An industrial coal-fired boiler for process steam is
equipped with a 10-year-old electrostatic precipitator
(ESP). Changes in coal quality have caused stack
emissions to be in noncompliance with federal
standards for particulates. Two mutually exclusive
alternatives have been proposed to rectify this problem
(doing nothing is not an option). The MARR is 9% per
year. Make a recommendation regarding which
alternative to select.

A supermarket chain buys loaves of bread from its supplier at $0.50 per loaf. The chain is considering two options to bake its own bread. Neither machine has a market value at the end of seven years, and MARR is 12% per year. Use this information to answer (Select the closest answer), What is the minimum number of loaves that must be sold per year to justify installingMachine A instead of buying the loaves from the supplier? (a) 7,506 (b) 22,076 (c) 37,529 (d) 75,059 (e) 15,637.
Vidhi is investing in some rental property in Collegeville and is investigating her
income from the investment. She knows the rental revenue will increase each year, but
so will the maintenance expenses. She has been able to generate the data that follows
regarding this investment opportunity. Assume that all cash flows occur at the end of
each year and that the purchase and sale of this property are not relevant to the study.
• If Vidhi's MARR = 6% per year, is this investment a profitable undertaking? Use

The $15,000 Dart can cruise at speeds up to 85 miles per hour, and it can travel 95 miles per gallon of fuel. Another two-seater automobile costs $11,000 and averages 45 miles per gallon of compressed natural gas.
