Two proposals remain for consideration that have been put forward for a hydroelectric system. Moreover, the water system of alternative 1 will cost $30 (unit $0,000) and need to be replace every 10 year indefinitely (starting end of year 10), and the water system of alternative 2 will cost $40 (unit $0,000) and will need to be replace every 15 year indefinitely (starting end of year 15). Estimate annual cost for each system which alternatives should be invested if the corporate MARR is currently 10% per year.

- A window frame manufacturer is searching for ways to improve revenue from its triple-insulated sliding windows, sold primarily in the far northern areas of the United States. Alternative A is an in- crease in TV and radio marketing. A total of $300,000 spent now is expected to increase revenue by $60,000 per year. Alternative B requires the same investment for enhancements to the in-plant manufacturing process that wil improve the temperature retention properties of the seals around each glass pane. New revenues start slowly for this alternative at an estimated $10,000 the first year, with growth of $15,000 per year as the improved product gains reputation among builders. The MARR is 8% per year and the maximum projection period is 10 years for either alternative.arrow_forwardDetermine the capitalized cost of a permanent roadside historical marker that has a first cost of $72,500 and a maintenance cost of $2,400 once every 6 years.
