- An integrated, combined cycle power plant produces 285MW of electricity by gasifying coal. The capital investment for the plant is $570 million, spread evenly over two years. The operating life of the plant is expected to be 20 years. Additionally, the plant will operate at full capacity 75% of the time (downtime is 25% of any given year). a. If this plant will make a profit of three cents per kilowatt-hour of electricity sold to the power grid, what is the simple payback period of the plant? Is it a low-risk venture? Tabulate the net cash flow and the cumulative PW. b. What is the IRR for the plant? Is it profitable?You are considering a luxury apartment building project that requires an investment of $14,500,000. The building has 60 units. You expect the maintenance cost for the apartment building to be $450,000 the first year and $490,000 the second year. The maintenance cost will continue to increase by $40,000 in subsequent years. The cost to hire a manager for the building is estimated to be $100,000 per year. After five years of operation, the apartment building can be sold for $18,000,000. What is the annual rent per apartment unit that will provide a return on investment of 17%? Assume that the building will remain fully occupied during its five years of operation. The annual rent per apartment unit should be $ ______thousand. (Round to one decimal place.).Two 150-horsepower (HP) motors are being considered for installation at amunicipal sewage treatment plant. The first costs $4,500 and has an operating efficiency of 83%. The second costs $3,600 and has an operating efficiency of 80%. Both motors are projected to have zero salvage value after a life of 10 years. All the annual charges, such as insurance and maintenance, amount to a total of 15% of the original cost of each motor. If power cost is a flat 5 cents per kilowatt-hour, which alternative should be chosen at 5,000 operating hours per year? Assume an interest rate of 6%. (A conversion factor you might find useful is IHP = 746watts = .746kilowatts.)
- Annual maintenance costs for a machine are P1,500 this year and are estimated to increase 10% each year every year. What is the present worth of the maintenance cost for six years? a) if i = 8%b) if i = 10%c) if i = 12%8 units of milling machine that costs $ 267228 each are bought today. They can be used for 10 years and can be sold at $ 33454 each at the end of their useful life. Lubrications and minor repairs are estimated to be $ 21139 per unit, annually. Each machine is expected to operate at an average of 2978 hours per year at an average power consumption of 1.9 kW per unit. The effective annual interest rate is 2.5%. Assume that the distribution utility charges $ 9/kWhr. Using captalized cost principle, determine the following: a.) captalized cost of the investment, b.) total present worth of all the costs that occur annually (annually recurring cost) in the whole investment, c.) total present worth of all the costs that occur one-time (non-recurring) in the whole investmentA financial investor has an investment portfolio. A bond in her investment portfolio will mature next month and provide her $25,000 to reinvest. The choices for reinvestment have been narrowed to the following two options:Option 1: Reinvest in a foreign bond that will mature in one year. Thistransaction will entail a brokerage fee of $150. For simplicity, assume thatthe bond will provide interest over the one-year period of $2,450, $2,000, or $1,675 and that the probabilities of these occurrences are assessed to be 0.25, 0.45, and 0.30, respectively.Option 2: Reinvest in a $25,000 certificate with a savings and loan association.Assume that this certificate has an effective annual rate of 7.5%.Which form of reinvestment should the investor choose in order to maximize her expected financial gain?
- You are considering an apartment building project that requires an investment of $15, 000, 000. This building has 30 units and you expect the maintenance cost for the apartment building to be $400, 000 the first year which will continue to increase by $50, 000 every year in sub-sequent years. The cost to hire a manager for the building is estimated to be $100, 000 per year. After 6 years of operation, the apartment building can be sold for $16, 000, 000. If the monthly rent per apartment unit is $5, 000, what would be the rate of return on this investment? Assume that the building will remain fully occupied during its six years of operation. In your analysis, you are expected to: (i) Use Excel to display the cash flow; (ii) Draw a Cash Flow Diagram; (iii) Use Excel to compute the internal rate of return of the CFD. use excelA food processing plant consumed 450,000 kW of electric energy annually and pays an average of P2.00 per kWh. A study is being made to generate its own power to supply the plant the energy required, and that the power plant installed would cost P2,000,000. Annual operation and maintenance, P800,000. Other expenses P100,000 per year. Life of power plant is 15 years; salvage value at the end of life is P200,000; annual taxes and insurances, 4% of first cost; and rate of interest is 14%. What is the rate of return? Is the power plant justifiable?Consider three investment plans at an annual rate of 9.38%. • Investor A: Invest $2000 per year for the first 10 years of your career. At the end of 10 years, make no further investments, but reinvest the amount accumulated at the end of 10 years for the next 31 years. • Investor B: Do nothing for the first 10 years. Then start investing $2000 per year for the next 31 years. • Investor C: Invest $2000 per year for the entire 41 years. Note that all investments are made at the beginning of each year, the first deposit will be .made at the beginning of age 25 (n=0), and you want to calculate the balance at age of 65 (n=41).
- A company is considering constructing a plant to manufacture a proposed new product. The land costs $300,000, the building costs $600,000, the equipment costs $250,000, and $100,000 additional working capital is required. It is expected that the product will result in sales of $750,000 per year for 10 years, at which time the land can be sold for $400,000, the building for $350,000, and the equipment for $50,000. All of theworking capital would be recovered at the EOY 10. Theannual expenses for labor, materials, and all other itemsare estimated to total $475,000. If the company requiresa MARR of 15% per year on projects of comparable risk,determine if it should invest in the new product line.Use the AW method.Plant Design is a major requirement for you to be able to graduate BS ChE in Batangas State University. Suppose you are a panelist, and you must evaluate if the design is feasible or not. You look at the breakdown of expenses, possible revenues, etc. Here are some important chapters and discussions taken from a certain plant design. Chapter 3: Market Study This plant design, entitled “IIVSDROP: The First Ear Dropper Solution Manufacturing Plant in the Philippines” considers a 30-year period of study, starting 2021, after finishing its construction by 2020. All projections, and interest rates set by the company shall be evaluated within this 30-year period. The inflation rate shall not be included in the computation and a minimum attractive rate of return is set at 20%. Chapter 4: Products Our company produces ear dropper solution which can be sold for PHP. 125.00 per bottle. Annually, the company can produce 1000 pallets of the product. Each pallet is stacked with 14 layers and each…You invest in a piece of equipment costing $30,000. The equipment will be used for two years, at the end of which time the salvage value of the machine is expected to be $10,000. The machine will be used for 5,000 hours during the first year and 8,000 hours during the second year. The expected annual net savings in operating costs will be $25,000 during the first year and $40,000 during the second year. If your interest rate is 10%, what would be the equivalent net savings per machine-hour? Solved in Excel is perfered!
