The Highridge Water District needs an additional supply of water from Steep Creek. The engineer has selected two plans for comparison: Gravity plan: Divert water at a point 10 miles up Steep Creek and carry it through a pipeline by gravity. Pumping plan: Divert water at a point near the district and pump it through 2 miles of pipeline. The pumping plant can be built in two stages: half now and half 10 years later Annual benefits are $190,00 for both plans. Use a 35-year analysis period and 6% interest. Salvage values can be ignored. Use the conventional benefit–cost ratio method to select the more economical plan.
Quantum Logistics, Inc., a wholesale distributor, is considering the construction of a new warehouse to serve the southeastern geographic region near the Alabama–Georgia border. There are three cities being considered. After site visits and a budget analysis, the expected income and costs associated with locating in each of the cities have been determined. The life of the warehouse is expected to be 12 years and MARR is 15%/year.

Dilute hydrogen peroxide (H,0,) is produced in the facility where you work as an engineer. The company aims to invest in an additional concentration unit for the production of concentrated hydrogen peroxide (H,0,) in line with customer demands. For the establishment of the required unit, the finance company recommends the following financing model for 3 years: 100,000 TL will be paid every month in the first year, 150,000 TL will be paid every month in the second year and 175,000 TL will be paid every month in the third year. In addition, an additional balloon payment of 700.000 TL will be made in the 36th month. The monthly interest rate is 2.5%. a) If this proposed financing model was not chosen and all installments were paid equally, what would be the monthly equal installment amount? b) What would be the amount to be paid if no payment was made for this additional concentration facility for 3 years and it was made at the end of the 3rd year? раayment Find what is required by…

Suppose that a manufacturer plans to produce 78,000 units of product duringa year. A lot of size L, to be determined, is to be made periodically, andevery time a lot is made, it is necessary to set up the appropriate machineryand other production facilities before production starts. The set up cost is thena fixed cost incurred for each lot produced and it is determined as $ 200. Whenproduction commences , the cost of making a unit is constant at $ 7.5 per unit.Inventory cost is to be determined on the basis that it costs $ 0.50 per year tocarry one unit in inventory. Also find how many lots the manufacturerwould make per year and each lot would be produced in how manydays ?.
Aria Acoustics, Incorporated (AAI), projects unit sales for a new 7-octave voice emulation implant as follows: Year Unit Sales 1 74,400 2 79,800 3 85,400 4 82,700 5 69,500 Production of the implants will require $1,480,000 in net working capital to start and additional net working capital investments each year equal to 15 percent of the projected sales increase for the following year. Total fixed costs are $3,800,000 per year, variable production costs are $143 per unit, and the units are priced at $325 each. The equipment needed to begin production has an installed cost of $18,500,000. Because the implants are intended for professional singers, this equipment is considered industrial machinery and thus qualifies as 7-year MACRS property. In five years, this equipment can be sold for about 20 percent of its acquisition cost. The tax rate is 23 percent and the required return is 17 percent. (MACRS schedule) a.

Acme Semiconductor is expanding its facility and needs to add equipment. There are three process tools under consideration. You have been asked to perform an economic analysis to select the most appropriate tool to acquire. You have gathered the following information for evaluation. Each of these tools has a useful life of seven years. Acme’s accounting staff has established a company-wide MARR of 8% per year.Which one of the process tools should be selected?
An oil well is currently producing 30 bbl/day under natural flow (active water drive). The analysis of inflow performance curve reveals that installing an electrical submersible pump at a cost of $50,000 will increase the production to 35 bbl/day. It is expected that, under natural flow the production will continue at the same rate over a period of 15 years. If we use an electrical submersible pump, the production will continue only for eight years and the salvage value is $5,000. If we assume that the net revenue under natural flow conditions is $20/bbl and the net revenue with electrical submersible pumps is $15/bbl, which option is preferable? Assume the MROR to be 12%.
