A Veterans Administration (VA) hospital isto decide which type of boiler fuel system will mostefficiently provide the required steam energy outputfor heating, laundry, and sterilization purposes. Thecurrent boilers were installed in the early 1950s andare now obsolete. Much of the auxiliary equipmentis also old and in need of repair. Because of thesegeneral conditions, an engineering recommendationwas made to replace the entire plant with a new boilerplant building that would house modern equipment.The cost of demolishing the old boiler plant wouldbe almost a complete loss, as the salvage value of thescrap steel and used brick was estimated to be onlyabout $1,000. The VA hospital’s engineer finallyselected two alternative proposals as being worthyof more intensive analysis. The hospital’s annualenergy requirement, measured in terms of steam output, is approximately 145,000,000 pounds of steam.As a rule of thumb for analysis, 1 pound of steam isapproximately 1,000 Btu, and 1 cubic foot…
E2 A steel bridge on Louisiana state highway near the Gulf of Mexico is costing $450.000 yearlyin maintenance large chipping, priming, and painting. It originaly cost $1.600.000 when it wasbuilt 15 years ago. The Louisiana bridge engineers estimate that its remaining life is 10 years,then it will need to be replaced because of increased traffic. Its salvage value at any point intime is zero, because the cost of demolition will most like equal its value as scrap steel.A concrete bridge is considered to be the best challenger. It will cost $3.000.000 to build and$100.000 annually in maintenance costs. Its estimated life is 50 years. Its resale value may becounted as zero at any time during its life.No taxes of any kind will be considered for this government project. All costs are in constantdollars of year 0. Inflation may be ignored. Assume that annual benefits for either structure areexactly the same. A discount rate of 10 percent is to be used in analysis.(a) What is the economic life…

A new car costs $5,500. Its value depreciates by 20% per year. The car's maintenance costs are $340 after the first year increasing by 30% per year. Calculate the EAC over the first 7 years of the car life, using a 12% interest rate. What is the economic life of the car?
3. The Ajax Corporation has an overhead crane thathas an estimated remaining life of 10 years. The cranecan be sold now for $8,000. If the crane is kept in service,it must be overhauled immediately at a cost of $5,000.Operating and maintenance costs will be $3,000 peryear after the crane is overhauled. The overhauled cranewill have zero MV at the end of the 8-year study period.A new crane will cost $20,000, will last for 8 years,and will have a $4,000 MV at that time. Operating andmaintenance costs are $1,000 per year for the new crane.The company uses a before-tax interest rate of 10% peryear in evaluating investment alternatives. Should thecompany replace the old crane?

5 Mr. H Salt purchased an 1/8 interest in a producing oil well for $45,000. Recoverable oil reserves for the well were estimated at that time at 15,000 barrels, 1/8 of which represented Mr. Salt's share of the reserves. During the subsequent year, Mr. Salt received $12000 as his 1/8 share of the gross income from the sale of 1000 barrels of oil. From this amount, he had to pay $3000 as his share of the expense of producing the oil. Compute Mr. Salt's depletion allowance for the year.
A firm is considering purchasing equipment to manufacture a new product. The equipment will cost $3M, and expected net cash inflowsare $0.35M indefinitely. If market demand for theproduct is low, then over the next five years thefirm will have the option of discarding the equipment on a secondary market for $2.2M. Assume thatMARR = 12%, s = 50%, and r = 6%. What isthe value of this investment opportunity for the firm?
Example: Consider a machine that costs 20000 TL and has a useful life of 5 years. Let the scrap value be 4000 TL at the end of 5 years. Let the annual operating and maintenance cost be 500 TL. The business expects to earn 5000 TL/year thanks to this machine. If l=10%, buy this machine?
