An analyst recently obtained the following estimates. Preliminary feasibility study (this year, year 0) $6,000 Purchase & install system (this year, year 0) $260,000 Annual operating costs (years 1-8) $16,000 in year 1, increasing by $3,000 each year Salvage value (year 8) $26,000 Other phase-out activities (year 8) $4,500 The cherry pitter would be used for eight years. The facility uses a before-tax MARR of 8% per year for these types of decisions. (Round to nearest dollar.) What is the capital recovery (CR) cost of the system? $[cr] What is the annual equivalent worth of the operating costs? $[aoc] What is the annual equivalent cost of this project? $[aec]

In order to expand tele-health services, a provider must invest in technology for video and audio calls. The cost for the new equipment is $1,900,000. The equipment would be depreciated as a 5-year property using the MACRS method. Gross income from this investment is expected to be $750,000 in year 1 and increase by $30,000 each year. Annual operating expenses are expected to be $150,000 in year 1 and increase by $20,000 each year. The provider’s combined marginal tax rate is 39%. The provider uses a study period of 6 years for these purchases and plans to keep the equipment indefinitely.
