A small heat pump now costs $2,500 to purchase and install. It has a projected useful life of 15 years and will incur annual maintenance costs of $100 per year in real (year-zero) dollars over the useful life. These costs are projected to increase at 5% per year, which is the expected general inflation rate. The annual cost of electricity for the heat pump is $720 in year-zero dollars. Electricity prices are projected to increase at an annual rate of 9%. The firm's MARR, which includes an allowance for general price inflation, is 18% per year (im). No market value is expected from the heat pump at the end of the 15 years of service life. Click the icon to view the interest and annuity table for discrete compounding when i= 18% per year. ... a. What is the PW of owning and operating the heat pump? The PW is $8702|. (Round to the nearest dollar.) b. (i) What is the AW, expressed in actual dollars, of owning and operating the heat pump? The AW is $ 1709|. (Round to the nearest dollar.) Gi) What is the AW in roal dollars of owning and onorating the boat pump?

The annual fuel costs to operate a small solid-waste treatment plant are projected to be $1.8 million, without consideration for any future inflation. The best estimates indicate that the annual inflation-free interest rate (i') will be 7% and the general inflation rate f= 4%. If the plant has a remaining useful life of five years, what is the present equivalent value of its fuel costs, using actual-dollar analysis?
Gillespie Gold Products, Inc., is considering the purchase of new smelting equipment. The new equipment is expected to increase production and decrease costs, with a resulting increase in profits.

To reduce cooling electricity consumption in an industrial plant, it is proposed to install an absorption refrigeration system running on solar energy. The absorption system costs $300,000 and the operating and maintenance expenses are $8000 per year. It is estimated that this absorption system will save $27,500 per year from the electricity they save. The lifetime of the system is expected to be 20 years with an average annual inflation-adjusted interest rate of 4 percent. The system will have no salvage value after 20 years of its lifetime. Would you support this project from an economic point of view? How would you evaluate this project if the inflation-adjusted interest rate is 2 percent?
