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.
A European consortium has spent a considerable amount of time andmoney developing a new supersonic aircraft. The aircraft gets high markson all performance measures except noise. In fact, because of the noise,the consortium’s management is concerned that the U.S. government mayimpose restrictions on some of the American airports where the aircraftcan land. Management judges a 50–50 chance that there will be somerestrictions. Without restrictions, management estimates its (presentdiscounted) profit at $125 million; with restrictions, its profit would beonly $25 million. Management must decide now, before knowing thegovernment’s decision, whether to redesign parts of the aircraft to solvethe noise problem. The cost of the redesign program is $25 million. Thereis a .6 chance that the redesign program will solve the noise problem (inwhich case, full landing rights are a certainty) and a .4 chance it will fail. Using a decision tree, determine the consortium’s best course ofaction, assuming…

During your first month as an employee at Engro. Industries (a large drill-bit manufacturer),you are asked to evaluate alternatives for producing a newly designed drill bit on a turningmachine. Your boss’ memorandum to you has practically no information about what thealternatives are and what criteria should be used. The same task was posed to a previousemployee who could not finish the analysis, but she has given you the following information:An old turning machine valued at $350,000 exists (in the warehouse) that can be modified forthe new drill bit. The in-house technicians have given an estimate of $40,000 to modify thismachine, and they assure you that they will have the machine ready before the projected startdate (although they have never done any modifications of this type). It is hoped that the oldturning machine will be able to meet production requirements at full capacity. An outsidecompany, Descon Engg. Inc., made the machine seven years ago and can easily do the…
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?

2.4.1 Total Cost in Material SelectionIn many cases, economic selection among materials cannot be based solely on the costs ofmaterials. Frequently, a change in materials will affect the design and processing costs, and shipping costsmay also be altered.Care should be taken in making economic selections between materials to ensure that anydifferences in shipping costs, yields, or resulting scrap are taken into account. Commonly, alternativematerials do not come in the same stock sizes, such as sheet sizes and bar lengths. This may considerablyaffect the yield obtained from a given weight of material. Similarly, the resulting scrap may differ forvarious materials.In addition to deciding what material a product should be made of, there are often alternativemethods or machines that can be used to produce the product, which, in turn, can impact processingcosts. What could be the factors affecting the cost of materials that one should consider?
