    Q.7 Two years ago, a machine was purchased at a cost of INR 3,50,000 to be useful for eight years.
    Its salvage value at the end of its life is 40,000. The annual maintenance cost is INR 30,000. The
    market value of the present machine is INR 2,25,000.
    Now, a new machine to cater to the need of the present machine is available at INR 2,80,000 to
    be useful for six years. It’s annual maintenance cost is INR 18,000. The salvage value of the new
    machine is INR 30,000. Using an interest rate of 12%, recommend on the buying options.

    Q. 8 Compare two alternatives available for using equipment on construction project for project
    duration of 8 years. Consider MARR 14% for both cases. Recommend on the buying options.
    Alternative A: Buy new equipment at first cost of INR 65 lakh with net annual return of INR 9.8
    lakh and salvage value is 10% of its first cost.
    Alternative B: Buy second hand equipment at cost of INR 35 lakh with net annual return of INR
    4.8 lakh and useful life of 4 year with salvage value of 10 % of its buying cost.
    Q.9 A construction equipment purchased of INR 3,00,000. It’s life is 10 years and salvage value is
    10%. Calculate annual depreciation by straight line method. Calculate book value at the end of
    each year for 4 years.
    Q.10 Estimate book value of equipment at the end of each year of the ownership from following data.
    • Initial book value of equipment = INR 25,00,000
    • Period of ownership = 5 years
    • Salvage value = 2,00,000
    • Method of depreciation = sum of digit methods
    • Interest rate = 16 %
