5. Example 3:
You need to know if the building of a new warehouse is justified under the following conditions:
The proposal is for a warehouse costing $ The warehouse has an expected useful life of 35 years and a net salvage value of $ Annual receipts of $17000 are expected, annual maintenance and administrative costs will be $4000, and annual income taxes are $2000.
Given this data, which of the following are correct?
(a) The proposal is justified for a MARR of 9%.
(b) The proposal has a net present worth of $ , when 6% is used as the interest rate.
(c) The proposal is acceptable as long as MARR≤10.77%.

Answer: Choose Spray Guns With Overhead Monorail

9. Example 5:
Before your company writes the purchase order for the paint system selected in Example 4 it is announced that the production of metal door frames will be discontinued in 4 years. Assuming that the salvage value is constant at any time after the system is installed, which will you now choose? Your MARR is still 18% and you still use present worth analysis. Show your cash flow diagrams.

13. Example 7:
Consider the following cash flows for two types of models. Both models will have no salvage value upon their disposal (at the end of their respective service lives). The firm’s MARR is known to be 15%. (a) Notice that models have different service lives. However, model A will be available in the future with the same cash flows. Model B is available now only. If you select model B now, you will have to replace it with model A at the end of year 2. If your firm uses the present worth as a decision criterion, which model should be selected assuming that your firm will need either model for an indefinite period? (b) Suppose that your firm will need either model for only two years. Determine the salvage value of model A at the end of year two that makes both models indifferent (equally likely).

15. Example 8:
Susan wants to buy a car that she will keep for the next four years. She can buy a Honda Civic at and then sell it for 8000 after four years. If she bought this car, what would be her annual ownership cost (capital recovery cost)? Assume that her interest rate is 6%.

17. Example 9:
The following cash flows represent the potential annual savings associated with two different types of production processes, each of which requires an investment of Assuming an interest rate of 15%, complete the following tasks: (a) Determine the equivalent annual savings for each process. (b) Determine the hourly savings for each process assuming 2000 hours of operation per year. (c) Determine which process should be selected. n A B

19. Example 10:
Norton Auto Parts, Inc. is considering two different forklift trucks for use in its assembly plant.
Truck A costs and requires 3000 annually in operating expenses. It will have a 5000 salvage value at the end of its 3-year service life.
Truck B costs and requires 2000 annually in operating expenses. It will have a 8000 salvage value at the end of its 4-year service life.
The firm’s MARR is 12%. Assuming that the trucks are needed for 12 years and no significant changes are expected in the future price and functional capacity of both trucks, select the most economical truck based on AE analysis.

20. Capital Recovery Cost

21. Example 11:
Your company needs a small front loader for handling bulk materials at the plant. It can be leased from the dealer for three years for $4050 per year including all maintenance. It can also be purchased for $14,000. You expect the loader to last for six years and to have a salvage value of $3000. You predict that maintenance will cost $400 the first year and increase by $200 per year in each year after the first. Your MARR is 15%. Use annual equivalence analysis to determine whether to lease or buy the loader. What is the shortest project life for which the annual worths you have calculated are exactly correct?
