An airport needs a modern material handling system for facilitating access to and from a busy maintenance hangar. A second-hand system will cost $75,000. A new system with improved technology can decrease labor hours by 20% compared to the used system. The new system will cost $150,000 to purchase and install. Both systems have a useful life of ﬁve years. The market value of the used system is expected to be $20,000 in ﬁve years, and the market value of the new system is anticipated to be $50,000 in ﬁve years. Current maintenance activity will require the used system to be operated 8 hours per day for 20 days per month. If labor costs $40 per hour and the MARR is 1% per month, which system should be recommended?
A light manufacturing firm has set up a project for develop- ing a new machine for one of its production lines. The most likely estimated cost of the project itself is $1,000,000, but the most optimistic estimate is $900,000 while the pessimists predict a project cost of $1,200,000. The real problem is that even if the project costs are within those limits, if the project itself plus its implementation costs exceed $1,425,000, the project will not meet the firm’s NPV hurdle. There are four cost categories involved in adding the prospective new machine to the production line: (1) engineering labor cost, (2) nonengineering labor cost, (3) assorted material cost, and (4) production line downtime cost. The engineering labor requirement has been estimated to be 600 hours, plus or minus 15 percent at a cost of $80 per hour. The nonengineering labor requirement is esti- mated to be 1,500 hours, but could be as low as 1,200 hours or as high as 2,200 hours at a cost of $35 per hour. Assorted…
national motors must build a bridge to access land for its manufacturing plant expansion. If made of normal steel, the bridge would initially cost $38,000. and it should last 13 years. Maintenance (cleaning and painting) will cost $1900 per year. If a more corrosion-resistant steel were used, the annual maintenance cost would be only $180 per year (with the same life). if the firm's cost of money is 13%, what is the maximum amount that should be spend on the corrosion-resistand bridge?
A machine cost $45,000 to purchase. Fuel, oil grease,and minor maintenance are estimated to cost $12.34 peroperating hour. A set of tires cost $3,200 to replace, andtheir estimated life is 2,800 use hours. A $6,000 majorrepair will probably be required after 4,200hr of use. Themachine is expected to last for 8,400 hr, after which itwill be sold at a price equal to 10% of the originalpurchase price. A final set of new tires will not bepurchased before the sale. How much should the ownerof the machine charge per hour of use, if it is expectedthat the machine will operate 1,400 hr per year? Thecompany’s capital rate is 7%.
A 9,000 gallon storage tank was purchased for $200,000 12 years ago. How much would a 12,000 gallon storage tank cost today if the power-sizing exponent were 0.69 and the cost index increased from 150 to 230 over the last 12 years. Express your answer in $ to the nearest $1,000.

The Union Manufacturing Company is producing two types of products: A and B. The demand forecasts, batch size, and time standards follow in table 2: Table No 2 Product A Product B Demand forecast (units/yr) 1,000 4,000 Batch size (units/batch) 20 10 Processing time (hr/unit) 3.2 4.5 Setup time (hr/batch) 10 20 Both products are produced on the same machine, called Mark I. i) What is the total number of hours required of Mark I equipment for the next year? ii) The company works 250 days per year and operates two shifts, each covering 8 hours. If a 15 percent capacity cushion is maintained, how many hours of capacity can the company expect from each of its Mark I machines?
Engineers determined that a small amount of newly available chemical additives would increase the resistance of a building material by 20%. The factory manager arranged the purchase of the additive through a 5-year contract at a price of $7,000 annually, with an interest of 15% to be installed annually, and an inflation of 10%, starting from one year from now. The annual price is expected to increase by $50 annually starting from the sixth year and thereafter until the year 13. In addition, an initial investment of $3,000 has been made to prepare a suitable site for the contractor to deliver the additive. Find the equivalent total present value of all these cash flows.
