Pneumatics Engineering purchased a machine that had a fi rst cost of $40,000, an expected useful life of 8 years, a recovery period of 10 years, and a salvage value of $10,000. The operating cost of the machine is expected to be $15,000 per year. The inflation rate is 6% per year and the company’s MARR is 11% per year. Determine the depreciation charge for year 3 according to the straight line method. (UNITS ARE REQUIRED)
At the beginning of month 1, Finco has $400 in cash. At the beginning of months 1, 2, 3, and 4, Finco receives certain revenues, after which it pays bills (see Table 2 below). Any money left over may be invested for one month at the interest rate of 0.1% per month; for two months at 0.5% per month; for three months at 1% per month; or for four months at 2% per month. Use linear programming to determine an investment strategy that maximizes cash on hand at the beginning of month 5. Formulate an LP to maximize Finco’s profit.

The company needs to decide if it should bid on the contract. The codt of preparing the bid is $200,000. The company estimates that it has an 80% chance of winning the contract and 20% of losing the bid. If the company wins the bid it will have to pay $2,000,000 to become a partner in the contract. Once they are partners in the contract, they could conduct a market research study at $150,000. The research project could return with a forecast of a high market demand or low market demand. Regardless of the survey result must decide if they want to build the office complex or sell the rights to another company. Homely estimates that selling the contract rights will generate revenues of $3,500,000. If Homely decides to build the office complex they will generate $5,000,000 in revenue if demand is high and $3,000,000 if demand is low. Information for this project is listed below.
