As supervisor of a facilities engineering department, you consider mobile cranes to be critical equipment. The purchase of a new, medium-sized truck-mounted crane is being evaluated. The economic estimates for the two best alternatives are shown in the following table. MARR is at 15% per year. You can use the assumption of repeatability in this case.
Show that the same selection is made for the following methods:a. RORAI method

A small company has P20,000 in surplus capital that it wishes to invest in new revenue producing projects. Three independent sets of mutually exclusive projects have been developed. The useful life of each is five years and all market values are zero. You have been asked to perform an IRR analysis to select the best combination of projects. If the MARR is 12% per year, which combination of projects would you recommend?

- An estimated 6 billion gallons of clean drinking water disappear each day across the United States due to aging, leaky pipes, and water mains before it gets to the consumer or industrial user. The American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) has teamed with municipalities, counties, and several excavation companies to develop robots that can travel through mains, detect leaks, and repair many of them immediately. Four proposals have been received for funding. There is a $100 million ($100 M) limit on capital funding and the MARR is established at 12% per year. (a) Use the IROR to rank and determine which of the four independent projects should be funded. (Solve by hand or spreadsheet as instructed.)
