Problem: A diagnostics laboratory is considering one of the following microscopes with digital recording and pattern detection software: Option A Option B Options C Cost Savings Interest $20,000 $1,199 6% $30,000 1. Calculate Present Worth for all Options showing your calculations 2. Calculate IRR for all options showing your calculations 3. Which Option do you recommend and why? $2,199 9% $15,000 $2,000 7% Each machine will have a 20-year life with no salvage value. There is a lot of debate within the company as to whether these devices are really going to last long, but they assume MARR of 10% as reasonable.

2. Airtight Manufacturing produces plastic cases that utility companies buy to protect electronic components on utility poles from weather damage. (a) The protective case currently used by utility companies has a 0.045 probability of cracking or breaking in any given year. When a protective case cracks or breaks, the utility company incurs a $800 expense to replace the case. What is the expected value of the utility company’s repair costs per protective case? Show your work. (b) Airtight has recently developed a stronger material for its protective case. The use of this stronger material reduces the case’s probability of cracking or breaking and serves as a differentiating factor for estimating this product’s VTC. Use the product-needs matrix described in the course to classify this differentiating factor. What type of product characteristic is it? What type of customer need does it satisfy? Justify your answers. (c) If this stronger material enables Airtight’s new protective…
Please show work on Excel. A new engineer is evaluating whether to use a larger diameter pipe for a water line. The pipe will cost $327,089 more initially but will reduce pumping costs. The optimistic, most likely, and pessimistic projections for annual savings are $30,000, $20,000, and $5000, with respective probabilities of 20%, 50%, and 30%. The interest rate is most likely to be 7%, but is equally likely to be 6% or 8%, and the water line should have a life of 40 years. Find the expected annual savings and the expected interest rate. Determine the Expected PW based on these. Hint: Based on the different saving and their probabilities, find the expected value of savings. Then find the expected value of the interest rate (each option has equal probability). Then find the PW using these values.
Find the Present Worth of each of the option Investment: $10 million Annual Revenue: $103 million Breakdown: a) Ticket sales: $68 millionb) VIP Memberships: $13 million Concession revenues: $22 million Annual Costs: $75 million Breakdown: a) Maintenance: $35 millionb) Salaries: $8 millionc) Concession costs: $6 million d) Event Operations: $10 million e) Overhead: $16 million Major Maintenance Update every 20 years: $20 million GIVEN ASSUMPTIONS While any renovation is taking place, the stadium will be closed and there will be no annual revenue or annual costs It is estimated that all Annual Revenues grow at a rate of 1% per year, and all Annual Costs grow at a rate of 0.8% per year The MARR is 5% The stadium will only be used for 50 years after it is done being upgraded, and at that point it will have no salvage value.

Pls help with below homework. A particular apartment building has changed ownership three times in 10 years. and the price has increased each time a minimum of 23%. Price increases for similar apartment buildings have averaged 17% per sale in that time. Is a licensee in Illinois justified in guaranteeing a prospective buyer of this apartment building at least an 8% profit on the resale of the property? Select the correct option from below : A) Yes, because this apartment building has a proven profitability history. B) Yes, because the average price increase for similar apartment buildings is more than twice the target amount. C) No, because the licensee should never guarantee a future profit of any amount. D) No, because past sales figures cannot reliably predict future prices.
The Enrico Oil Company is deciding whether to drill for oil on a tract. The company estimates thatthe project would cost $8 million today. The company estimates that once drilled, the oil willgenerate positive net cash flow of $4 million a year for the next 4 years. The company recognizes,however, that if it waits 2 years, it could cost $9 million, but there is a 90% chance that the nextcash flow will be $4.2 million and there is a 10% chance that the net cash flow will be $2.2 milliona year for 4 years. Assume that all cash flows are discounted at 10%. Required:i. If the company opts to drill today, what is the project’s NPV? ii. Evaluate whether it would be worthwhile to wait 2 years before deciding whether todrill?

Build modelA new engineer is evaluating whether to usea higher-voltage transmission line. It will cost $245,000 more initially, but it will reduce transmission losses. The optimistic, most likely, and pessimistic projections for annual savings are $21,000, $14,000, and $9,000 respectively. The interest rate is 7%, and the transmission line has a life of 30 years. (a) What is the present worth for estimated value of each scenario? (b ) What is the expected (mean) Present Worth?
