A machine cost PHP 2,250,000.00 to purchase. Fuel and minor maintenance are estimated to cost PHP 617.00 per operating hour (those hours when the engine is operating and the machine is doing work). A set of tires cost PHP 160,000 to replace, and their estimated life is 2,800 use hours. A PHP 300,000.00 major repair will probably be required after 4,200 hr of use. The machine is expected to last for 8,400 hr, after which it will be sold at a price (salvage value) equal to 10% of the original purchase price. A final set of new tires will not be purchased before the sale. How much should the owner of the machine charge per hour of use, if it is expected that the machine will operate 1,400 hr per year? The company's cost of capital rate is 7%.How much would be the expected profit from the equipment if the rate charge to the project is twice the minimum amount calculated in Prob. 1?
