Municipal Engineer wants to evaluate three alternatives for supplementing the water supply. 1st alternative – continue deep well pumping at an annual cost of $10,500 2nd alternative – install a 10” pipeline from a surface reservoir. First cost is $25,000 and annual pumping cost is $7,000 3rd alternative – install a 20” pipeline from the reservoir. First cost of $34,000 and annual pumping cost of $5,000. Life of all alternatives is 20 years. For the second and third alternatives, salvage value is 10% of first cost. With interest at 8%, which alternative should the engineer recommend? Use present worth analysis PW (deepwell) = ? PW (10”pipeline) = ? PW (20”pipeline) = ?

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.
Alternative 3 is incorrect EUAC=( Equivalent Annaul COst of Initial Investment)+ (Expected Moderate annaual flood damage cost )+ (expected severe annaual flood cost )
If the MARR=10%, compute the value of X that makes the alternatives equally desirable. Do not use spreadsheets. Alternatives Machine A Machine B First cost $12,000 $20,000 Annual Operating cost $1,400/year X Salvage value $2,000 $3,000 Life 4 years 8 years
Motor A and B is providing 150hp and it is being used for 10 hours per day, 250 days in a year if the motor is using the electricity. Additional cost for both motors is the annual maintenance cost worth 1200 and other manufacturing overhead costing 550 per month. Motor A has an original price of 50,000 while 45000 for Motor B, and both have the salvage value of 3000 after 5 years. Machine efficiency is 92% and 90% respectively.A. How much is the electrical cost if the money is worth 15%? Electrical cost = pesos ( 2 decimal places ) B. With the same initial cost, salvage value, expected life, number of working days per year, annual maintenance cost and manufacturing overhead. How much is the fuel cost if the interest rate is 10% compounded annually if motor A needs to be refilled by 2L/ output while motor B requires a 3L/output, and the target output per day is 10 outputs?
A new water treatment plant proposed for Anytown, has an initial cost of P56 million. The new plant will service the 7,500 residential customers for the next 30 years. It is expected to save each customer P125 per year. The plant will require a major overhaul every 5 years, costing P1 million. Determine the benefit/cost ratio at the city’s interest rate of 6%.
