Because total PW (10%) =
$150, which is > 0, the project is shown to be marginally acceptable.
Sample problem2: An existing machine in a factory has an annual maintenance cost of P40,000. A
new and more efficient machine will require an investment of P90,000 and
is estimated to have a
salvage value of P30,000 at the end of 8 years. Its annual expenses for maintenance and upkeep, etc
total is P22,000. If the company expects to earn 12%
on its investment,
will it be worthwhile to
purchase the new machine?
Solution:
PW for existing machine: P40,000 (P/A, 12%,8)
= P40,000 (4.9676) = 198,704
PW for new machine: P90,000 + P22,000 (P/A,12%,8)
– P30,000 (P/F,12%,8)
P90,000 + P22,000 (4.9676)
– P30,000 (0.4038)
P90,000 + 109,287
– 12,114
P187,173
Thus, it will be worthwhile to invest in the new machine.
Sample problem3: A piece of new equipment has been proposed by
engineers to increase the
productivity of a certain manual welding operation. The investment cost is $25,000, and the
equipment will have a market value of $5,000 at the end of a study period of five years. Increased
productivity attributable to the equipment will amount to $8,000 per year after extra operating costs
have been subtracted from the revenue generated by the additional production. If the firm‟s MARR
is 20% per year, is this proposal a sound one? Use the PW method.
