Eg. 1.

The survey firm of Myers, Anderson, and Pope (MAP) LLP is considering the purchase of a piece of new
GPS equipment. Data concerning the alternative under consideration are presented below.

Initial outlay (year 0) $28,000


Annual Income $13,000
Annual Operating Costs $2,500 in year 1 and increase by $1000 each yr
Annual Insurance expenses $500
Recalibration at the end of year 4 $4,000
Salvage Value 10% of initial outlay

If the equipment has a life of eight years and MAP’s MARR is 5%,

a. Calculate the annual equivalent revenues (Total Revenues)


TR = Annual income + Salvage value = 13,000 + (0.1 x 28,000 (A/F, 5%,8) = 13,293.16

b. Calculate the annual equivalent cost (Total cost)


Initial outlay = 28,000(A/P, 5%, 8) = 4,331.6
Operating cost = 2500 + 1000(A/G,5%,8) = 5,744
Insurance = 500
Recalibration end of year 4 = 4,000(P/F, 5%, 4)(A/P, 5%, 8) = 418.8
TC = 10,994

c. Based on your answer in (a) and (b) above, should MAP purchase the equipment?
Profit = TR – TC = 13,293 – 10,994 = 2,299 Yes

Eg. 2 Ronald McDonald decides to install a fuel storage system for his farm that will save him an estimated 6.5
cents/gallon on his fuel cost. He uses an estimated 20,000 gallons/year on his farm. Initial cost of the
system is $10,000 and the annual maintenance the first year is $25 and increases by $25 each year
thereafter. After a period of 10 years the estimated salvage is $3,000. If money is worth 12%, is it a wise
investment?

Annual equivalent cost = 10,000(A/P, 12%, 10) + 25 + 25(A/G, 12%, 10) = $1,884.63
Annual equivalent savings/revenues = 20,000(.065) + 3,000(A/F, 12%, 10) = $1,471.00
Annual equivalent worth = -$413.63 ∴ not a wise investment

Eg.3 Calculate the AW for the following cash flow. Assume the MARR is 12% per year
Year Amount
Initial investment 0 8 million
Initial investment 1 5 million
Annual operating cost 1-8 0.9 million
Salvage value 8 0.5 million

Method I:
Annual Worth = [- 8 - 5(P/F,12%,1)](A/P,12%,8) – 0.9 + 0.5(A/F,12%,8)
= [-8.0-5.0*(.8929)](.2013) - 0.9 + 0.5*(.0813)
= $-3.37 million

Method II:
CR = [-8.0 - 5.0(P/F,12%,1) + 0.5(P/F,12%,8)](A/P,12%,8)
= [-8.0-5.0*(.8929) + 0.5*(.4039)](.2013)
= $-3.37 million
