- When faced with different alternatives, there are many criteria that can be used to identify the best one. What is the tangible criterion that is usually used in an engineering economic analysis?arrow_forwardThe Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) is considering two designs for crash barriers along a reconstructed portion of I-10. Design 2B will cost $3 million to install and $142,500 per year to maintain. Design 4R will cost $3.7 million to install and $55,000 per year to maintain. Determine which design should be selected based on a rate of return analysis if TxDOT uses a MARR of 6% per year and a 20-year project period. The rate of return is __ % Design __ is selected.arrow_forwardThe 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.

- The sheriff of Los Lunas county along the Arizona- Mexico border asked the county to build a new minimum security detention facility for personscaught while attempting to enter the United States illegally. The construction cost will be $22 million, with annual operating costs of $2.1 million. The new facility will create jobs that produce benefits for many local businesses including realtors, restaurants, etc. The benefits are estimated to be $5 million in years 1 and 2, $2.8 million in year 3, and $1.12 million per year beginning in year 4 and continuing through the 30-year life of the facility. At a discount rate of 8% per year, does the conventional B/C ratio indicate that the project is economically justified?arrow_forwardSome of the formal evaluation techniques used by engineers is Economic analysis.

- Two methods can be used for producing solar panels for electric power generation. Method 1 will have an initial cost of $550,000, an AOC of $160,000 per year, and $125,000 salvage value after its 3-year life. Method 2 will cost $830,000 with an AOC of $120,000, and a $240,000 salvage value after its 5-year life. Assume your boss asked you to determine which method is better, but she wants the analysis done over a 3-year planning period. You estimate the salvage value of method 2 will be 35% higher after 3 years than it is after 5 years.
