A firm is considering the “make vs. buy” question for a subcomponent. If the part is made in-house, the production data would be: first cost = $350, 000; annual costs for operation = $45, 000; salvage value = $15, 000; project life = 5 years; interest = 10%; and material cost per unit = $8.50. If annual production is 10,000 units, the maximum amount that the firm should be willing to pay to an outside vendor for the subcomponent is nearest? (a) $10 per unit (b) $16 per unit (c) $22 per unit (d) $28 per unit?

An engineering firm has identified five ways to cut costs in its main office. Only one of the options can be implemented, however, since each involves significant training time for staff engineers. Data are provided in the table. Each option has a lifetime of seven years, and the firm sets a MARR at 15%.

A vertical oil well has been drilled and completed. The productive zone is between the depths of 2,800 and 2,900 feet, you can assume there is oil in the entire thickness (gross = net). The average porosity is 10%, average water saturation is 20% and the oil formation volume factor is 1.3 RB/Stb. Other reservoirs with similar properties have drainage areas of 40 acres and the recovery factor 10.47305% (it is known with extreme precision!) a) Compute STOIIP and ultimate recovery, using the formals presented in lecture b) This well will also have a gas oil ratio (GOR) of 800 scf/bbl, how much gas is expected to be produced from this well?
