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?

100,000 TL is priced by a machine dealer. The purchaser of the machine estimates that the useful life of the machine will be 12 years. At the end of 12 years, the machine is expected to be sold for 90,000 TL. The machine will result in annual costs of 6,000 TL during its 12-year useful life, as well as save 15,000 TL annually. Since the phys rate is expected to be 9%, how much should the buyer give to the machine whose price is determined as 100.000 TL by the seller?
Your company is looking at purchasing a front-end loader at a cost of $120,000. The loader can be billed out at $107.00 per hour.

A machine costs $10,000, has a useful life of 7 years and a salvage value of $1000.00 at the end of the 7th year. If the interest rate is 9.8% compounded monthly, what is the equivalent uniform annual cost (EUAC) of this machine?
A temporary warehouse can be built for $10 million and its salvage value when decommissioned is zero. The annual revenue from the sale of storage space minus maintenance and operating costs is estimated at $3 million. If the TMAR is 13% per year and the warehouse is used for 8 years, does the investment matter? What is the minimum useful life for the construction to be interesting?
Annual maintenance costs for a particular section of highway pavement are $2500. The placement of a new surface would reduce the annual maintenance cost to $500 per year for the first 3 years and to $1000 per year for the next 7 years. After 10 years the annual maintenance would again be $2500. If maintenance costs are the only saving, what investment can be justified for the new surface? Assume interest at 5%.
Annual maintenance cost for a particular section of highway pavement are $3,000.The placement of a new surface would reduce the annual maintenance cost to $400 per year for the first 5 years, and to $800 per year for the next 5 years. After 10 years, the annual maintenance cost would again be $3,000. If the maintenance costs are the only saving, how much investment can be justified for the new surface, by assuming interest at 6%?
A "standard" model of a dozer costs $20,000 and has an annual operating expense of $450. The dozer will be replaced in 6 years when the salvage value is expected to be $2,000. A "super" model can be purchased for $25,000, but will have a salvage value of $7,000 when retired in 6 years. Its operating expenses are also $450 a year. The purchaser's other investment opportunities are 5%. Compare these alternatives by using the annual equivalent method.
