A new project is being planned for a study period of 8 years. It will require P250,000 for the start-up and after theend of the first year, P13,500 shall be paid for its innovation. The board then requires to add another modifiedtechnology which will cost P25,000 by the end of the second year. After the end of third year, the project will startto earn P57,500 annually. Calculate the annual effective interest rate using ERR method if the interest rate externalto this project (ε) is 13.75%. Please solve using economics formula.
Kaneb is evaluating two alternative pipeline welders. Welder A costs $310,000, has a 7-year life, and is expected to generate net cash inflows of $78,000 in each of the 7 years. Welder B costs $320,000, has a 5-year life, and is expected to generate annual net cash inflows of $68,900 in each of the 5 years. Kaneb's cost of capital is 16%. Using the equivalent annual annuity method, which alternative should be chosen and what is its NPV?
Engineering Economics You bought a new car which you intend to use as a public utility vehicle for P950,000. The expected life of the car is ten (10) years for its intended use. Your driver and you agreed that for the first five (5) years , your “boundary” is P1,500.00 per day and P1,000.00 per day for the rest of its economic life. You also expected a repair and maintenance costs of P30,000 every six (6) months from year one (1) to five (5) and P50,000 from year six (6) to ten (10). At the end of 10 years you can sell the car for P100,000. If your MARR on invested capital is 15% every (6) months, determine whether this is a good investment. Use the Annual Worth method in your solution. Indicate all other assumptions you use in your analysis. Manually solve and don't use excel as a solution.

Two alternatives are considered for a project that lasts for 3 years. Alternative A has an initial cost of $25000.00 and results in savings of $9000.00 every year starting at the end of 1st year. Alternative 2 has an initial cost of $32072.50 and results in $11,500.00 savings per year, starting the end of the 1st year. If this is considered an investment for the firm, what should be the minimum attractive rate of return (MARR) for the firm for choosing Alternative B?
Dexcon Technologies, Inc. is evaluating two alternatives to produce its new plastic filament with tribological (i.e., low friction) properties for creating custom bearings for 3-D printers. The estimates associated with each alternative are shown below. Using a MARR of 20% per year, which alternative has the lower present worth? Method DDM LS First cost, $ −164,000 −370,000 M&O cost, $/year −55,000 −21,000 Salvage value, $ 0 30,000 Life, years 2 4
Two processes are being considered for the production of a machine part. Process 1 requires an equipment cost of P180 000.00, a yearly operating cost of P90 000.00, and has zero salvage value at the end of its 6-year life. Process 2 has corresponding figures of P320 000.00, P72 000.00, P45 000.00 and 9-year life. If the applied MARR is 20%, compare the two processes using PW analysis. (Ans. PT1 = -P693 567.36; PT2= - P718 084.62)- Please use and actual formula NOT AN EXCEL PLEASE. We are students not office workers.
1. A replacement electric motor is being considered for purchased. It is capable of providing 200 hp. The pertinent data are follows: Cost - 3200 dollars Maintenance Cost per year - 50 dollars Life expectancy - 14years Salvage value - 1,452 dollars The motor is used for 400 h/year and the cost of electricity is 0.0 dollars/kWh. What is most nearly the effective annual cost using an interest rate of 10%
A company is trying to decide whether to keep a fork-truck in their factory or to purchase a new one. The existing fork-truck can be sold now for $28,000 or kept for another 5 years with an overhaul now costing $8,250. If the MARR is 10% should the company buy a new AVG now or keep the existing vehicle? Existing Fork-truck New Fork-truck Initial price cost, $ -34,250 (5 yrs ago) -38,250 AOC, $ -5,500 -7,800 Salvage value, $ 2,500 5,500 Life, yrs 10 12
A project your firm is considering for implementation has these estimated costs and revenues: an investment cost of $58,548, maintenance costs that start at $5,000 at end-of-year (FOY) one and increase by $1,000 for each of the next four years, and then remain constant for the following five years; savings of $20,007 per year (EOY 1-10); and finally a resale value of $33,311 at 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?
