Consider a project with a first cost (investment) of $250,000, an annual O&M cost of $50,000, annual revenue of $160,000, and a salvage value of $40,000 after a 10-year life. Find the annual worth of the project assuming an interest of 13% per year.

• A manufacturing company is considering the purchase of a new CNC lathe, which will cost $60,000 and has an annual maintenance cost of $8,000. A few parts in the lathe need to be replaced once every 5 years to enable smooth running of the lathe. This would cost an additional $20,000 (once every 5 years). Assuming that the lathe would last 15 years under these conditions, what is the total equivalent cost (present value) of this investment at an interest rate of 12%? (Assume that there will be no appreciable salvage value at the end of 15 years.)

• You just purchased a pin inserting machine to relieve some bottleneck problems that have been created in manufacturing a PC board. The machine cost $56,000 and has an estimated service life of 5 years. At that time, the estimated salvage value would be $5,000. The machine is expected to operate 2,500 hours per year. The expected annual operating and maintenance cost would be $6,000. If your firm’s interest rate is 15%, what would be the machine cost per hour?

• Consider a machine that costs $20,000 and has a five-year useful life.At the end of the five years, it can be sold for $4,000 after all tax adjustments have been factored in. If the firm could earn an after-tax revenue of $4,400 per year with this machine, should it be purchased at an interest rate of 10%? (All benefits and costs associated with the machine are accounted for in these figures.)
