Methods of Economy Studies An investment of P 250,000 can be made in a project that will produce a uniform annual revenue of P 192,800 for 5 years and then have a salvage value of 10% of the first cost. Operation and maintenance will be P 72,000 per year. Taxes and insurance will be 4% of the first cost per year. The company expects capital to earn 20% before income taxes. Show whether or not the investment is justified economically using1. Present Worth (PW) method2. Future Worth (FW) method3. Annual Worth (AW) method4. Rate of Return (ROR) method5.

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…
An investor is considering two mutually exclusive projects. She can obtain a 6% before tax rate of return on external investements but she requires a minimum attractive rate of return or 7% for these projects. Use a 10 year analysis period to compute the incremental rate of return from investing in Project A rather than Project B. Project A Project B initial $58500 $48500 net uniform annual income 6648 0 salvage value 10 yrs hence 30000 138000 computed rate of return 8% 11%
