An airport needs a modern material handling system for facilitating access to and from a busy maintenance hangar. A second-hand

Arlecino [84]

Answer:

The second hand machine should be chosen given that the NPV value is lower than that of the new system

Explanation:

cost of second hand system = $75,000

cost of new system = $150,000

New system can decrease labor hours by 20%

number of useful life ( for both systems ) = 5 years

market value of second hand system after 5 years = $20,000

market value of new system after 5 years = $50,000

Second hand system can operate for 8 hours/day for 20 days = 8*20 = 160 hours per month = 1920 hours per year

labor cost = $40 per hour

MARR = 1% per month

<u> Determine the system that should be recommended</u>

we have to calculate the NPV for both options

for Option 1 ( second hand system )

labor cost = 40 * 1920 = $76800

cost of purchase = $75,000

MARR = 12% p.a.

residual value = $20000

First step : calculate the PV of maintenance cost = $76800× PVAF(12%, 5 years) = $276864

Next : calculate the PV of residual value =$20000× PVF(12%, 5th year)

= $11340

NPV = (75000 + 276864 - 11340 ) = $340,524

for Option 2 ( New Machine )

Labor cost = ( 1920 × 0.8 )hours ×40 = $61440

cost of machine = $150000

Pv of labor cost = 61440×3.605 = $221491.20

Residual value = $50,000

Hence ; PV of residual value = 50000 × 0.567 = $28350

Finally calculate the NPV = (150000+221491.20-28350) = $343,141.20

Mobray Corp. is experiencing rapid growth. Dividends are expected to grow at 24 percent per year during the next three years, 14

White raven [17]

Answer:

$1.25

Explanation:

dividend growth:

year growth rate dividends

1 24% Div₁ = 1.24Div₀

2 24% Div₂ = 1.24²Div₀ = 1.5376Div₀

3 24% Div₃ = 1.24³Div₀ = 1.906624Div₀

4 14% Div₄ = 1.906624Div₀ x 1.14 = 2.17355136Div₀

indefinite 8% Div₅ = 2.17355136Div₀ x 1.08 = 2.347435Div₀

required rate of return = 10%

current stock price = $86

stock price for terminal growth rate = Div₅ / (10% - 8%) = Div₅ / 2% = 117.3717734Div₀

current stock price = $86 = 1.24Div₀/1.1 + 1.5376Div₀/1.1² + 1.906624Div₀/1.1³ + 2.17355136Div₀/1.1⁴ + 117.3717734Div₀/1.1⁴ = 1.12727Div₀ + 1.27074Div₀ + 1.43247Div₀ + 1.48456Div₀ + 80.1665Div₀ = 85.48154Div₀

$86 = 85.48154Div₀

Div₀ = $86 / 85.48154 = $1.006065

Div₁ = 1.24 x $1.006065 = $1.2475 ≈ $1.25
