Problem 3
A piece of equipment is estimated to cost $86,000 new and to have a useful life of 5
years
with a salvage value of $14,000. The company believes that a realistic MARR would
be
10%. Taxes, insurance, and storage should amount to an additional 8%, which results
in
an overall cost of money of 10 + 8, or 18%. To recover ownership cost, what is the
appropriate amount per hour that must be charged for the equipment usage if the
expected
use rate of the equipment is 1,200 hours per year?
Calculate the B/C ratio (modified) of a building that houses students during their classroom discussion. Theaccommodation equates to P525,000 annually. However, the annual maintenance is P135,000. Its constructioncosts for about 2.3 M. If sold 20 years from its first operating year, it will amount to P250,000. Take MARR = 15%
Please solve using economics formula.
