Although the Chen Company’s milling machine is old, it is still in relatively good working order and would last for another 10 years. It is inefficient compared to modern standards, though, and so the company is considering replacing it. The new milling machine, at a cost of $110,000 delivered and installed, would also last for 10 years and would produce after-tax cash flows (labor savings and depreciation tax savings) of $19,000 per year. It would have zero salvage value at the end of its life. The project cost of capital is 10%, and its marginal tax rate is 25%. Should Chen buy the new machine?
"The heat loss through the exterior walls of a certain poultry processing plant is estimated to cost the owner $4000 next year. A salesperson from Superfiber Insulation, Inc., has told you, the plant engineer, that he can reduce the heat loss by 70% with the installation of $20000 worth of Superfiber now. If the cost of heat loss rises by $30 per year (uniform gradient) after the next year and the owner plans to keep the present building for 14 more years, what is the present worth of the savings? Would you recommend installing the insulation now given that the interest rate of 7.68% year?" A 255986.64 B 316901.03 C 24457.35 D 222355.62 E 207412.21

A company is considering establishing a new machine to automate a meat packing process. The machine will save $50,000 in labor annually. The machine can be purchased for $200,000 today and will be used for a period of 10 years. It has a salvage value of $10,000 at the end of its useful life. The new machine will require an annual maintenance cost of $9000. The corporation has a minimum rate of return of 10%.Do you recommendautomating the process? Use all methods discussed in evaluating a single project.
Lumberjack Power, operator of a nuclear power plant, is planning to replace its current equipment with some that is more environmentally friendly. The old equipment has annual operating expenses of $6750 and can be kept for 8 more years. The equipment will have a salvage value of $4000, if sold 8 years from now, and has a current market value of $24,000, if it is sold now. The new equipment has an initial cost of $62,000 and has estimated annual operating expenses of $6250 each year. The estimated market value of the new equipment is $19,000 after 8 years of operation. If the company's MARR is 16% per year, should the equipment be replaced? Use a study period of 8 years and the present worth method.
You own a coal mining company and are considering opening a new mine. The mine will cost $115.9 million to open. If this money is spent immediately, the mine will generate $20.1 million for the next 10 years. After that, the coal will run out and the site must be cleaned and maintained at environmental standards. The cleaning and maintenance are expected to cost $1.8 million per year in perpetuity. What does the IRR rule say about whether you should accept this opportunity? If the cost of capital is 8.2%, what does the NPV rule say?
An oil refinery finds that it is necessary to treat the waste liquids from a new process before discharging them into a stream. The treatment will cost $20,000 the first year, but process improvements will allow the costs to decline by $2,000 each year. As an alternative, an outside company will process the wastes for the fixed price of $10,000/year throughout the 9 year period, payable at the beginning of each year. Either way, there is no need to treat the wastes after 9 years. Use the annual worth method to determine how the wastes should be processed. The company's MARR is 10%.
