Engineering Economics 0005Please show step by step solution A machine part to be machined may be made eitherfrom an alloy of aluminum or steel. There is anorder for 8000 units. Steel costs P3.80 per kg. whilealuminum costs P8.70 per kg. If steel is used, thesteel per unit weighs 110grams, for aluminum, 30grams. When steel is used, 50 units can beproduced per hour, for aluminum, 80 units per hourwith aid of tool costing P640, which will be uselessafter the 8,000 units are finished. The cost of themachine and the operator is P10.80 per hour. Howmuch is the cost per unit if steel is used?

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?
The Cornballer, invented by George Bluth in the mid-1970s, is a device used to make cornballs. Itsold for $29.95. Suppose that 10,000 Cornballers were sold in 1981; 11,000 in 1982; and salesincreasing by 10% each year until it was last sold in 1990 (when it was made illegal). Assume aninterest rate of 12% per year. Assume sales were made at EOY. What was the worth of these cashflows in 1980? Show in standard factor notation and show the cash flow diagrams.
Chambers Company has just gathered estimates forconducting a break-even analysis for a new product.Variable costs are $7 a unit. The additional plant willcost $48,000. The new product will be charged $18,000a year for its share of general overhead. Advertisingexpenditures will be $80,000, and $55,000 will be spenton distribution. If the product sells for $12, what is thebreak even point in units? What is the break even pointin dollar sales volume?
Prob.#1 At the Motorola plant in Mesa, AZ, it is desired to determine whether one-inch-thick insulation or two-inch-thick insulation should be used to reduce heat loss from a long section of steam pipe. The heat loss from the pipe without any insulation would cost $2.00 per linear foot per year. The one- inch-thick insulation option will eliminate 88% of the heat loss and will cost $0.60 per foot. Two-inch insulation will eliminate 95% of the heat loss and will cost $1.10 per foot. The steam pipe is 1,000 feet in length and will last 10 years. MARR is 6% per year. Which insulation thickness should be recommended? Apply Equivalent Uniform Annual Worth technique. please show all work for each type.
In the design of a jet engine part, the designer has a choice ofspecifying either an aluminium alloy casting or a steel casting. Either materialwill provide equal service, but the aluminium casting will weigh 1.2 kg ascompared with 1.35 kg for the steel casting.The aluminium can be cast for $. 80.00 per kg. and the steel one for$ 35.00 per kg. The cost of machining per unit is $. 150.00 for aluminiumand $. 170.00 for steel. Every kilogram of excess weight is associated witha penalty of $. 1,300 due to increased fuel consumption. Cost of using aluminium metal for the jet engine part?

The surface are of a certain plant that requires painting is 8,000 sq. ft. Two kinds of paint are available whose brands are A and B. Paint A costs P1.40 per sq. ft. but needs renewal at the end of every 4 years, while paint B costs P1.80 per sq. ft. If money is worth 12% effective, how often should paint B be renewed so that it will be as economical as Paint A?

The National Bank of Union City currently has one outsidedrive-up teller. It takes the teller an average of three minutes (exponentially distributed) to serve a bank customer.Customers arrive at the drive-up window at the rate of12 per hour (Poisson distributed). The bank operations officer is currently analyzing the possibility of adding a second drive-up window at an annual cost of $20,000. It isassumed that arriving cars would be equally divided between both windows. The operations officer estimates thateach minute’s reduction in customer waiting time wouldincrease the bank’s revenue by $2000 annually. Should thesecond drive-up window be installed? What other factorsshould be considered in the decision besides cost?
