Practice Problems of Annual, Present & Future Worth Analysis

Q#1 A Robot must be purchased & install to automate the operation. Robot purchased
price is Rs. 200,000/- and annual maintenance & operation cost is Rs. 64,000/- and
annual generated revenue is Rs. 100,000/- with 10 years useful life and no scrap value.
Company will accept any investment that can earn at least 12% interest per year. is the
given investment justifiable for company? Evaluate on the basis of PW, AW & FW.
Q#2 An investment of Rs. 10,000/- can be made in a project that will produce a uniform
annual revenue of Rs. 5,310/- for five years and then have a scrap value of Rs. 2000/-.
Annual expenses will be Rs. 3000/- each year. The company is willing to accept any
project that will earn 10% per year or more before income taxes on all invested
capital. Show whether this is desirable investment by using PW method.
Q#3 A piece of new equipment has been proposed by engineers to increase the production
of a certain manual welding operation. The investment cost is Rs. 25,000/- and the
equipment will have a market value of Rs. 5000/- at the end of study period of five
years. Increased productivity attributes to the equipment will amount to Rs. 8000/-
per year. MARR=20%. Is this proposal a sound one? Use PW method.
Q#4 You purchased a building five years ago for Rs. 100,000/-. Its annual maintenance
expense has been Rs. 5000/- per year. At the end of three years, you spent Rs. 9000/-
on roof repairs. At the end of five years, you sell the building for Rs. 120,000/-. During
the period of ownership, you rented the building for Rs. 10,000/- per year paid. Use
AW method.
Q#5 A consulting engineering firm is considering two models of automobiles for the
company principals. A US model will have a first cost of Rs. 22,000/-, an annual
operating cost of Rs. 2000/- and a scrap value of Rs. 12,000/- after 3 years. A Japanese
model will have a first cost of Rs. 26,000/- an operating cost is Rs. 1200/- and a Rs.
15,000/- scrap value after 3 years. At an interest rate of 15% which model should the
consulting firm buy? Analyse PW.
Q#6 A remotely located air sampling station can be powered by solar cells or by running an
electric line to the site and using conventional power. Solar cells will cost Rs. 12,600/-
to install and will have a useful life of 4 years with no salvage value. Annual cost for
inspection cleaning etc are expected to be Rs. 1400/-
A new power line will cost Rs. 11,000/- to install with power costs expected to be Rs.
800/- per year since the air sampling project will end in 4 years, the scrap value of the
line is zero.
MARR is 14%. Which alternative should be selected on PW analysis basis.
Q#7 An industrial engineer is considering two robots or purchased by a fibre-optic
manufacturing company. Robot X will have a first cost of Rs. 82,000/-, an annual
maintenance & operation cost of Rs. 30,000/- and a scrap value of Rs. 40,000/-
Robot Y will have a first cost of Rs. 97,000/-, an annual maintenance & operation cost
is Rs. 27,000/- and a scrap value of Rs. 50,000/-
Which Robot should be selected on the basis of FW analysis at MARR is 15%, use a 3
years study period.
