A new manufacturing plant costs $5 million to build. Operating and maintenance costs are estimated to be $45,000 per year and a salvage value of 25% of the initial cost is expected. The units the plant produces are sold for $35 each. Sales and production are designed to run 365 days per year. The planning horizon is 10 years. Find the break-even value for the number of units sold per day for the following value of MARR 15%.

Cecil’s Manufacturing is considering production of a new product. The sales price would be $10.25 per unit. The cost of the equipment is $100,000. Operating and Maintenance costs are expected to be $3,500 annually.

The Engineers in a certain company are considering introducing a new product line. The initial investment required for this project is 250,000 OMR and the annual maintenance costs are expected to be 14,500 OMR. Annual operating costs will be directly proportional to the level of production at 11 OMR per unit, and each unit of product can be sold for 45 OMR. The estimated production output is 3000 unit per year. The MARR is 12% per year and the project has a life of 6 years. The initial investment, maintenance costs and production output are estimated to be within ±30%. Is this project acceptable from profitability point of view (show your analysis)? Analyze the sensitivity of AW to changes in each estimate individually (i.e.: make a spider plot). Based on your results rank these input factors from the highest sensitivity to the lowest. Calculate the breakeven deviations for the estimates and make recommendation either to accept or reject this project.
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 attractive minimum rate of return 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?
