- Define the term capitalized cost and give a realworld example of something that might be analyzed using a capitalized cost evaluation technique.meant by the term equal service alternative?The capital investment cost for a switchgrass-fueled ethanol plant with a capacity of 250,000 gallons per year is $6 million. The cost-capacity factor for this particular plant technology is 0.59 for capacities ranging from 200,000 gallons per year to 500,000 gallons per year.

- Which is the most efficient analysis method we can use for determining project acceptability on an economic basis?The U.S. Army received two proposals for a turnkey design/build project for barracks for infantry unit soldiers in training. Proposal A involves an off-the-shelf “bare-bones” design and standard grade construction of walls, windows, doors, and other features. With this option, heating and cooling costs will be greater, maintenance costs will be higher, and replacement will occur earlier than proposal B. The initial cost for A will be $750,000. Heating and cooling costs will average $6000 per month with maintenance costs averaging $2000 per month. Minor remodeling will be required in years 5, 10, and 15 at a cost of $150,000 each time in order to render the units usable for 20 years. They will have no salvage value. Proposal B will include tailored design and construction costs of $1.1 million initially with estimated heating and cooling costs of $3000 per month and maintenance costs of $1000 per month. There will be no salvage value at the end of the 20-year life.

- In 2011, El Paso Water Utilities (EPWU) issued bonds worth $9.125 million to improve the Van Buren dam in central El Paso and to finance three other drainage projects. The bonds were purchased by the Texas Water Development Board under the federal stimulus program wherein EPWU did not have to pay any dividend on the bonds. If the bond dividend rate would have been 4% per year, pay able quarterly, with a bond maturity date 18 years after issuance, what is the present worth of the dividend savings to EPWU rate payers?
