The first cost of a fairly large flood control dam is expected to be $5 million. The maintenance cost will be $60,000 per year, and a $100,000 outlay will be required every 5 years. At interest of 10%, find the EUAC of the dam project.
A new alloy can be produced by Process A, which costs $200,000 to implement. The operating cost will be $10,000 per quarter with a salvage value of $25,000 after its 2-year life. Process B will have a first cost of $250,000, an operating cost of $15,000 per quarter, and a $40,000 salvage value after its 4-year life. The interest rate is 8% per year compounded quarterly. Using present value analysis which process should be selected.
Two alternatives are considered for a project that lasts for 3 years. Alternative A has an initial cost of $25000.00 and results in savings of $9000.00 every year starting at the end of 1st year. Alternative 2 has an initial cost of $32072.50 and results in $11,500.00 savings per year, starting the end of the 1st year. If this is considered an investment for the firm, what should be the minimum attractive rate of return (MARR) for the firm for choosing Alternative B?
