1. The local chief executive (LCE) of Pagadian City is considering to build, operate and transfer (BOT) a Public Transportation System as an income generating enterprise for the city, through private sector initiatives. Two proposals have been submitted. The cash flows are shown below. Perform the appropriate techniques of engineering economics using any appropriate measure of economic worth. As a Civil Engineer, make a recommendation to the LCE, based solely on economic considerations. Assume MARR of 10% per year. Copy your Excel spreadsheet in your Answer Sheet.

A highway is to be built connecting Maud and Bowlegs. Route A follows the old road and costs $4 million initially and $210,000/year thereafter. A new route, B, will cost $6 million initially and $180,000/year thereafter. Route C is an enhanced version of Route B with wider lanes, shoulders, and so on. Route C will cost $9 million at first, plus $260,000 per year to maintain. Benefits to the users, considering time, operation, and safety, are $500,000 per year for A, $850,000 per year for B, and $1,000,000 per year for C. Using a 7% interest rate, a 15-year study period, and a salvage value of 50% of first cost, determine which road should be constructed.
Topic: Gradients General Direction: Solve using Given-Required-Solution format. DO NOT USE EXCEL. Provide a Cash Flow Diagram (CFD). Use the formula given. Three local government units in Metro Manila have agreed to pool their resources from taxes for the construction of a major road connecting their areas. It is estimated that an amount of P500,000 is to be deposited at the end of the year into a shared account for the first phase of theproject which will last 9 years after the initial deposit has been made. The deposit will increase by P100,000 per year after the initial deposit up until the lifetime of the project. Assume 5% annual interest rate. Determine:(a) Total present worth of the deposits(b) Construct the equivalent cash flow diagram

The City of Vancouver has appointed you as an Assistant Project Manager to oversee the aspect of some upcoming projects. The Project Manager is requesting you to conduct a discounted cash flow calculation to determine the NPV of one of the projects which is part of the municipality’s cultural tourism initiatives. The project is expected to generate a net cash flow of $100,000.00, $200,000.00, $300,000.00, $350,000.00 and $450,000,00 in the next five years. The project will cost $1,500,000.00 to implement and the required rate of return is 25 percent. Calculate the Net Present Value of the project to enable the Project Management to communicate the viability or otherwise to the Municipality’s Project Council.
As part of a community initiative, funding is being sought from potential contributors to sustain a public park's maintenance costs. You are considering donating to cover all future expected maintenance expenses for the park. The projected maintenance costs are $48,000 per year for the first five years, $60,000 per year from years 6 to 10, and $72,000 annually thereafter, assuming the park has an indefinite service life. If the funds are placed in an account with a 15% annual interest rate, what should be the size of your donation?
GoG is considering two alternative proposals to improve road safety and reduce traffic congestion in city “A”: (a) constructing a new bypass or (b) upgrading existing roadways. The Bypass Proposal will have an initial cost of GHC60 million and annual maintenance costs of GHC2.25 million. It is expected to yield benefits of GHC9.75 million per year. The Upgrading Proposal has an initial cost of GHC7 million, annual maintenance costs of GHC262,500 and annual social benefits of GHC1.14 million. Each project has a life of 30 years. The Bypass Proposal, which would have donor funding component, involves a discount rate of 8% while the Upgrading Proposal, to be funded wholly by government, has a discount rate of 4%. i.
