NPV=-1500000+((420000-1500000/5)*(1-40%)+1500000/5)/10%*(1-1/1.1^N)
For
N=5:NPV=-1500000+((420000-1500000/5)*(1-40%)+1500000/5)/10%*(1-1/1.1^5)=-89827.32178
As NPV is negative, N>5:
Hence,
-89827.32178+(420000)*(1-40%)/10%*(1-1/1.1^t)*1/1.1^5=0
=>t=ln(1/(1-89827.32178/((420000)*(1-40%)/10%)*1.1^5))/ln(1.1)
=>t=0.620307298
Hence, the contractor must operate the equipment 5.620307298 or

A contractor is considering the purchase of a set of machine tools at a cost of $50,000. The purchase is expected to generate profits of $19,000 (revenues less expenses) per year in each of the next 4 years Additional profits will be taxed at a rate of 40%. The asset is depreciated by straight-line method with zero salvage value. The contractor's real after-tax MARR is 10% (25%) 3.1. What is the PW of this investment? Should the contractor...

4 The capital investment for a new machine is $900,000. The current estimated annual expense is $100,000.This expense is estimated to increase at the rate of 6 per year. Assume that f (inflation rate) -5, N-5 years, Mv at the end of year seven is 10% of the capital investment, and the after-tax MARR (inflation-free) is 10 per year.

One year ago, your company purchased a machine used in manufacturing for $90,000. You have learned that a new machine is available that offers many advantages; you can purchase it $150,000 today. It will be depreciated on a straight-line basis over ten years, after which it has no salvage value. You expect that the new machine will contribute EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization) of $45,000 per year for the next ten years. The current machine is expected...

A computer chip manufacturer spent $2,540,000 to develop a special-purpose molding machine. The machine has been used for one year and is expected to be obsolete after an additional 3 years. The company uses straight-line (SLN) depreciation for this machine. At the beginning of the second year, a machine salesperson offers a new, vastly more efficient machine. This machine will cost $2,040,000, reduce annual cash manufacturing costs from $1,840,000 to $1,040,000, and have zero disposal value at the end of...
