In building a highway, the district engineer is faced with the alternatives of building a 4-lane underpass that would take care of all future needs of building or a 2-lane underpass now and a second underpass 20 years later. For the 4-lane underpass:First cost = ₱ 400,000Annual maintenance cost = ₱ 10,000No salvage valueFor the 2-lane underpass:First cost = ₱ 270,000Annual maintenance cost = ₱ 8,000No salvage valueWhich of the following gives us the best alternative that should be adopted by showing the difference of its equivalent present worth
The council members of a small town have decided that the earth levee that protects the town from flooding should be rebuilt and strengthened. The town engineer estimates that the cost of the work at the end of the first year will be $68,000. He estimates that in subsequent years the annual repair costs will decline by $7000, making the second-year cost $61,000; the third-year $54,000, and so forth. The council members want to know what the equivalent present cost is for the first 5 years of repair work if interest is 6%.
A large mudslide caused by heavy rains will cost Sabino County $1,000,000 per occurrence in lost property tax revenues. In any given year, there is one chance in 100 that a major mudslide will occur. A civil engineer has proposed constructing a culvert on a mountain where mudslides are likely. This culvert will reduce the likelihood of a mudslide to near zero. The investment cost would be $50,000, and annual maintenance expenses would be $2,000 in the first year, increasing by 5% per year thereafter. If the life of the culvert is expected to be 20 years and the cost of capital to Sabino County is 7% per year, should the culvert be built?
A city is evaluating the installation of a garbage incinerator on the outskirts of town. The cost of the unit is $2 million. Environmental impact studies cost $25,000 to be paid prior to construction begins. Annual costs are estimated to include: Plant operating expenses: $30,000. Environmental remediation expenses: $32,000. As a benefit of the incinerator, a cost reduction of $12 per year is estimated to be on the bill of the company's 35,000 customers. The equipment is estimated to have a lifespan of 10 years, after which the incinerator will be dismantled at a cost of $45,000. Assuming the money is raised at 4% interest, how much is the profit ratio at cost of this project? a. 1.625 b. 1.597 c. 1.634 d. 1.651 e. None of the above
In 2016, the city of Abu Dhabi collected $24 million in fines from motorists because of traffic violations caught by red-light cameras. The cost of operating the system was $14.5 million. The net profit, that is, profit after operating costs, is split equally (that is, 50% each) between the city and the operator of the camera system. What will be the rate of return over a 3-year period to the contractor that paid for, installed, and operates the system, if its initial cost was $10 million and the profit for each of the 3 years is the same as it was in 2016? Should the company invest in this project at MARR of 15% per year?
On January 2, 2011, Blink Corporation was granted 5,000 acres of land in a village, located near the slums outside city limits, by a local government authority. The condition attached to this grant was that Blink Corporation should clean up this land and lay roads by employing laborers from the village in which the land is located. The government has fix the minimum wage payable to the workers. The entire operation will take three years and is estimated to cost P100,000,000. This amount will be spent in this way, P20,000,000 each in the first, P30,000,000 in the second years and P50,000,000 in the third year. The fair value of the land is currently P120,000,000. What portion of the grant is recognized for the year ended December 31, 2012?
A village recently completed the construction of a new water tower. The entire cost of the water tower was $948,000, and the government paid $360,000 of the total cost through the awarding of a grant. In addition, the village can delay paying the balance of the cost for 40 years (without paying any interest during the 40 years). To finance the balance, the village board will at this time assess its 511 homeowners a one-time flat fee surcharge and then invest this money in a 40-year CD paying 7.1% interest compounded monthly. Complete parts (a) through (c) below. a) What is the balance due on the water tower? $ b) How much will the village need to invest at this time to raise the balance due in 40 years? (Round to the nearest cent as needed.) $ c) What amount should each homeowner pay as a surcharge? $
A municipality is planning on constructing a water treatment plant at an initial cost of $10,000,000. Every 5 years, major repairs and cleanup are required at a cost of $2,000,000. Due to the necessity to remove sludge and make minor repairs, annual costs of operating the treatment plant are estimated to be $700,000, $775,000, $850,000, $925,000, and $1,000,000 each year leading up to the 5-year major repair and cleanup. Based on a 4%/year TVOM, what is the capitalized cost for the water treatment plant?

In building a highway, the district engineer is faced with the alternatives of building a four-lane underpass that would take care of all future needs of building a two-lane underpass now and a second two-lane underpass 20 years later. The four-lane underpass would cost 400,000 and has a maintenance cost of 10,000 per year during the 40 years it is expected an underpass will be needed. The two-lane underpass will cost 270,000 each and each would have a maintenance cost of 8,000 per year. if financing costs are 5%, which alternative should be adopted and compute the difference of its equivalent present worth. assume zero salvage value for each alternative at the end of 40 years. Use present worth method.
Anderson County has 35 older-model school buses that will be salvaged for $5,000 each. These buses cost $144,000 per year for fuel and maintenance. Now the county will purchase 35 new school buses for $40,000 each. They will travel an average of 2,000 miles per day for a total of 360,000 miles per year. These new buses will save $10,000 per year in fuel (compared with the older buses) for the entire group of 35 buses. If the new buses will be driven for 15 years and the county’s MARR is 6% per year, what is the equivalent uniform annual cost of the new buses if they have negligible market value after 15 years?
