A company plans to spend $3,700,000 on equipment. The equipment will be depreciated using the MACRS method and a 5-year recovery period. The company uses a study period of 6 years for these types of purchases and plans to keep the equipment indefinitely. Gross income is expected to be $900,000 in year 1 and increase by $170,000 each year. Annual operating expenses are expected to be $50,000 in year 1 and increase by $70,000 each year. The company’s combined marginal tax rate is 39%. A portion of the after-tax cash flow analysis is shown below.

A cherry processing facility in Northern Michigan processes both sweet and tart cherries for local growers. The facility needs to install a new cherry pitter.

The facility uses a before-tax MARR of 10% per year for these types of decisions. 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]
