The initial cost of a packed-bed degassing reactor for removing trihalomethanes from potable water is $84,000. The annual operating cost for power, site maintenance, etc. is $13,000. If the salvage value of the pumps, blowers, and control systems is expected to be $9000 at the end of 10 years, the AW of the packed-bed reactor, at an interest rate of 8% per year, is closest to:
a.
$−24,900
b.
$−25,518
c.
$−13,140
d.
$−26,140
A machine used to shread cardboard boxes for composting has a first cost of $10,000, an AOC of $7000 per year, a 3-year life, and no appreciable salvage value. Assume you were told that the service provided by the machine will be needed for only 5 years, which entails a repurchase and retention for only 2 years.What salvage value, S, is required after 2 years in order to make the 2-year AW value the same as it is for its 3-year life cycle AW? Assume i = 10% per year. Solve using factors and, if assigned, using a spreadsheet and Goal Seek.
Determine the IROR and profitability index at 12% per year for an industrial smart-grid system that has a first cost of $400,000, an AOC of $75,000 per year, estimated annual savings of $192,000, and a salvage value of 20% of its first cost after a 5-year useful life.

- The Asia Corporation manufactures compressors for commercial airconditioning systems. A new compressor design is being evaluated as a potential replacement for the most frequently used unit. The new design involves major changes that have the expected advantage of better efficiency. From the perspective of a typical user, the new compressor would have an increased investment of $8,600 relative to the present unit and an annual expense savings dependent upon the extent to which the design goal is met in actual operations. Estimates by the multidisciplinary design team of the new compressor achieving four levels (percentages) of the efficiency design goal and the probability and annual expense savings at each level are as follows: Based on a before-tax analysis (MARR =18% per year, analysis period of 6 years, and a salvage value of zero) and E(PW) as the decision criterion, is the new compressor design economically preferable to the current unit?arrow_forwardA small manufacturing company is considering the addition of one or more of four new product lines.

- A new municipal refuse-collection truck can be purchased for $84,000. Its expected useful life is six years, at which time its market value will be zero. Annual receipts less expenses will be approximately $18,000 per year over the six-year study period.

In one particular application, physical constraints compromised the pipe layout, so the engineer was considering installing the air flow probes in an elbow (Plan A), knowing that flow measurement would be less accurate but good enough for process control. This plan would be acceptable for only 2 years, after which a more accurate flow measurement system with the same costs will be available. Plan A has a first cost of $25,000 with annual M&O estimated at $4000. Plan B involves installation of a recently designed submersible air flow probe. The stainless steel probe could be installed in a drop pipe with the transmitter located in a waterproof enclosure on the handrail. The cost of this system will be $88,000, but because it is accurate, it would not have to be replaced for at least 6 years. Its maintenance cost is estimated to…arrow_forwardFour mutually exclusive alternatives are being evaluated, and their costs and revenues are itemized in the Table.
