The net annual operating cost (AOC) for a water treatment filtration plant for a semi-conductor fabrication line was estimated to be $1.5 million per year. The estimate was based on the $200,000 per year cost of a 1-MGD plant. The exponent in the cost-capacity equation is 0.80. (a) What was the size of the larger plant? (b) Build a spreadsheet to answer the same question. (c) If the plant manager has limited the AOC to $1 million per year, use your spreadsheet to determine the maximum MGD size plant that can be planned.
An engineer must decide between two ways to pump concrete to the top of a seven-story building. Plan 1 requires the leasing of equipment for $60,000 initially and will cost between $0.40 and $0.95 per metric ton to operate, with a most likely cost of $0.50 per metric ton. The pumper can pump 100 metric tons per 8-hour day. If leased, the asset will have a contract period of 5 years. Plan 2 is a rental option that will cost $12,000 per year. In addition, an extra $17.5 per hour labor cost will be incurred for operating the rented equipment per 8-hour day. Which plan should the engineer recommend if the equipment will be needed for 55 days per year? The MARR is 11% per year.   The annual worth of plan 1 lease optimistic is $  . The annual worth of plan 1 most likely is $_____  . The annual worth of plan 1 pessimistic is $___________  . The annual worth of plan 2 rental is $_________  .

    An online commercial directory service must decide between composing the ads for its clients inhouse or paying a production company to compose them. To develop the ads in-house, the company will have to purchase computers, printers, and a database management system at an estimated cost of $42,000.
