New tires are purchased for service trucks. Each service truck is given 4 tiresand a spare. If there are 65 new tires, how many trucks will receive new tires?
given the following data of cut and fill, compute the free haul distance, overhaul distance, waste and borrow volume. having the values of:
Cost of overhaul: 3000 ID/station
Cost of free haul: 5000 ID/cu.m
Cost of borrow: 15000 ID/cu.m
Free haul distance (F.H.D.): 300m = 2 stations
Cost of waste=5000 ID/cu.m
economic overhaul distance=5 stations
limit of economic haul=8 stations
A truck unloads 20m³ of gravel at a landfill. You, who own the truck, plan to purchase an uncovered box in which to transport the gravel on multiple trips. Your cost is the cost of the box plus $2.00 per trip. The box must be half a meter high, but you can choose the length and width. The cost of the box will be $20.00 per square meter for the front and back; and $10.00 per square meter for the bottom and sides. What should be the dimensions of the box you should purchase to minimize your total costs?

- Three transportation projects have been proposed to increase the safety in and around a residential neighborhood. Each project consists of upgrading existing street signing to highly retroreflective sheeting to increase visibility. The following table shows the initial construction costs, annual operating costs, useful life of the sheeting, and the salvage values for each alternative. Assume that the discount rate is 8%. Calculate the present worth for each alternative and determine the preferred project based on the economic criteria. Discount Rate: 8%arrow_forwardThe proposed steel bridge has an indefinite life. The initial cost of the bridge is $3,750,000 and annual maintenance costs are estimated to be $25,000. The bridge deck will be resurfaced every 10 years for $900,000 and anti-corrosion paint will be applied every 5 years for $250,000. If the interest rate is 8%, what is the EUAC?arrow_forwardA four-year-old truck has a present net realizable value of $6,000 and is now expected to have a market value of $1,800 after its remaining three-year life. Its operating disbursements are expected to be $720 per year. An equivalent truck can be leased for $0.40 per mile plus $30 a day for each day the truck is kept. The expected annual utilization is 3,000 miles and 30 days. If the before-tax MARR is 15%, find which alternative is better by comparing before-tax equivalent annual costs a. using only the preceding information; b. using further information that the annual cost of having to operate without a truck is $2,000. Rework the above exercise, by comparing after-tax equivalent PWs if the effective income tax rate is 40%, the present book value is $5,000, and the depreciation charge is $1,000 per year if the firm continues to own the truck. Any gains or losses on disposal of the old truck affect taxes at the full 40% rate, and the after-tax MARR is 5%.arrow_forward
