Leonard, a company that manufactures explosion-proof motors, is considering two alternatives for expanding its international export capacity. Option 1 requires equipment purchases of $875,000 now and $575,000 two years from now, with annual M&O costs of $82,000 in years 1 through 10. Option 2 involves subcontracting some of the production at costs of $270,000 per year beginning now through the end of year 10. Neither option will have a significant salvage value. Use a present worth analysis to determine which option is more attractive at the company's MARR of 12% per year.

To improve package tracking at a UPS transfer facility, conveyor equipment was upgraded with RFID sensors at a cost of $345,000. The operating cost is expected to be $148,000 per year for the first 3 years and $210,000 for the next 3 years. The salvage value of the equipment is expected to be $140,000 for the first 3 years, but due to obsolescence, it won’t have a significant value after that. The interest rate is 10% per year. Determine the ESL and equivalent AW using tabulated factors.
Lego Group in Bellund, Denmark, manufactures Lego toy construction blocks. The company is considering two methods for producing special-purpose Lego parts. Method 1 will have an initial cost of $460,000, an annual operating cost of $100,000, and a life of 3 years. Method 2 will have an initial cost of $560,000, an operating cost of $90,000 per year, and a 6-year life. Assume 11% salvage values for both methods. Lego uses an MARR of 9% per year.

(a) How long would it take to recover an investment of $245,000 in enhanced CNC controls that include axis control to eight axes on the milling model, if the associated income is $92,000 per year, expense is $38,000 per year, and the salvage value is estimated to be 15% of the first cost? Use a MARR of 15% per year. (b) Also, write the spreadsheet function that determines np.
ABC Beverage, LLC, purchases its 355-ml cans in large bulk from Wald-China Can Corporation. The finish on the anodized aluminum surface is produced by mechanical finishing technologies called brushing or bead blasting. Engineers at Wald are switching to more efficient, faster, and cheaper machines to supply ABC. Use the estimates and MARR = 8% per year to select between the two alternatives.

A manufacturing process at Simplicity XP has a fixed cost of $40,000 per month. A total of 100 units can be produced in 1 day at a cost of $3000 for materials and labor for the day. If the company’s MARR is 12% per year, compounded monthly, how many units must be sold each month at $50 per unit for the company to just break even?
An engineer is trying to decide which process to use to reduce sludge volume prior to disposal. Belt filter presses (BFP) will cost $203,000 to buy and $85,000 per year to operate. Belts will be replaced one time per year at a cost of $5500. Centrifuges (Cent) will cost $396,000 to buy and $119,000 per year to operate, but because the centrifuge will produce a thicker “cake”, the sludge hauling cost to the monofill will be $37,000 per year less than for the belt presses. The useful lives are 5 and 10 years for alternatives BFP and Cent, respectively, and the salvage values are assumed to be 10% of the first cost of each process whenever they are closed down or replaced. Use PW evaluation to select the more economical process at an interest rate of 6% per year over (a) the LCM of lives, and (b) a study period of 8 years. Are the decisions the same?
The packing cooling tower that cools condensing water for a power plant progressively detcriorates and results in gradually rising costs due to reduced plant efficiency. These costs are treated as lump sums at the end of the year, as showm in Fig 3:6-The cost is zero for the first year and then increases $1000 per year until the packing is 16 years old, when replacement is mandatory. At a point 8 years into the life of the packing (just aſter the $7000. annual cost has been assessed), a decision is to be made on the plan for the next 8 years i.e., whether to replace the packing or to continue with the existing packing. Money can be borrowed at 9 percent interest, compounded annually. What is the maxinmum amount that could be paid for the packing in order to justify its replacement ?
Biomet Implants is planning new online patient diagnostics for surgeons while they operate. The new system will cost $300,000 to install in an operating room, $5000 annually for maintenance, and have an expected life of 4 years. The revenue per system is estimated to be $80,000 in year 1 and to increase by $10,000 per year through year 4. Determine if the project is economically justified using PW analysis and an MARR of 10% per year.
For the two alternatives, demonstrate that the sum of the incremental cash flow series (Z − X) over the LCM is equal to the difference in the sums of the individual cash flow series for X and Z.

Two methods can be used for producing expansion anchors. Method A costs $80,000 initially and will have a $15,000 salvage value after 3 years. The operating cost with this method will be $30,000 per year. Method B will have a first cost of $120,000, an operating cost of $8000 per year, and a $40,000 salvage value after its 3-year life. At the MARR of 12% per year, which method should be used on the basis of a present worth analysis?
An oil refinery finds that it is necessary to treat the waste liquids from a new process before discharging them into a stream. In-house treatment will have an annual cost of $50,000 the first year, but process improvements will allow the annual cost to decline by $5,000 each subsequent year. As an alternative, an outside company will process the wastes for an initial cost of $32,400 and an annual fixed price of $30,400/year throughout the 13 year period. Either way, there is no need to treat the wastes after 13 years. Using the AW method, calculate the equivalent uniform annual cost (EUAC) of each alternative and determine how the waste should be processed. The company's MARR is 8%. LOADING...
