The cost of a replacement packaging machine if $95,000. The machine is anticipated
to reduce the packaging costs by $20 per parcel. The company expects to send out
25,000 parcels per year. The salvage values of the machine is anticipated to be
$23,000 at the end of 10 years. What is the present worth of the machine if the
after-tax MARR is 10%, the CCA rate is 20%, and the tax rate is 40%? [Enter your
response in $. Round to the nearest full dollar]
Peachtree Construction Company, a highway contractor, is considering the purchase of a new trench excavator that costs 300000 and can dig a 3-foot-wide trench at the rate of 16 feet per hour. The contractor gets paid according to the usage of the equipment, 100 per hour. The expected average annual usage is 500 hours, and maintenance and operating costs will be 10 per hour. The contractor will depreciate the equipment by using a five-year MACRS, units-of-production method. At the end of five years, the excavator will be sold for 100000. Assuming the contractor’s marginal tax rate is 25% per year, determine the annual after-tax cash flow. In excel.
A firm can purchase a centrifugal separator (5-year MACRS property) for
$22,000.
The estimated salvage value is
$4,000
after a useful life of six years. Operating and maintenance (O&M) costs for the first year are expected to be
$2,200.
These O&M costs are projected to increase by
$1,000
per year each year thereafter. The income tax rate is
24%
and the MARR is
11%
after taxes. What must the uniform annual benefits be for the purchase of the centrifugal separator to be economical on an after-tax basis?

The new machine can replace four of the older machines, each with a current market value of $600. The new machine will cost $5000 and will save the equivalent of 10,000 kWh of electricity per year. After a period of 10 years, neither option (new or old) will have any market value. If you use a before-tax MARR of 25% and pay $0.075 per kilowatt-hour, would you replace the old machines today with the new one?A professor of engineering economics owns an older car. In the past 12 months, he has paid $2000 to replace the transmission, bought two new tires for $160, and installed a music system for $110.

- Your company has purchased equipment (for $53,000) that will reduce materials and labor costs by $16,000 each year for N years. After N years, there will be no further need for the machine, and because the machine is specially designed, it will have no MV at any time. The IRS, however, has ruled that you must depreciate the equipment on a SL basis with a tax life of five years. If the effective income tax rate is 23%, what is the minimum number of years your firm must operate the equipment to earn 10% per year after taxes on its investment?
