You have bids to install solar panels on your roof from two companies: SunCo and PowerPlus. SunCo requires an immediate installation cost of $19,750 as well as $610 per year in maintenance costs (the first maintence cost would occur in 1 year). SunCo's panels would last 18 years. PowerPlus requires an immediate installation cost of $21,500 as well as $685 per year in maintenance costs. PowerPlus' panels would last 20 years. What is the Equivalent Annual Cost (EAC) of the cheaper option (i.e. the one with the lower EAC) if the discount rate is 6.6%? The cheaper option has an EAC closest to: A. $2,423 B. $2,517 C. $2,840 D. $2,652

Dauten is offered a replacement machine which has a cost of 8,000, an estimated useful life of 6 years, and an estimated salvage value of 800. The replacement machine is eligible for 100% bonus depreciation at the time of purchase- The replacement machine would permit an output expansion, so sales would rise by 1,000 per year; even so, the new machines much greater efficiency would cause operating expenses to decline by 1,500 per year The new machine would require that inventories be increased by 2,000, but accounts payable would simultaneously increase by 500. Dautens marginal federal-plus-state tax rate is 25%, and its WACC is 11%. Should it replace the old machine?

Alexander Industries is considering purchasing an insurance policy for its new office building in St. Louis, Missouri. The policy has an annual cost of $10,000. If Alexander Industries doesn’t purchase the insurance and minor fire damage occurs, a cost of $100,000 is anticipated; the cost if major or total destruction occurs is $200,000. The costs, including the state-of-nature probabilities, are as follows: Using the expected value approach, what decision do you recommend? What lottery would you use to assess utilities? (Note: Because the data are costs, the best payoff is $0.) Assume that you found the following indifference probabilities for the lottery defined in part (b). What decision would you recommend? Do you favor using expected value or expected utility for this decision problem? Why?
Happy Cleaners needs a new steam machine that costs $100,000. The company is evaluating whether it should lease or purchase the machine. The equipment falls into the MACRS 3-year class, and it would be used for 3 years and then sold, because the firm plans to move to a new facility at that time. The estimated value of the equipment after 3 years is $30,000. A maintenance contract on the equipment would cost $3,000 per year, payable at the beginning of each year. Alternatively, the firm could lease the equipment for 3 years for a lease payment of $29,000 per year, payable at the beginning of each year. The lease would include maintenance. The firm is in the 20% tax bracket, and it could obtain a 3-year simple interest loan, interest payable at the end of the year, to purchase the equipment at a before-tax cost of 10%. If there is a positive Net Advantage to Leasing the firm will lease the equipment. Otherwise, it will buy it. What is the NAL?
Tomoya Inc. announced a tender to supply it with 200,000 pcs of DC Motor per year for its manufacturing firm over the next 5 years, and you've decided to bid on the tender. It will cost you $1,200,000 to install the equipment necessary to start production; you will depreciate this cost straight-line to zero over the project's life. You estimate that in 5 years, this equipment can be salvaged for $100,000 (before tax). Your fixed production costs will be $1,000,000 per year, and your variable production costs should be $60 per pcs. You also need an initial investment in net working capital of $200,000 which will be recovered by the end of the project. If your tax rate is 30% and you require a 12% return on your investment, what is your proper bid price per pcs?
Komoka Enterprises needs someone to supply it with 140,000 cartons of machine screws per year to support its manufacturing needs over the next five years, and you’ve decided to bid on the contract. It will cost you $920,000 to install the equipment necessary to start production. The equipment will be depreciated at 30% (Class 10), and you estimate that it can be salvaged for $95,000 at the end of the five-year contract. Your fixed production costs will be $350,000 per year, and your variable production costs should be $15.10 per carton. You also need an initial net working capital of $125,000 . If your tax rate is 35% and you require a 14% return on your investment, what bid price
The Ajax Corporation has an overhead crane that has an estimated remaining life of 8 years. The crane can be sold now for $8,000. If the crane is kept in service, it must be overhauled immediately at a cost of $5,000.Operating and maintenance costs will be $3,000 per year after the crane is overhauled. The overhauled crane will have zeroMVat the end of the 8-year study period. A new crane will cost $20,000, will last for 8 years, and will have a $4,000 MV at that time. Operating and maintenance costs are $1,000 per year for the new crane. The company uses a before-tax interest rate of 10% per year in evaluating investment alternatives. Should the company replace the old crane?
The Campbell Company is considering adding a robotic paint sprayer to its production line. The sprayer's base price is $970,000, and it would cost another $18,000 to install it. The machine falls into the MACRS 3-year class, and it would be sold after 3 years for $495,000. The MACRS rates for the first three years are 0.3333, 0.4445, and 0.1481. The machine would require an increase in net working capital (inventory) of $14,000. The sprayer would not change revenues, but it is expected to save the firm $366,000 per year in before-tax operating costs, mainly labor. Campbell's marginal tax rate is 25%.
