Required information
A land development company is considering the purchase of earth-moving equipment. This equipment will have an
estimated first cost of $163,000, a salvage value of $55,000, a life of 10 years, a maintenance cost of $32,000 per year,
and an operating cost of $220 per day. Alternatively, the company can rent the necessary equipment for $1010 per day
and hire a driver at $180 per day.
When approached to rent for the breakeven number of days, the equipment owner indicated that the minimum rental is for 100 days
per year; however, he might consider a lower daily rental cost. What is the daily rental cost to justify renting over purchasing? If the
equipment was purchased, assume it would be used for the breakeven number of days. Determine the required rental cost per day.
The daily rental cost to justify renting over purchasing is determined to be $

The machine has an estimated useful life of four years or 100,000 hours, and a salvage value of 30,000. This machine will be used 30,000 hours during Year 1, 20,000 hours in Year 2, 40,000 hours in Year 3, and 10,000 hours in Year 4. Dunedin buys equipment frequently and wants to print a depreciation schedule for each assets life. Review the worksheet called DEPREC that follows these requirements. Since some assets acquired are depreciated by straight-line, others by units of production, and others by double-declining balance, DEPREC shows all three methods. You are to use this worksheet to prepare depreciation schedules for the new machine.arrow_forward
