- 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.

- A project is being considered that has a first cost of $12,500, creates $5000 in annual cost savings, requires $3000 in annual operating costs, and has a salvage value of $2000 after a project life of 3 years. If interest is 10% per year, which formula calculates the project’s present worth? (a) PW = 12,500(P/F, 10%, 1) + (− 5000 + 3000) (P/A, 10%, 3) − 2000(F/P, 10%, 3) (b) PW = − 12,500 + (5000 − 3000) (P/A, 10%, 3 ) − 2000(P/F, 10%, 3) (c) PW = 12,500(F/P, 10%, 3) + (5000 − 3000) (F/A, 10%, 3) + 2000 (d) PW = − 12, 500 + 5000(P/A, 10%, 3) − 3000 (P/A, 10%, 3) + 2000(P/F, 10%, 3)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?

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)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 municipal power plant uses natural gas from an existing pipeline at an annual cost of $40,000 per year. A new pipeline would initially cost $100,000, but it would reduce the annual cost to $10,000 per year. (a) Assume an analysis period of 25 years and no salvage value for either pipeline. The interest rate is 6%. Using the equivalent uniform annual cost (EUAC), should the new pipeline be built? (b) The power plant uses natural gas. What are some of the noneconomic benefits to the municipality of this energy source over others? Develop three primary advantages and disadvantages.
