Assume the following facts: A project will cost RM45 000 to develop. When the system becomes operational, after a one-year development period, operational costs will be RM9000 during each year of the system’s five year useful life. The system will produce benefits of RM30 000 in the first year of operation, and this figure will increase by 10% each year. When is the payback period for this project? Using the same facts, what is the ROI for this project? Using the same facts, what is the NPV for this project? (*Assuming 12% rate)

The Fence Company is setting up a new production line to produce top rails. The relevant data for two alternatives are shown below. Solve, a. Based on MARR of 8%, determine the annual rate of production for which the alternatives are equally economical. b. If it is estimated that production will be 300 top rails per year, which alternative is preferred and what will be the total annual cost?
A mixing process has an estimated first cost of $200,000. Income is expected to be $78,000 per year. At an MARR of 20% per year, what is the payback period?
A project requires an initial investment in equipment of $99,000 and then requires an initial investment in working capital of $16,000 (at t = 0). You expect the project to produce sales revenue of $135,000 per year for three years. You estimate manufacturing costs at 60 percent of revenues. (Assume all revenues and costs occur at year-end [i.e., t = 1, t = 2, and t = 3]). The equipment depreciates using straight-line depreciation over three years. At the end of the project, the firm can sell the equipment for $13,300 and recover the investment in net working capital. The corporate tax rate is 21 percent and the cost of capital is 15 percent. Calculate the NPV of the project. Multiple Choice $4,985 $13,879 −$3,880 $8,487
