Two options are available for painting your house: (1) Oil-based painting, which costs $5,000, and (2) water-based painting, which costs $3,000. The estimated lives are 10 years and 5 years, respectively. For either option, no salvage value will remain at the end of the respective service lives. Assume that you will keep and maintain the house for 10 years. If your personal interest rate is 10% per year, which of the following statements is correct?(a) On an annual basis, Option 1 will cost about $850(b) On an annual basis, Option 2 is about $22 less than Option 1(c) On an annual basis, both options cost about the same( d) On an annual basis, Option 2 will cost about $820.
You invest in a piece of equipment costing $40,000. The equipment will be used for two years, and it will be worth $15,000 at the end of two years. The machine will be used for 4,000 hours during the first year and 6,000 hours during the second year. The expected savings associated with the use of the piece of equipment will be $28,000 during the first year and $40,000 during the second year. Your interest rate is 10%.(a) What is the capital recovery cost?(b) What is the annual equivalent worth?(c) What is net savings generated per machine-hour?
Two 150-horsepower (HP) motors are being considered for installation at amunicipal sewage treatment plant. The first costs $4,500 and has an operating efficiency of 83%. The second costs $3,600 and has an operating efficiency of 80%. Both motors are projected to have zero salvage value after a life of 10 years. All the annual charges, such as insurance and maintenance, amount to a total of 15% of the original cost of each motor. If power cost is a flat 5 cents per kilowatt-hour, which alternative should be chosen at 5,000 operating hours per year? Assume an interest rate of 6%. (A conversion factor you might find useful is IHP = 746watts = .746kilowatts.)

- An electric automobile can be purchased for $25,000. The automobile is estimated to have a life of 12 years with annual mileage of20,000 miles. Every three years, a new set of batteries will have to be purchased at a cost of $3,000. The $3,000 cost of the batteries is a net value with the old batteries traded in for the new ones. Annual maintenance of the vehicle is estimated to cost $700. The cost of recharging the batteries is estimated at $0.015 per mile. The salvage value of the batteries and the vehicle at the end of 12 years is estimated at $2,000. Consider the MARR to be 7%.

- 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_forwardAn airline is planning to make iPads® available on some of its Boeing 747 aircrafts with in-flight e-mail and Internet service on transoceanic flights.
