A piece of equipment has a first cost of $170,000, a maximum useful life of 7 years, and a market (salvage) value described by t

he relation S = 120,000 – 11,000k, where k is the number of years since it was purchased. The salvage value cannot go below zero. The AOC series is estimated using AOC = 60,000 + 14,000k. The interest rate is 12% per year. Determine the economic service life and the respective AW.

Answer:The answer is economic service life is 8 Years, The Annual worth is $27,225.7

Explanation:

Given the equation

S = 120,000 - 11,000K,and AOC is 60,000 - 14,000K, where K is the number of years since the machine was purchased

Substitute the value of K into the equation

S= 120,000 - 11,000 (7)

S = 120,000 - 11,000 ×7

S= 120,000 - 77,000

S= 43,000

AOC = 60,000 - 14,000 (7)

AOC = 60,000 - 14,000 × 7

AOC = 60,000 - 98,000

A

To calculate the economic useful life,we use the equivalent annual cost( EAC)

Yr particular. CF DF. PV

0. Purchase cost 170,000. 1. ( 170,000)

1-7. Running cost. (38,000) 0.4523. 17,187.4

1-7. Scrap proceed. 43,000. 0.4523. 19,448.9

PV. 133,363.7

Discount Factor is calculated thus

(1 + r)-∧n , since r = 12% ,n = 7 (1+0.12)∧-7 = 0.4523

8years replacement

Yr. Particular. CF. DF. PV

0. Purchase cost. 170,000 1. (170,000)

1-7. Running cost. (38,000) 0.4523. 17,187.4

1-7. Scrap proceed 43,000. 0.4523. 19,448.9

8 Scrap proceed 43,000. 0.4523. 19,448.9

-------------------

113,914.8

--------------------------

Finding the 7years replacement at the cost of capital using (1+r)∧-n/r

= (1+0.12)∧-7 -1/0.12

= (1.12)∧-7 -1/0.12

= 0.4523-1/0.12

=0.5477/0.12

= 4.5642

Therefore Equivalent Annual Cost

= 133,363.7/4.5642

= $29,219.51

8years replacementat the cost of capital using

(1+r)∧n -1/r

(1+0.12)∧-8 -1/0.12

=(1.12)∧-8 -1/0.12

= 0.4038 -1/0.12

=0.5962/0.12

=4.9683

EAC = 113,914.8/4.9683

= $22,928.33

Since they are both cost we prefer the cheapest, that is 8 years replacement

Therefore the economic life of the machine is 8years

To calculate the AW, we use the formula

AW = -P ( P-S)(A/P r n ) - Sr

AW= -(170,000 - 43,000) ( A/P 12% 7) - 43,000 (0.12)

To calculate (A/P r n ),we use the formula

A= P i (1+ r)∧n/ (1 + r )∧n - 1

0.12 (1+0.12)∧7/(1+0.12)∧7-1

= 0.12 ( 1.12)∧7/(1.12)∧7 -1

0.12 (2.210681407)/1.21061407

= 0.265281768/1.210681407

= 0.2191

AW = -127,000,000 (0.2191) --38,000 - 43,000 (0.12)

= 27,825.7 - 5,000 (0.12)

= 27,825.7 - 600

= $27,225.7

Therefore the economic life is 8years, Annual worth is $27,225.7

Careco Company and Audaco Inc are identical in size and capital structure. However, the riskiness of their assets and cash flows
LenKa [72]

Answer:

E) if the firm evaluates these projects and all other projects at the new overall corporate wacc, it will probably become riskier over time.

Explanation:

Before the merger, Audaco would have rejected any project with an IRR of less than 12% (more risky investments) while Careco only required a 10% IRR (less risky projects). But after the merger the combined WACC will be lower than Audaco's, but higher than Careco's. Therefore, the new merged company will start accepting more risky projects and that tendency will continue over time. Eventually, the company's WACC will have to adjust and increase, and the cycle will continue.

A company with a high ratio of fixed costs:
garik1379 [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is: more likely to experience a loss when sales are down than a company with mostly variable costs.

Explanation:

The fixed cost ratio is a simple ratio that divides fixed costs by net sales.

The profit formula is:

Profit = Sales- Total cost =(Price * Q)-(FC + VC*Q)

Where  

FC=Fixed cost

VC= variable cos t

Q=produce quantity

If sales go down,  we have to pay this fixed cost even if we have no sales.  So if this Fixed cost are high ,  is most likely we are going to experience loss

Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

A rain barrel is a container that captures and stores rainwater for landscape and garden use during dry periods. Rain barrels provide an external benefit to the community through water conservation. If the government offers a per unit subsidy on rain barrels equal to the per-unit externality, then the after-subsidy equilibrium quantity of rain barrels will be more than the socially optimal quantity of rain barrels.
