additional Year-3 cash flow (i.e., the after-tax salvage and the return of working capital)? If the project’s cost of capital is 12%, should the machine be purchased?
Problem 1: You are considering the purchase of one of two machines used in your manufacturing plant. Machine A has a life of two years, costs $80 initially, and then $125 per year in maintenance costs. Machine B costs $150 initially, has a life of three years, and requires $100 in annual maintenance costs. Either machine must be replaced at the end of its life with an equivalent machine. Which is the better machine for the firm? The discount rate is 12 percent, and the tax rate is zero.
Dundar Mifflin is considering the purchase of new printer and have narrowed down the possibilities to two models which perform equally well. However, the method of paying for the two models is different. Model A requires $8,000 per year payment for the next five years. Model B requires the following payment schedule. Payment (Model 2) $10,000 9,000 Year 1 2 8,000 5,000 4 3,000 1. Which model should you buy assuming 12% rate?
PART 2 (RATE OF RETURN) ABC Company is trying to decide whether or not to automate their product packing process. The machine costs $200,000, has a useful life of 10 years and a salvage value $10,000. The machine costs $9000 per year to operate and maintain but will save the company $50,000 per year in labor costs. ABC Company has asked you to evaluate the economics of this purchase. (Assume their MARR is 14% per year).
Amazon site BFI3 wants to test a new label scanner on their package sorter. The initial investment of the machine will be $2.5 million and the benefit due to cost savings will be $900,000 per year. Normal maintenance on the machine will cost $75,000 per year and they plan for major maintenance in year 7 of $500,000. At the end of the 10 year project life, they are able to sell the parts to another warehouse for $600,000. If the MARR is 11% what is the AEW of this project?
Explansion Project: ABC is planning to buy a new heavy duty printing machine. You were hired to assist KFUPM on this decision. So you gathered the following information. The new machine has a life of 3 years. New Machine: Life of machine: 3 years The cost of the new machine is SAR 1,134 The machine will increase the gross profit every year by SAR 314 The market value of the machine when sold at the end of its life is SAR 191 If replaced, then the net working capital (NOWC) will increase every year by SAR 22 ABC will recover all investments in working capital at the end of the new machine's life (after 3 years).

Basic Present Value Concepts The Atlantic Medical Clinic can purchase a new computer system that will save $7,000 annually in billing costs. The computer system will last for eight years and have no salvage value. Required: What is the maximum price (i.e., the price that exactly equals the present value of the annual savings in billing costs) that the Atlantic Medical Clinic should be willing to pay for the new computer system if the clinic’s required rate of return is: 1. Sixteen percent? 2. Twenty percent?
Homework Saved Esquire Company needs to acquire a molding machine to be used in its manufacturing process. Two types of machines that would be appropriate are presently on the market. The company has determined the following: Machine A could be purchased for $66,000. It will last 10 years with annual maintenance costs of $2,300 per year. After 10 years the machine can be sold for $6,930. Machine B could be purchased for $60,000. It also will last 10 years and will require maintenance costs of $9,200 in year three, $11,500 in year six, and $13,800 in year eight. After 10 years, the machine will have no salvage value. Required: Assume an interest rate of 8% properly reflects the time value of money in this situation and that maintenance costs are paid at the end of each year. Ignore income tax considerations. Calculate the present value of Machine A & Machine B. Which machine Esquire should purchase? Note: Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your final answers to nearest whole…
K Beryl's Iced Tea currently rents a bottling machine for $53,000 per year, including all maintenance expenses. It is considering purchasing a machine instead, and is comparing two options: a. Purchase the machine it is currently renting for $155,000. This machine will require $20,000 per year in ongoing maintenance expenses. b. Purchase a new, more advanced machine for $255,000. This machine will require $17,000 per year in ongoing maintenance expenses and will lower bottling costs by $12,000 per year. Also, $36,000 will be spent upfront training the new operators of the machine. Suppose the appropriate discount rate is 9% per year and the machine is purchased today. Maintenance and bottling costs are paid at the end of each year, as is the rental of the machine. Assume also that the machines will be depreciated via the straight-line method over seven years and that they have a 10-year life with a negligible salvage value. The corporate tax rate is 30%. Should Beryl's Iced Tea…
Engineering Economics: Please answer the following provide explaination and Solution Clin Corporation has an overhead crane that has an estimated remaining life of 10 years. The crane can be sold now for ₱800,000. If the crane is kept in service, it must be overhauled immediately at the cost of ₱400,000. Operating and maintenance costs will ₱300,000 per year after the crane is overhauled. The overhauled crane will have zero market value at the end of the 10-year study period. A new crane will cost ₱1.8M and can last for 10 years with a market value of ₱400,000 at that time. Operating and maintenance costs are ₱100,000 per year for the new crane. The company uses an after-tax interest rate of 10% per year in evaluating investment alternatives. Should the company replace the old crane?
