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

system will cost​ $75,000. A new system with improved technology can decrease labor hours by​ 20% compared to the used system. The new system will cost​ $150,000 to purchase and install. Both systems have a useful life of five years. The market value of the used system is expected to be​ $20,000 in five​ years, and the market value of the new system is anticipated to be​ $50,000 in five years. Current maintenance activity will require the used system to be operated eight hours per day for 20 days per month. If labor costs​ $40 per hour and the MARR is​ 1% per​ month, which system should be​ recommended?

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

Suppose that in 2010, the producer price index increases by 1.5 percent. as a result, economists most likely will predict that?
DiKsa [7]

Suppose in 2010, the producer price index increases by 1.5 percent. As a result, the economists are most likely to predict that the consumer price index will increase in the future.

The producer price index is used in order to measure inflation from the perspective of costs to industry. Thus, the producer price index measures the cost of a group of goods and services which are purchased by firms.

Whereas the consumer price index refers to an average of the prices received by producers of goods and services at all the stages of the production process. Thus, when the producer price index increases by 1.5 percent, this is the indication that consumer price index will increase in the future.

Hence, higher producer prices means that consumers will pay more when they buy.
