In the use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVS) that will shape the future of UAV applications, an online shopping company wants to purchase a group of UAVS. As cargo drones are a proven technology for the logistics industry to obtain faster, more environmentally friendly service. The installation cost is 16000 TL and will reduce current expenses by 2400 TL per year for eight years. If the MARR İS 10% per year: a) Find the minimum salvage value after eight years that makes the UAVS worth purchasing? b) Find the UAV'S IRR If the salvage value is negligible? Use PW for linear interpolation.

In a bio-based material recycling company, the operation managers are considering a twin-screw extruder with a price of 12,000 OMR and another 2,000 OMR will be spent for shipping and installation of the extruder. The estimated net income generated from this machine is 3,500 OMR per year. The extruder will be used for 5 years, and then it will be sold for an estimated market value of 2,500 OMR. The extruder MARCS property class is 5 years. If the effective income tax rate (t) is 40% and the after-tax MARR is 10%. (a) What is the after-tax IRR for this project? (use trial and error procedure and GDS) (b) Should this extruder be purchased by the company?
Gina Ripley, president of Dearing Company, is considering the purchase of a computer-aided manufacturing system. The annual net cash benefits and savings associated with the system are described as follows: The system will cost 9,000,000 and last 10 years. The companys cost of capital is 12 percent. Required: 1. Calculate the payback period for the system. Assume that the company has a policy of only accepting projects with a payback of five years or less. Would the system be acquired? 2. Calculate the NPV and IRR for the project. Should the system be purchasedeven if it does not meet the payback criterion? 3. The project manager reviewed the projected cash flows and pointed out that two items had been missed. First, the system would have a salvage value, net of any tax effects, of 1,000,000 at the end of 10 years. Second, the increased quality and delivery performance would allow the company to increase its market share by 20 percent. This would produce an additional annual net benefit of 300,000. Recalculate the payback period, NPV, and IRR given this new information. (For the IRR computation, initially ignore salvage value.) Does the decision change? Suppose that the salvage value is only half what is projected. Does this make a difference in the outcome? Does salvage value have any real bearing on the companys decision?
Shonda & Shonda is a company that does land surveys and engineering consulting. They have an opportunity to purchase new computer equipment that will allow them to render their drawings and surveys much more quickly. The new equipment will cost them an additional $1.200 per month, but they will be able to increase their sales by 10% per year. Their current annual cost and break-even figures are as follows: A. What will be the impact on the break-even point if Shonda & Shonda purchases the new computer? B. What will be the impact on net operating income if Shonda & Shonda purchases the new computer? C. What would be your recommendation to Shonda & Shonda regarding this purchase?
Suppose that you have just completed the mechanical design of a high-speed automated palletizer that has an investment cost of $3,000,000. The existing palletizer is quite old and has no salvage value. The market value for the new palletizer is estimated to be $300,000 after seven years. One million pallets will be handled by the palletizer each year during the seven-year expected project life. What net savings per pallet (i.e., total savings less expenses) will have to be generated by the palletizer to justify this purchase in view of a MARR of 20% per year?
You have been asked to evaluate two alternatives, X and Y, that may increase plant capacity for manufacturing high-pressure hydraulic hoses. The parameters associated with each alternative have been estimated. Which one should be selected on the basis of a present worth comparison at an interest rate of 10% per year? Why is yours the correct choice? Alternative First Cost Maintenance cost, per Year Salvage Value Life X $-25,000 $-8000 $1,000 5 years Y $-55,000 $-2000 $2,000 5 years and that of alternative Y is $1 The present worth of alternative X is $. Alternativ (Click to select) is selected by the company.
You are considering a CNC machine. This machine will have an estimated service life of 10 years with a salvage value of 10% of the investment cost. Its expected savings from annual operating and maintenance costs are estimated to be $60,000. To expect a 15% rate of return on investment, what would be the maximum amount that you are willing to pay for the machine? (your answer must be rounded off to the nearest dollars, i.e., no decimal places) Note:- Do not provide handwritten solution. Maintain accuracy and quality in your answer. Take care of plagiarism. Answer completely. You will get up vote for sure.
