Chatham Automotive purchased new electric forklifts to move steel automobile parts two years ago. They cost $65,000 each, including the charging stand. In practice, it was found that they did not hold a charge as long as claimed by the manufacturer, so operating costs are very high. As a result, their current salvage value is about $9,000. Chatham is considering replacing them with propane models. New propane forklifts cost $58,000 each. After one year, they have a salvage value of $40,000, and thereafter decline in value at a declining-balance depreciation rate of 20 percent, as does the electric model from this time on. The MARR is 8 percent. Operating costs for the electric model will be $19,000 this year, rising by 12 percent per year. Operating costs for the propane model will initially be $11,000 over the first year, rising by 12 percent per year. Should Chatham Automotive replace the forklifts now?

You purchased a machine four years ago at a cost of $5,000. It has a book value of $1,300. It can be sold now for $2,300, or it could be used for three more years, at the end of which time it would have no salvage value. Assuming it is kept for three more years, what is the amount of economic loss during this ownership?
Nodhead College needs a new computer. It can either buy it for $295,000 or lease it from Compulease. The lease terms require Nodhead to make six annual payments (prepaid) of $71,000. Nodhead pays no tax. Compulease pays tax at 35%. Compulease can depreciate the computer for tax purposes straight-line over five years. The computer will have no residual value at the end of year 5. The interest rate is 6%. a. What is the NPV of the lease for Nodhead College? b. What is the NPV for Compulease?
14.3 Air Links, a commuter airline company, is considering replacing one of its baggage handling machines with a newer and more efficient one. The current book value of the old machine is $50,000, and it has a remaining useful life of five years. The salvage value expected from scrapping the old machine at the end of five years is zero, but the company. can sell the machine now to another firm in the industry for $10,000. The new baggage handling machine has a purchase price of $120,000 and an estimated useful life of seven years. It has an estimated salvage value of $30,000 and is expected to realize economic savings on electric power usage, labor, and repair costs and also to reduce the amount of damaged luggage. In total, an annual savings of $50,000 will be realized if the new machine is installed. The firm uses a 15% MARR. Using the opportunity cost approach, (a) What is the initial cash outlay required for the new machine? (b) What are the cash flows for the defender in years 0…
Management of Plascencia Corporation is considering whether to purchase a new model 370 machine costing $464,000 or a new model 220 machine costing $405,000 to replace a machine that was purchased 10 years ago for $439,000. The old machine was used to make product 143L until it broke down last week. Unfortunately, the old machine cannot be repaired. Management has decided to buy the new model 220 machine. It has less capacity than the new model 370 machine, but its capacity is sufficient to continue making product 143L. Management also considered, but rejected, the alternative of simply dropping product 143L. If that were done, instead of investing $405,000 in the new machine, the money could be invested in a project that would return a total of $456,000. In making the decision to invest in the model 220 machine, the opportunity cost was:
**This is problem 11.2, but with tax details Komatsu Cutting Technologies is considering replacing one of its CNC machines with one that is newer and more efficient. The firm purchased the CNC machine 10 years ago at a cost of $150,000. The machine had an expected economic life of 12 years at the time of purchase and an expected salvage value of $12,000 at the end of the 12 years. The original salvage estimate is still good, and the machine has a remaining useful life of 2 years. The firm can sell this old machine now to another firm in the industry for $35,000. A new machine can be purchased for $175,000, including installation costs. It has an estimated useful (economic) life of 8 years. The new machine is expected to reduce the cash operating expenses by $30,000 per year over its 8-year life, at the end of which the machine is estimated to be worth only $5000. The company has a MARR of 12%. The asset is classified as a Class 43 Property with a CCA rate of %30. The firm’s marginal…

A new bottle-capping machine costs 65,000, including 8,000 for installation. The machine is expected to have a useful life of eight years with no salvage value at that time (assume straight-line depreciation). Operating and maintenace costs are expected to be 3,500 for the first year, increasing by 2,000 each year thereafter. Interest is 10%. Construct a spreadsheet that has the following headings: Year, Salvage Value, Maintenance Costs, EAC (Capital Costs), EAC (Operating Costs), and EAC (Total Costs). Compute the EAC (Total Costs) if the bottle capper is kept for n years, n = 1,...,8. What is the economic life of the bottle capper (in years)?
