Steel drums manufacturer incurs a yearly operating cost of P 200,000. Each drum manufactured cost P 160 and sells for P 300. A machine use for the production has a first cost of P 20,000 and a salvage value of P 2,000 after producing 1,000 units. What is the break even number of units per year?
Rebecca is moving away from New York City for her new job, so she must buy a car rather than rely on
public transit. The new car she is considering will cost $ 18,000 to buy, $ 1,500 per year to insure, and
$ 500 per year for maintenance after the 3-year warranty expires. She would keep the car for 7 years
when it will have a salvage value of $ 7,000.
She has found a 2-year-old car that is the same model for $ 13,000. The 3-year warranty is transferrable,
so the annual maintenance cost of $500 starts in year 2. Because the car is less valuable, insurance is
$300 per year less than for the new car. After 5 years, the vehicle will be 7 years old and will have the
same salvage value of $ 7,000.
Rebecca is ignoring costs for fuel, oil, tires and registration, because the two vehicles will have the same
costs. If her interest rate is 9%, how much cheaper is the used car (difference of EAC of two vehicles)
Economics
Last year, a decision was made to keep the same equipment in lieu of
buying new equipment. The old equipment's trade-in value last year
was $4000 and its value this year is $2000. The operating cost was
$700 last year. If bought last year, the new equipment would have
cost $13K, the salvage value after 8 years would be $2000, and it
would have an annual operating cost of $4000.
If bought last year, what would have been the EUAC of the new
equipment (in dollars) at 16% interest rate per year? (provide your
answer in the box as a negative value if you arrive at costs)
What would have been the correct decision? (provide your answer
and justification in your pdf file submission)

- Required information Brooke is evaluating two alternatives for improving the exterior appearance of her Victorian-style house that she is remodeling inside. She plans to keep this as her home for 20 more years. The house can be completely painted at a cost of $13,500. The paint is expected to remain attractive for 5 years, at which time repainting will be necessary. Every time the building is repainted (ie., in years 5, 10, and 15), the cost will increase by 20% over the previous time. As an alternative, the exterior can be covered with a vintage-appearing vinyl-coated siding now and again 10 years from now at a cost 39% greater than the present cost of the siding. At a MARR of 10% per year, what is the maximum amount that Brooke should spend now on the siding alternative so that the two alternatives will just break even? Solve using factors. The maximum amount that Brooke should spend now on the siding alternative is $ |arrow_forwardE3 Your company plans to raise price on product A by 5% per year. Due to competition, sales volume from product A is expected to decline at 10% per year. Revenue will be $5M for this year.

The new machine, costing $3700, would have a life of 4 years and no salvage value, but would save the firm $500 per year in direct labor costs and $200 per year indirect labor costs. The existing machine tool was purchased 4 years ago at a cost of $4000. It will last 4 more years and will have no salvage value at the end of that time. It could be sold now for $1000 cash.Assume that money is worth 8% and that the difference in taxes, insurance, and so forth, for the two alternatives is negligible.
