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)

Electrical switch manufacturing companies must choose one of three different assembly methods. Method A will have an initial cost of $40,000, annual operating costs of $9,000, and a 2 year lifetime. Method B will cost $80,000 to purchase and will have an annual operating cost of $6,000 over its 4 year service life. Method C will cost $130,000 initially with an annual operating cost of $4,000 over its 8 year life. Methods A and B will have no salvage value, but method C will have a salvage value for some equipment that is approximately $12,000. Which method to choose?

- Who doesn't love food trucks? Imagine you are being offered to invest in a food truck as part of a restaurant business. The truck including equipment costs $100,000, has an expected useful lifespan of 10 years, and the estimated salvage value then is $5,000. The food truck will require a $20,000 overhaul after 6 years of use. The food truck costs $5000 per year to operate and maintain, but it will save the underlying restaurant operator $40,000 per year in labour and lease payments. As you are contemplating the offer you evaluate the economics of this idea... Your cost of borrowing money is 10%. You set yourself an MARR of 14%. What should you do? Invest or not? a) Use a timeline graph to summarize cash outflows and inflows over time. b) Conduct the ERR analysis. Explain each step of your analysis and related assumptions.

Reinforcement would cost $25,000 and would make the overpass adequate for an additional 6 years of service. If the overpass is torn down now, the scrap value of the steel would exceed the removal cost by $15,000. If it is reinforced, it is estimated that its net salvage (market) value would be $18,000 at the time it is retired from service. A new pre-stressed concrete overpass would cost $140,000 and would meet the foreseeable requirements of the next 40 years. Such a design would have no net scrap or MV. It is estimated that the annual expenses of the reinforced overpass would exceed those of the concrete overpass by $3,200.

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)arrow_forwardThe monthly demand for ice cans being manufactured by Alpha Co. is 3,000 pieces.
