Engineering economy - ENGR 3322 The International Parcel Service has installed a new radio frequency identification system to help reduce the number of packages that are incorrectly delivered. The capital investment in the system is $65,000, and the projected annual savings are tabled below. The system’s market value at the EOY five is negligible, and the MARR is 18% per year. Calculate the present worth of the project. a. $ 35,730 b. $ 36,730 c. $ 37,730 d. None of the choices
P is using an 11% annual interest rate to decide if they should buy Truck A or Truck B. Which truck is more economical to buy, assuming that the two trucks serve similarfunctions and purposes? Use (a) Annual Cost Method (b) Present Worth Method, (c) Rateof Return on Additional Investment method. Formulas to be used: Rate of return on additional investment =(Savings of Benefits / Additional Capital) x 100% ROR≥ MARR (Choose the alternative with larger capital) ROR ≤ MARR (Choose the alternative with lesser capital investment)
1. The Present Worth Method A project your firm is considering for implementation has these estimated costs and revenues: an investment cost of $50,000; maintenance costs that start at $5,000 at the end of year (EOY) 1 and increase by $1,000 for each of the next 4 years, and then remain constant for the following 5 years; savings of $20,000 per year (EOY 1–10); and finally a resale value of $35,000 at the EOY 10. If the project has a 10-year life and the firm’s MARR is 10% per year, what is the present worth of the project? Is it a sound investment opportunity?
5-27image If produced by Method A, a product’s initial capital cost will be $100,000, its annual operating cost will be $20,000, and its salvage value after 3 years will be $20,000. With Method B there is a first cost of $150,000, an annual operating cost of $10,000, and a $50,000 salvage value after its 3-year life. Based on a present worth analysis at a 15% interest rate, which method should be used?
Methods of Economy Studies An investment of P 250,000 can be made in a project that will produce a uniform annual revenue of P 192,800 for 5 years and then have a salvage value of 10% of the first cost. Operation and maintenance will be P 72,000 per year. Taxes and insurance will be 4% of the first cost per year. The company expects capital to earn 20% before income taxes. Show whether or not the investment is justified economically using1. Present Worth (PW) method2. Future Worth (FW) method3. Annual Worth (AW) method4. Rate of Return (ROR) method5. Payback (Payout) method
4) Which of the following power plants is better investment, assuming 8% interest on the sinking fund and no salvage value in either case, taxes/insurance at 10% and interest on capital at 12%. Use ROR and Present Worth Method. - Coal plant which costs P1M, last 10 years and cost annually P100k to operate. - Fuel-oil plant which costs P800k will last 7 years and cost annually P70k to operate.

Problem Solving. Solve the following problems completely. 4. Atty. Gacayan invested P280, 000 which will be used in a project that will produce auniform annual revenue of P180,000 for 5 years and then have a salvage value of 16% ofthe investment. Out-of-pocket costs for operation and maintenance will be P80,000 peryear. Taxes and insurance will be 3% of the first cost per year. Atty Gacayan expectscapital to earn not less than 30% before income taxes. Determine if the investment is goodand Calculate the following:a. Calculate using Rate of Return Method.b. Payback period of the investment.
A firm is considering the “make vs. buy” question for a subcomponent. If the part is made in-house, the production data would be: first cost = $350, 000; annual costs for operation = $45, 000; salvage value = $15, 000; project life = 5 years; interest = 10%; and material cost per unit = $8.50. If annual production is 10,000 units, the maximum amount that the firm should be willing to pay to an outside vendor for the subcomponent is nearest? (a) $10 per unit (b) $16 per unit (c) $22 per unit (d) $28 per unit?
