The student chapter of Philippine Society of Mechanical Engineers is planning a 6-day trip to the National conference in North of Luzon. For transportation the group will rent a car from either the Motor Pool Corporation or a local car dealer. The Motor Pool charges Php 20.80 per km, has no daily fee, and the motor pool pays for the gas. The car dealer charges Php 1,500 per day and Php 11.2 per km, but the group must pay for the gas. The car’s fuel rating is 40 km per gallon, and the price of the gas is estimated to be Php 96 per gallon. A. If the students anticipate driving 1,200 km total, from whom should they rent a car? b.At what point, in km , is the cost of both options equal? c.The car dealer has offered a special student discount and will give the students 50 free km per day, from whom should they rent a car. What is the new breakeven point?

A model for non-work related trips has been developed by the Texas Department of Transportation for Wheeler, Texas. The model is based on the number of trips per household: Number of peak-hour vehicle-based social trips per household = 0.04+0.018*(household size) + 0.009*(annual household income in thousands of dollars) + 0.16*(number of nonworking household members) For the northeast section of Wheeler, the average household has six members and an annual income of $50,000. If each household has one working member, how many peak-hour social trips are predicted?

A bridge has been constructed between the mainland and an island. The total cost (excludingtolls) to travel across the bridge is expressed as C = 50 + 0.5V, where V is the number ofveh/hr and C is the cost/veh in pesos. The demand for travel across the bridge is V = 2500 −10C.a. Determine the volume of traffic across the bridge.b. If a toll of 25 pesos is added, what is the volume across the bridge?c. A tollbooth is to be added, thus reducing the travel time to cross the bridge. The new costfunction is C = 50 + 0.2V. Determine the volume of traffic that would cross the bridge.

Dunkin City wants to build a new bypass between two major roads that will cut travel time for commuters. The road will cost $14,000,000 and save 17,500 people $100/yr in gas. The road will need to be resurfaced every year at a cost of $7,500. The road is expected to be used for 20 years. Determine if Dunkin City should build the road using B/C analysis. The cost of money is 8%.
