Question
Consider the replacement situation indicated in the talbe below. If estimates beyond 10 years are unreliable and if the MARR is 12%, decide whether if it is expedient to replace the current equipment salvage value original annual Now End of life cost cost service life Current $8,000 $1,000 $17,000 $3,600 10 more years Replacement $6,000 $19,000 $800 20 years You are considering a project with the following financial data: Required initial investment at n = 0: $50M Project life: 10 years Estimated annual revenue: $X (unknown) Estimated annual operating cost: $15M Required minimum return 20% per year Salvage value of the project: 15% of the initial investment What is the minimum annual revenue (in $M) must be generated to make the project worthwile? X = 26.64 M X = 32.47 M X = 28.38 M X = 35.22 MExplanation / Answer
Q 2
NPW should be 0
Hence X/1.2+X/1.2^2 +X/1.2^3......X/1.2^10 +0.15*50/1.2^10 - (15/1.2+15/1.2^2 +15/1.2^3......15/1.2^10) =50 million
Solving you will get 26.64 million
