A machine costs $17,652 and is expected to have a scrap value of $2,919 whenever it is retired. Operating and Maintenance costs are $1,355 for the first year and expected to increase by $1,233 thereafter. If the MARR is 13%, determine the minimum equivalent uniform annual cost associated with the optimal economic life of the machine. The service life of this machine is 5 years. Note: round your answer to two decimal places, and do not include spaces, currency signs, plus or minus signs, nor commas.

An electric power generating project has a first cost of $447,946 and annual operating costs of $30,000. There is a $180,000 overhaul cost in Year 8. The facility will have a salvage value of $75,000 at the end of Year 15. What is the minimum annual revenue for a breakeven PW at i=10%? Answer to the nearest whole dollar, and enter only the number.

The initial cost of a van is $22,800; its salvage value after 5 years will be $8500. Maintenance is estimated to be a uniform gradient amount of $225 per year (with no maintenance costs the first year), and the operation cost is estimated to be 36 cents/mile for 400 miles/month. If money is worth 6%, what is the approximate equivalent uniform annual cost (EUAC) for the van, expressed as a monthly cost?
The firm is considering two machines: Machine A with initial investment of $10,000 and annual maintenance cost of $1,000. The life of the machine A is 4 years. Machine B with initial investment of $20,000 and annual maintenance cost of $800. The life of the machine B is 6 years. If the required rate of return is 10%, calculate the equivalent annual cost (EAC) of each machine and which machine company must choose?
The firm is considering two machines: Machine A with initial investment of $10,000 and annual maintenance cost of $1.000. The life of the machine A is 4 years. Machine B with initial investment of $20,000 and annual maintenance cost of $800. The life of the machine B is 6 years.

A commercial 3D printer is purchased for $350,000. The salvage value of the printer decreases by 30% each year that it is held. The cost to operate and maintain the machine the first year it is used is $14,000; these costs increase by $5,000 each year. What is the optimal replacement interval and minimum EUAC for the printer, assuming a MARR of 13% is used?

A new heat exchanger must be installed by CSI, Inc. Alternative A has an initial cost of $33,400, and Alternative B has an initial cost of $47,500. Both alternatives are expected to last 10 for years. The annual cost of operating the heat exchanger depends on ambient temperature in the plant and on energy costs. The estimate of the cost and probabilities for each alternative is given. If CSI has a MARR of 8% and uses rate of return analysis for all capital decisions, which exchanger should be purchased?
The equivalent annual worth of the process currently used in manufacturing motion controllers is AW = $-62,000 per year. A replacement process is under consideration that will have a first cost of $64,000 and an operating cost of $38,000 per year for the next 3 years. Three different engineers have given their opinion about what the salvage value of the new process will be 3 years from now as follows: $10,000, $13,000, and $18,000. Is the decision to replace the process sensitive to the salvage value estimates at the company’s MARR of 15% per year?
