Two electric motors (A and B) are being considered to drive a centrifugal pump. Each motor is capable of delivering
60
horsepower (output) to the pumping operation. It is expected that the motors will be in use
1,200
hours per year. If electricity costs
$0.09
per kilowatt-hour and 1 hp =
0.746
kW, which motor should be selected if MARR =
7%
per year? Refer to the data below.
A large automobile manufacturer has developed a continuous variable transmission (CVT) that provides smooth shifting and enhances fuel efficiency by 2 mpg of gasoline. The extra cost of a CVT is $800 on the sticker price of a new car. For a particular model averaging 28 miles per gallon with the CVT, what is the cost of gasoline (dollars per gallon) that makes this option affordable when the buyer’s interest rate is 10% per year? The car will be driven 100,000 miles uniformly over an eight-year period.
A large lithium-ion phosphate battery pack for an industrial application is expected to save $20,000 in annual energy expenses over its six-year life. For a three-year simple payback period, the permissible capital investment is $60,000. What is the internal rate of return on this $60,000 battery pack if it has a residual value of $10,000 at the end of six years? The MARR is 18% per year.

- The Department of Energy is proposing new rules mandating either a 20% increase or a 35% increase in clothes washer efficiency in 3 years. The 20% increase is expected to add $100 to the current price of a washer, while the 35% increase will add $240 to the price. If the cost for energy is $80 per year with the 20% increase in efficiency and $65 per year with the 35% increase, which one of the two proposed standards is more economical on the basis of a future worth analysis at an interest rate of 10% per year? Assume a 15-year life for all washer models.arrow_forwardA piece of new equipment has been proposed by engineers to increase theproductivity of a certain manual welding operation.

- Parker County Community College (PCCC) is trying to determine whether to use no insulation or to use insulation that is either 1 inch thick or 2 inches thick on its steam pipes. The heat loss from the pipes without insulation is expected to cost $1.50 per year per foot of pipe. A 1-inch thick insulated covering will eliminate 89% of the loss and will cost $0.40 per foot. A 2-inch thick insulated covering will eliminate 92% of the loss and will cost $0.85 per foot. PCCC Physical Plant Services estimates that there are 250,000 feet of steam pipe on campus. The PCCC Accounting Office requires a 10%/year return to justify capital expenditures. The insulation has a life expectancy of 10 years. Determine which insulation (if any) should be purchased using annual worth analysis.arrow_forwardA 2,000 square foot house New Jersey costs $1, 714 each winter to heat with its existing oil burning furnace For an investment of $5000, a natural gas furnace can be installed, and the winter heating bill is estimated to be $1,000.
