Assignment 2
1. A company expects to install smog control equipment on the exhaust of a gasoline engine.
The local smog control district has agreed to pay the firm a lump sum of money to provide
for the first cost of the equipment and maintenance during its 10-year useful life. At the end
of 10 years the equipment, which initially cost $10,000, is valueless. The company and smog
control district have agreed that the following are reasonable estimates of the end-of-year
maintenance costs:

Year Maintenance Cost ($) Year Maintenance Cost ($)
1 500 6 200
2 100 7 225
3 125 8 250
4 150 9 275
5 175 10 300

Assuming interest at 6% a year, how much should the smog control district pay to the
company now to provide for the first cost of the equipment and its maintenance for 10
years?

2. Consider the following three mutually exclusive alternatives:

A B C
Cost ($) 10,000 15,000 20,000
Uniform annual benefit ($) 1,000 1,762 5,548

investment earn?
Answer




Page 2/6
4. Installing an automated production system costing $278,000 initially is expected to save Zia

Assignment 4
1. A company is considering buying a new bottle-capping machine. The initial cost of the
machine is $325,000, and it has a 10-year life. Monthly maintenance costs are expected to be
$1,200 a month for the first seven years and $2,000 a month for the remaining years. The
machine requires a major overhaul costing $55,000 at the end of the fifth year of service.
Assume that all these costs occur at the end of the relevant period. What is the future value
of all the costs of owning and operating this machine if the nominal interest rate is 7.2%?

Answer

of the following alternatives should be selected.

A B C D E
Initial Cost ($) 100 200 300 400 500
Uniform annual benefit ($) 37 69 83 126 150

b) Benefit-cost-ratio analysis
c) Payback period analysis



Answer

its six-year depreciable life. Compute the depreciation schedule for this asset by both SOYD
depreciation and DDB depreciation.

Answer




2. The depreciation schedule for an asset with a salvage value of $90 at the end of the recovery
period has been computed by several methods. Identify the depreciation method used for
each schedule.

3. A man bought a 5% tax-free provincial bond. It cost $1,000 and will pay $50 interest each
year for 20 years. At maturity the bond returns the original $1,000. If there is 2% annual
inflation, what real rate of return will the investor receive?

Answer




4. Pollution control equipment must be purchased to remove the suspended organic material
from liquid being discharged from a vegetable packing plant. Two different pieces of
equipment are available that would accomplish the task. A Filterco unit costs $7,000 and has
a five-year useful life. A Duro unit, on the other hand, costs $10,000 but will have a 10-year
useful life. With inflation, equipment costs rise at 8% per year, compounded annually, so
that when the Filterco unit needed to be replaced, the cost would be much more than $7,000.
Using a 10-year analysis period and a 20% minimum attractive rate of return, calculate
which piece of pollution control equipment should be purchased.

5. Homeowner Henry is building a fireplace for his house. The fireplace will require 800
bricks.

a) If the cost of a chimney brick in 1978 was $2.10, calculate the material cost of Henry’s
project in in 1998. The chimney brick index (CBI) was 442 in 1978 and is expected to be
618 in 1998.
b) Estimate the cost of materials for a similar fireplace to be built in the year 2008. What
assumption did you make?

Answer




b- Here we need f% of brick cost
CBI (1978)= 442
CBI (1998)= 618
n= 20
i*= ?
i*= (618/442)1/20 – 1= 1.69%
We assume the past average inflation rate continues for 10 more years.
Brick unit cost in 2008= 2.94 (F/P, 1.69%,10)= $3.48
Total Material Cost= 800 * 3.48= $2,784
