- Caduceus Company is considering the purchase of a new piece of factory equipment that will cost $565,000 and will generate $135,000 per year for 5 years. Calculate the IRR for this piece of equipment. For further instructions on internal rate of return In Excel, see Appendix C.The Mechanical Components Division manager asks you to recommend a make/buy decision on a major automotive subassembly that is currently purchased externally for a total of $3.9 million this year. This cost is expected to continue rising at a rate of $300,000 per year. Your manager asks that both direct and indirect costs be included when in-house manufacturing (make alternative) is evaluated. New equipment will cost $3 million, have a salvage of $0.5 million and a life of 6 years. Estimates of materials, labor costs, and other direct costs are $1.5 million, per year. Typical indirect rates, bases, and expected usage are shown. Perform the AW evaluation at MARR = 12% per year over a 6-year study period. Show both hand and spreadsheet solutions.

The investment cost is $23522 and the equipment will have a market value of $6723 at the end of a study period of five years. Increased productivity attributable to the equipment will amount to $9350 per year after extra operating costs have been subtracted from the revenue generated by the additional production. If the firm's MARR is 20% per year, What is the Present Worth (PW) for this proposal?
